In iPhone iOS 26 when doing the Partial-Swipe-Up to reveal information displayed on a different APP; on the reduced view of other running APPs (typically used as the method for switching between different APPs) the Firefox Focus APP’s reduced-screen version displayed, is changed to a blank screen with only the logo visible; this is not unexpected, because the Focus APP is trying to provide a level of privacy/secrecy. • Use-Case Description: Unfortunately, while typing in a search into the input field of Focus, if one wants to ensure the spelling in the search input is correct (There being another APP displaying the correct spelling, so actually viewing it is the only available method to use it elsewhere because that APP was made to only display content, but not allow highlighting or selecting any of the text/content displayed, so there is no way to have that otherwise captured to be available for pasting into any other APPs’ input method that can accept, and includes the apparently-still-active Focus APP.) by viewing the reduced screen-view, and not actually switching TO any other APP, having seen/confirmed the spelling or any reference shown because it was still displayed in the other source-APP’s reduced screen-image while doing the Partial-Swipe-Up action; the problem occurs, even if one hasn’t removed their finger from their screen, until they’ve slid & lifted their finger in the manner that specifically returns directly back to the Focus APP in its full-screen active state, with the expectation that their previous text input would still be there in the search input field, because they hadn’t hit [Enter] to submit what was already entered, and wouldn’t want to submit the partial typing without the additional info yet, and expect that the first info would be available to correct the misspelling or continue to input the correctly spelled word so as it can be appended to the previous text input (which may have been relatively complex) typed, but not yet submitted. • When the Focus APP returns to the state of being the exclusive, active, full-screen APP, it does so without displaying or retaining the previously typed input. It, instead, presents itself on the screen in the same state that it does when the APP is initially opened.

• My hope is that the APP presents itself, when returning to it now filling the screen, is presenting what in other browsers equates to being a “New Tab,” and there may be available the equivalent of previously-opened tabs, still retaining the original text, as-entered, that the user could switch to, in some way, to have the partially-entered search criteria still available, when it is switched to being the active one displayed in Focus. • If that sort of switching is available, what action(s) would the user need to do to accomplish returning to it in a manner that they could continue where they last were entering their search criteria, picking up right where they left off. • It would be advantageous to still have the prior results displayed as previously shown, while they were typing, which would also have it scrolled to the same state being displayed.

• This use-case may not necessarily be counter to the intent for which the Focus version created, because it could still have the same clean interface that eliminates any other visual distractions, without eliminating the whole of ALL prior focused tasks’ work done, or information collected, but not yet ready for it to be completely abandoned by the action to simply just LOOK AT other APPs’ last displayed information; and, not necessarily just text, the other APPs’ displays may contain some more simple reference such as a color, a shape, or any complexity of displayable content. • My use on android, Windows, Mac OS, Linux’s varied desktop environments available, plus, IIRC, the current iPad iOS levels on recent hardware that can handle extra overhead of the feature that can support the capability to have 2 different APPs both running side-by-side using a type of screen-splitting capability.

Please help me resolve the following problem: When using a physical keyboard attached to iPad, when I tap in the Search bar of Firefox Focus, I am unable to enter any text because the keyboard focus does not remain in the search bar. I have found the following workarounds: If the browser has a page already loaded, I need to tap the Delete icon in Firefox Focus in order to clear the page. Or, if I temporarily detach my physical keyboard, then I can use the Search bar as expected. After doing either of these things, the Search bar works properly. (Note: The problem described above seems to have started happening with iPadOS 26. It did not occur in iOS 18). Thank you for your assistance.

I am trying to add a custom search engine of my choice for maximum efficiency, speed/privacy, etc, autonomy, preferably SwissCows.. it is a secure site to my knowledge and all references lead to it having been secure, have searched it multiple times, no problem whatsoever, however browser is having some problems with detection when I input it in settings. If any staff onboard your teams could assist, I have not yet gotten this chance to take a screenshot, but I can also do that in a soonest reply I can.. I have been using the link provided on site for the search engine of Swiss Cows (as I said it's not as well known of a site, but it's a very secure one and smaller Swiss based focused company.. and even as well as, https, privacy focused, so yeah I guess.. maybe,, focus may not detect such types of search engine format in addresses alone quite yet.

For your ease of use to save you time, below is that private search engine I mentioned.

Thank you for your help. Hope we can solve this!
