Firefox za iOS Community Forum

On 10/15/25, for whatever reason Firefox literally disappeared from my laptop while I was online. Thankfully I had another browser to get Firefox reinstalled, but in getting all that done a file called Old Firefox Data with 68x5bhgm.default-release was deposited on my desktop. Today I discovered I had no bookmarks in Firefox on the laptop, so thought, fine I’ll just sync it up with the iPhone. The directions say open Firefox on your mobile device. Go to the menu and tap sign in. But the 3 dots do not show a menu to click on Sign in. So I can’t sync anything to get bookmarks back on the laptop. And all these problems began with the latest Firefox update to 144.0 on the laptop. The iPhone Firefox is still on update 143.2. Anyone have any ideas other than restoring to a prior date?

I am trying to sync my new laptop with my ipad. I am using Firefox with Duckduckgo as my search engine. Instructions are to click on the search window and a scan icon will appear to the right but I don’t see it. Would duckduckgo be effecting my ability to do that?

thanks

Hello -

I use Firefox (generally the latest release, currently 143.0.1 for iOS) on my iPhone 15 ProMax which is running iOS 26. The issue has happened for some time and is not tied to these versions.

I have PrivacyPro by Disconnect installed and every now and then I notice in the Activity tab that a great many, if not all of the domains that I have saved bookmarks for have been contacted. I noticed today that this happened following contacts to profile.accounts.firefox.com and mozilla.map.fastly.net.

Is there a way to turn this off? In most cases, I've been to the site at some point, but I would rather not have my system 'pinging' them routinely. It's not an out and out security concern, just seems peculiar.

Instructions from Firefox on my Macbook are: go to Menu (on iPad) and tap Sync & Save data. Then scan QR code below.

I tried to do this, but no Sync option appears on my iPad menu. Is it hidden under another option I do have? I tried choosing 'Settings' but it wasn't there. All the other menu options don't seem relevant - 'Find in Page', for example, or Copy, Share, etc. (I chose the menu at top right of screen, as shown on my Firefox page instructions from the Macbook). Can't see any other Menu icons on the iPad Firefox page. Any advice on how to locate 'Sync and Save' on my Firefox app homepage would be gratefully received! Thank you.
