Command + F has suddenly stopped working. Other command functions (e.g., command + L) continue to work as expected, including cut/copy/paste. But command + F simply does not work (going to the menu and selecting the manually selecting the magnifying glass also still works, so it’s not something systemic with the search window, i wouldn’t think).

I posted a message on the App Store indicating the situation, and received a reply from the dev asking me to post my “report” here - not sure if this qualifies, though.

Is there any information on if the new EU regulations on side loading / alternative app stores will allow for non WebKit based browsers on iOS and iPadOS?

I keep hoping a way will pop up to get extensions working on iOS and iPadOS, and it seems being unbound from Apples App store may also bypass the WebKit regulation. Does anyone know more information about this?

I've noticed a large increase in ads in Firefox for iOS. Seems like it started about 6 months ago. The worst is Google ads that overlay functional parts of a website. Example is the home page and 10 day forecast page of wunderground.com.

The problem is definitely in Firefox. Firefox Focus doesn't suffer from these ads.

Thanks, Jeff

Hi, thanks in advance for the help.

My case is simple but I have no ideia the WHY is happening. I use google as a search engine but after a few days, it changes automatically to Yahoo (wich i dont like) and i have to go to preferences and change it back to google. This has been repeating for a few months and I'm a bit fed up of it, so, is there any way to keep google permamently?

Also it is curious that if I restore the default seach engines, it does not appear yahoo, and even if i delete all, and only keep google, keeps on happening again.

I'm an apple user and I also have Firefox since forever on the Iphone and Ipad too and no problem with this ones.

Again, thanks

Close option missing in Firefox on iPad Pro

Hello, I am used to close Firefox on Windows computer by > Application Menu > Close. Here, all open tabs are closed as specified by me in the settings. However, there is no such a 'close' option in Firefox for iOS/iPad Pro (build 114.3 (31916)), and I close Firefox by wiping the application on iPad Pro. Each new session opens the previously used tabs.

What is the best way to close Firefox AND close all open tabs?

Thanks for any suggestion. Best,

Last few days I am unable to see my Xfinity / Comcast & google emails via Firefox - but I can see them via Safari. Addresses are : [edited] @comcast.net, [edited] @gmail.com. Have been able to get them via Firefox for a long time prior. Also, lately firefox will stop my search until I click the FF icon where a wheel is turning and once I click it, it changes to a check mark and then I can proceed. Can you help please? Thank you.

We just got new apple 14 phones. The vpn had to be reinstalled on the (3) phones, but now other apps won’t open with the vpn on. I have also had issues if I am not on Wi-Fi using apps. Are there settings we can’t figure out that are the issue?

Some pages in Firefox show inverted / in negative colours in iOS Firefox. Same page appears fine in Safari on the same phone, so I'm guessing it's a Firefox setting somewhere but can't find anything obvious. Seen the same problem discussed online - but no obvious answer. Anyone got any help? Thanks.

I visited a Realtor site once in incognito mode. I always manually clear cookies and history. Yet, when I reopen, that realtor site’s cookie is back in the list of cookies.

How do I fix this? I do not use shortcuts on the home page. How do I get rid of ALL cookies when clearing/exiting Firefox?

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at www.effulgencefoundation.org. If you entered the right address, you can: Try again later Check your network connection Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

I am having a weird problem after I play a video on an iPad Pro from a mail link. The next time I open Firefox, the next videos play, even though I have no tabs open — I can’t stop the sound of following ads, videos etc no matter what I try. I can’t find any way to stop the audio.
