Hi, all of my passwords and usernames have been deleted. When I go to the passwords section of my account all that is listed is the web addresses. The usernames and passwords are blank! HELP!

Dear Firefox Mobile Support Team, Sirs, I am deeply grateful for your help, products, and efforts to keep users safe, with adequate tools. I use FF on all devices I have, iphone, laptops, iPad... The query now: Few hours ago, the Firefox mobile, on my iPhone, ver. 7, 2018 model, IOS 15.7.1, 256 GB memory - 120 GB full, crashed. I had about 50 sessions opened. As from similar situations before (such errors do not happen often - maybe 1/2 per year), an error message came stating the usual, "It is embarrassing, do I want to Restore sessions, with Options No or Okay". After choosing the second option, Okay to restore all sessions, a restoration was performed. But NO sessions were restored, except that a new tab, empty, was opened.

Practically, the Restore function form the error message did not worked.

I checked the history from the 3bars, History, there is a long list of searches... But there are NO other options available in the controls row in the top there for the History to help restore the sessions. The controls seen are: Bookmarks (asteric), History (a clock), Download (arrow down) and Reading List (a book icon).

There, in the 3 bars, the History choice is as above. The Settings option is with no command to Restore Sessions. A check of the other options also does not lead to a function restore sessions.

Please advise if I can restore the sessions (opened tabs) from various searches and how to do it. I can't imagine there is no way to do it.

The Search history is also available from the empty opened page, Recent history, with the control link - Show all. But as from the above, the history is a history, and not for long period back, traced up to a month, although it may hold for longer period history links....

Similar situation happened about an year and a half, with probably 70-80 sessions/tabs opened. But there, the message was that they were archived. But there was no way, or option to return to the archived sessions. I started/continued then with new sessions, they grew with various searches until today. When the crash happened. Few days ago another crash happened, but then the function Restore Sessions worked, and all sessions were opened.

Either I am not aware of a solution that already exists in Firefox for IOS, or there are misses for such common situations as controls, commands to help to deal with them.

Please help. There must be an option to copy the history (as of now as list) and save it in a file (which to be able to be attached to email and send). Now there is NO such option (on the FF mobile. There must be a function from the 3bars, or help or settings, or the History, as a control/command - Restore previous sessions/tabs. Now there is NOT such a function.

Crashes happen, for many reasons. Therefore the aim is to offer functions to deal with them, safely, for both desktop and mobile FF.

Please help. Many thanks. Stan

P.S. I write here from my laptop. Not the iPhone. For ease. Similar functions should exist (be added if not yet there) for both desktop (laptop) and mobile Firefox. My style of searching (and many like me) is with a lot of sessions/tabs, to which I return now or then. Hence the browsing history from one tab (session) is not of interest (as of now many links but from a single session/tab), but the links from the various sessions. Reason - sessions/tabs cover usually different directions of search, while each one session/tab is for a single website and being opened one can follow the new updates of data there. Chronological list of history shows many searches from a session/tab, which is not much of interest. Maybe a way for better organization of future versions.

1. Whenever you login a site, Firefox does not remember the cookies from the login. So when you close the app and open it later, so you need to login again.

1. Firefox crashes a lot since iOS 16 and now too on 16.1, and now also since the release iPadOS 16.1. This makes the app difficult to use and really bad.

Both are very frustrating and important issue, please fix it!

Firefox on iOS crashed when I toggles the inactive tabs button on and off and I had about 48 tabs as well 300 + private tabs open for years and when I clicked on the restore tabs button, it did not work and nothing came back. Can you please help me restore the session? I really need those private tabs back so I can save them accordingly. The history is there for the normal tabs but the private ones are the ones I really need back. I just need to be able to restore that session. I can provide log files as needed. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

‘Pay with PayPal’ functionality on websites is broken for me and has been across updates of both Firefox and iPadOS for as long as I can remember at this point. I’m using an iPadPro running iOS 16.7.2 with Firefox for iOS version 120.4 (36613). When I’m checking out at e-commerce sites (e.g., J Crew), and I click on the PayPal button when selecting a form of payment, a new tab opens, but it’s literally blank — nothing even tries to connect or load. This happens across e-commerce sites. It doesn’t happen with Firefox on my PC/Windows laptop or on my iPad with other browsers (Chrome, Safari). I have tried everything that I can uninstall/reinstall, deactivate, or toggle, and nothing seems to fix this. I have cross-site tracking disabled in iOS. Some people have suggested that websites are not fully supporting Firefox any longer or that there is a problem with Firefox and Apple’s proprietary rendering engine. I’m really at the end of my wits about this. After having used Firefox faithfully since Netscape disappeared, I’m honestly on the verge of giving up. Please help.

I absolutely cannot get the attached screen shot procedure to work, or, if I do, then the PDF is not formatted properly, please advise……. I use this type of feature all the time to save on having to print an actual printed paper copy

Hello,

I've told to report technical issues on this website.

I've noticed an issue with Firefox iOS where, if Firefox silently crashes and I open a new tab by doing a long press on the iOS home screen, then selecting New Tab, Firefox only opens that new tab and does not restore the previous session and all previously loaded tabs are gone.

That has happened to me multiple times now and I've had to then try and figure out which tabs I had open by going through the browser history, which is pretty annoying.

To prevent that, I'm pretty much not using the long press > new tab functionality at all anymore and instead I open the app first, then open a new tab. Sometimes, I'll open the app, and if the app crashes, THEN I'm asked if I want to restore the session. Then I have to make sure to not accidentally press NO cause it seems there's no way to get that session back afterwards.

I would suggest a few ideas to prevent this issue: - please offer a setting to auto-restore previous sessions after a crash, instead of asking - alternatively, if pressing NO, or opening a new tab from the homescreen with a long press, offer a way to restore a previous session somewhere on the new tab page

firefox for iOS 113.2 iOS 16.5 iPhone 8+

okay, so: this has only been an issue since i updated to iOS 16.5. i can open firefox for iOS without issue, and i think if i just tapped into the search bar that might be fine? (unclear.) but what i know is that as soon as i try to type in the search bar, the app crashes! how can i fix this?

Every time I open the current Firefox app it immediately opens and crashes. This starting happening a few days ago randomly but now happens all the time. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it but it didn’t help. Also restarted the iPhone 13 too. Suggestions? Thanks.

I have an Iphone 11 Pro with iOS version 16.5.1, and I have been having some problems with the Firefox app. I have a number of tabs on my browser, with some of them being very old. I was trying to clear some of them up and I noticed that a good portion of them will not load. Even though I can see their titles in the tab, when I select them, only a blank white page loads up, not even with a URL bar, so I am unable to reload the site. When I try to tap on the tab for longer than a few seconds to bring up additional options, the whole app crashes.

What can be done about this?

I’m having a issue with the app on iOS where sometimes if I leave the app to do other things then return to the app later on it will be frozen. Sometimes I can open the keyboard and type but nothing happens. I also can’t scroll web pages and the app doesn’t come back alive. Instead I have to force close it.

I have a iPhone 13 running iOS 16.2. I have Firefox 108.1 running on it. Yesterday it starts to crash on launch. Can’t even get to troubleshooting. Immediately shuts down. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Tried turning off sync still crashes. Any ideas would be appreciated

Firefox crashed on me. And deleted all the tabs that’s I had up on Firefox. It didsk me if I wanted to restore my tabs and I said yes, but none of them got restored. And I can’t seem to find any recent tabs or anything!

The issue has been reported here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/12053

I have Firefox as my default browser on iOS. However, tapping “search web” from the context menu that appears when text is selected, opens Safari instead of a new tab in Firefox. The only workaround is to tap “look up” from the context menu and tap “search web” in Siri, breaking up what earlier required a single step into two steps.

I had about 500 tabs on FF on my iphone open. The browser crashed and now all of those seem to be gone. "Recently Closed" is empty. Starting the browser just opens an empty page. I had sync turned one but oh magic the synced tabs pretty much immediately diappeared from the other devices as well. Any ideas how I might be able to recover those tabs? Could they still be saved somewhere on the iphone or in the cloud?

I am trying to make a purchase on the 5% nutrition website. The browser will not allow me to change flavors from the drop down menu. When I select from the drop down the page reloads to the default. The website works on other browsers. I am running version 116.0.2. Thanks, Jesse

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering a persistent problem with my website when accessed via Firefox for iOS. The issue seems to be causing frequent crashes or instability when users attempt to navigate certain pages or perform specific actions.

Here are the details of the problem:

Browser: Firefox for iOS Devices tested: iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPad Air 4th Gen Issue: The website crashes intermittently when users perform actions like [specific actions causing crashes, e.g., filling out forms, clicking certain buttons, loading specific pages]. Frequency: The crashes occur frequently enough to hinder the user experience, impacting our site's usability. I have checked the website on other browsers and devices, and it seems to function correctly without any crashes. This leads me to believe that there might be an issue specific to Firefox for iOS.

I've ensured that the website's code is compliant with web standards and optimized for various browsers. However, I'm unsure why this problem persists solely on Firefox for iOS.

I'm reaching out to the community to seek advice, suggestions, or any similar experiences you might have encountered. I'm open to debugging suggestions, potential workarounds, or any insights that could help resolve this issue and provide a smoother experience for Firefox for iOS users.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I’m a bit concerned because firefox has been functioning perfectly fine up to last week, when it started not crashing, but losing the opened sessions. I had many tabs that I would go back to after closing firefox. And then suddenly, when I opened it, there were no tabs at all. This happened again yesterday. And today again. I cannot find the option “restore previous session” like on the computer, so I go to history and manually restore the lost tabs, and of course it isn’t possible to remember everything, so lots are being lost. Could you help me? Many thanks!
