Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox für iOS

I was searching on Firefox and encountered a pop up “your iPhone has been hacked” and an ‘OK’, which you are encouraged to use based on immediate attention being required.

This pop up has frozen my app and I cannot close this tab nor can I access any other tabs I have in use. Troubleshooting tried- closed the app several times and also turned my iPhone off and back on and get the same result. I cleared my website search history and use the following security’s settings: Prevent cross tracking, Hide IP address: (from) trackers and websites, Fraudulent Website Warning, Not Secure Connection Warning. I am using the iPhone 14 Pro Max and am running on the most current iOS: 18.5. These settings are for Safari.

Has anyone experienced this situation and know how to close the hacker message tab and what else one might need/want to do in response to this pop up?

Any advise would be most appreciated! Kindly, LaL

I'm opted in to studies, but unable to toggle the switch to opt-out because it is "grayed out" (screenshot attached).

Cannot find any studies-related solution in existing community Q&A except for one that says to toggle the switch to opt out, which isn't an option for me.

Thanks in advance!

Good Morning

I would like to change the download folder to a different location as it can be achieved in Firefox for Mac. But how?

Thank you very much!

1週間ほど前にFirefoxがアップデートされたのか、インターフェースの見た目が変わりました。 それ以降、検索バーに文字を入力すると、入力中のテキストの背景に濃いグレーの色が表示されるようになり、文字（黒）が非常に見づらくなって困っています。

この背景色の変更は、Firefoxの設定で元に戻したり、調整したりすることは可能でしょうか？ あるいは、ユーザースタイルシートなどを使う必要があるのでしょうか。

使用環境： ・Firefox バージョン：139.2 ・OS：iOS 18.5

検索するたびにすごくストレスなので、アドバイスいただけますと幸いです。ただ複雑な設定などは自分には対応できそうにないので、解決できなそうならブラウザを変更するしかないと思っています。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Hello,

I blocked the pop-up windows from settings but it doesn’t work. Some websites keep spamming these windows and its annoying. Is that function limited? Is it just an option that doesn’t work?

In addition to the hack concerns. I was curious if and where, I can see a list of devices that I am signed in

       Please  am advise  and thank you once more!

During the configuration of my iPad, I noticed that there is no option to add a custom query URL, like it exists under Android. Therefore, after adding the custom search engine (and when it's chosen) the search suggestions are missing. While I know that there are technical limitations regarding Firefox on IOS/IPadOS, I don't think/hope that this is one of them.

I'm a big fan of Firefox and particularly appreciate the ability to automatically clear my Browse history upon closing the application. I've been trying to find this feature on Firefox for iOS, following steps similar to those available on the desktop version (Settings > Privacy & Security > History > "Clear history when Firefox closes").

However, I haven't been able to locate these options on the iOS app. Is this feature currently unavailable on Firefox for iOS? If so, are there any plans for its development in future updates? This is a functionality I highly value for privacy and would love to see implemented on the mobile version.

Thank you for any insights!

Greetings all,

The topic that best describes my question / challenge is Firefox browser settings- at least I hope there is setting for this. I have looked within Firefox and the appropriate iOS settings but I am coming up blank so far.

Important to note, the behavior I describe below is specific to Firefox for iOS. Using Safari, I get a different behavior -one that I used to see in Firefox.

In the screenshot I have attached we can see a website offering the first portion of an authentication prompt: the field to enter an email address.

Placing the cursor inside the email address field -to select / activate it- the text ‘Hide My Email’ appears just above the keyboard. I have circled this in red to highlight what I am referring to.

What I used to see in this space is integration with my Password Manager of choice. Now I see ‘Hide My Email’ and I cannot figure out how to get the password manager back in there.

As I mentioned earlier, Safari is showing my password manager in this space -as expected- but Firefox is not.

I am not using ‘Hide My Email’ through iCloud+. I have not configured it within iOS, and I don’t see a way to turn it off.

Ideas?

When selecting a link on my apartments website a blank tab opens. It used to work and I can't figure out why it doesn't work now. The apartment managers say the have changed nothing. Firefox on my iphone works but not my imac.

Thanks for the help.
