Hi, tried as instructed to iPhone>Settings>Safari>Contents Blocker, and Firefox Focus is listed. However, I can't change the button, or Firefox Focus is shown in shade/blurred (It shows Adblock Plus above Firefox Focus in the same manner). Tried 1) with starting Firefox Focus first then go to Settings; 2) shut down Firefox Focus and go to Settings. I was not successful either way. I'm running iOS10, and do you have any hint to solve this problem please?

Hi yokostyo,

Maybe try this before you enable Firefox Focus as contents blocker:

Open Firefox Focus. Tap the settings gear at the top right corner.

Tap the switch next to Safari to enable it. Try the steps you mentioned above.

Let me know if that helped! JoKers

Hi, JoKers, Thank you for prompt reply, and yes, it's solved! Opened Firefox Focus>cogwheel, tried to enable Safari, then an error message appeared, something like: "Activate Firefox Focus. Go to Setting>Safari, tap Safari and select Contents Blocker." Thus I went to Setting>Safari>Contents Blocker, and this time I can tap Firefox Focus on. wow. Coming back to Firefox Focus and following your advice, it's done! Thank you so much, JoKers. If you need screenshots for your info, please tell me. Regards, --yokostyo
