Firefox na iOS Community Forum

Previously, on Firefox iOS, I would tap on the URL bar, type a search query, hit enter, and I would immediately navigate to the Google search page.

Now, in-between hitting enter and navigating to the Google search page, there is a multi second delay.

Tried to check all possible settings, but cannot see any place I can turn this on. I see that if I use google.com for new tabs I can use the google page voice search icon. Want this as an icon directly in the url text field

I am confused because I downloaded Firefox and I thought that was going to be my new browser replacing Safari and then I downloaded the DuckDuckGo thinking that was going to be the search engine that replaces Google now it looks as though their arrivals and then I don't understand how they both work and I'm very confused can you please help explain what each of them are and what their uses are and if I should have both of them are only one. Thank you

Hi I cannot find any way to scan an URL QR code directly from Firefox. I expected that a QR code icon would appear when i tap the address bar, but I can't find such icon...

Of course, I checked the settings: camera is enabled in Firefox settings and QR code scanning is enabled in system settings.

Is there any way to scan QR codes directly from Firefox settings?

I use the latest version of both Firefox (146.1 (65627)) and iOS (iOS 26.3 (23D5089e)) iOS is a beta version... Could this be the reason why...

Many thanks in advance for any help on advice.

iPad iOS 26 Firefox Focus (FFF) and Magic Keyboard (MK) — Cannot use search field after upgrading to iOS 26 — need to disconnect iPad from MK, then use on-screen keyboard, then reconnect MK and then can type with MK — that is more likely an iOS 26 bug, but it is effecting both FFF and regular iPad Firefox.

I've reinstalled and updated Firefox on my iPhone 15, but still there's a Google logo in the search box, not Firefox logo. I hate Google and don't want it in my searches.

Why is it there and how can I get rid of it?

I have added Startpage as another search engine and I can set it as the default engine allowing me to search with Startpage from the URL field. However, when I close firefox and start it again it's back to Google? Firefox 144.3 (63239)

When I search on Firefox on my iPhone 14, the search results are in a tiny font. This just started happening this summer. Everything, all the search results are tiny. So, I no longer use Firefox. How can I change it back to the way it used to be?

Default search is reset to Google every time I close and reopen Firefox. How do I make Firefox remember my choices? I am setting Brave to be the default search.

Thanks!

Hi - I have added Kagi as a search engine and set it to be the default. This works as expected, until at some point, hours later, for reasons I don’t understand, it switches itself back to DuckDuckGo. Kagi remains available as a choice, and I can re-reset it back to default. I’m not sure if this is a bug, or a misconfiguration on my part. Thanks.

Hi - I’m experiencing that the Firefox app on my iPhone (iOS) has a bug where it’s causing it to automatically switch search engines from the search engine I have set in settings to another one that I have disabled. It’s becoming extremely annoying & frustrating that I have to go in and reset it every time it does it - which is close to four times a day. Also I’ve noticed that I can no longer delete search engines I don’t use. Please fix.

The latest version of Firefox won’t save my custom search engine as the default. When I force close the app, it goes back to DuckDuckGo.

iOS 26.1 Latest version of Firefox.

After the latest update, my default search engine in Firefox keeps automatically changing to Google, even though I’ve repeatedly reset it to Kagi. This seems like a bug, but let me know if there’s anything I can do on my end to make the change stick!

On iOS 18.6.2, the latest Firefox 144.2 keeps reverting my search engine back to Google, at least once daily. I set it to StartPage generally, but have found that any other search engine seems to revert to the Google default. Changing this setting usually is reverted within a few hours, but sometimes it may last a full day though. Can anyone help?

I’ve added Kagi as a custom search engine to Firefox for iOS. It works for about a day when searching in the address bar, but always reverts to the previously used built-in search engine (Google, DuckDuckGo, etc.) How can I get Firefox to stick with my custom search engine and stop reverting to the previously used built-in search engine?

Why does the iOS app keep changing my default search engine from Brave to DuckDuckGo?? I changed it to Brave search and I don’t want it using anything else. Why does it not keep this setting?

Search engines switches from Startpage, which I have added as an alternative browser, to either google or DuckDuckGo without prompting. App inactivity and swiping up to close Firefox both seem to prompt this behavior.

Only startpage and Wikipedia are enabled as alternative browsers, and all default ones are turned off.
