Hey, not sure if there was an update but night mode/reader is no longer an option available in the bottom right menu. The inverter is my favorite feature; I hope it’s not going away permanently.

Hi there,

This is a new bug, first discovered in Firefox for iOS version 124. Contributors and staff are looking into this issue, and a fix should be deployed later this week, with version 124.1. If the issue persists after updating to this version when it's released, please let me know. You can track the bug here.

Have a great day!

Hi

Since March 15, 50% of users no longer see Night Mode switch from the hamburger menu. We are using this experiment to monitor and evaluate the impact of removing, so it'll be hugely valuable to hear your thoughts on our feedback platform at https://connect.mozilla.org/.

A dark theme that themes both the app and webpages is still part of Firefox for iOS. You can read more about how to turn this on at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-themes-firefox-ios#w_set-theme-to-light-or-dark

Thank you.

Paul, where specifically should we provide our feedback. I searched Mozilla Connect, but I only see a few unrelated posts. Should I start a new one? Also, I tried clicking the "I have this problem, too" button for this post, but it doesn't seem to take effect (after a page refresh, the button is still there and the post still says "0 have this problem". I want to make sure my feedback is received.

Here's the workaround for anyone who's interested.

Navigate to Menu > Settings > About and tap on "Firefox <version number>" five times. That will open up a hidden Debug section. From there go to Debug > Experiments > iOS - Night Mode and select "control" instead of "treatment-a". That will bring back the "Turn on Night Mode" menu item.

I pulled this from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1443105#answer-1644537. Thanks TimmyTango.

No need for any workarounds.

Hello wonderful contributors! I have yet another update regarding Night Mode. The Product Team took our users' feedback to heart regarding their complaints about missing Night Mode. The experiment has ended, and Night Mode should be available again to all users by end of day. Thanks everyone!
