Just updated Firefox to version 112.2 on my iPad which has iOS 15 Did the update via the apple App Store. Relaunched (restarted) Firefox and ALL tabs that were open are Gone! I can’t find the “restore previous session” option anywhere.

Can you tell me where to find it? How do I get the previous session back?!?

I’ve been using Firefox for years. Firefox not starting up after the update with all the previous tabs open is devastating to me. I need to get the previous session restored. Please help

mobile Firefox (Firefox for Android) deleted all tabs (more than 30) without any warning

I was browsing through Firefox and as usual I had more than 30 tabs open. I have set them to never close and move old tabs to inactive ones. I was watching a video in a tab and closed Firefox then open another app in cellphone and then after some hours I reopen Firefox and there was only 1 tab (wordreference.com) What happened to the other 30 tabs? They're nowhere. I looked for support and there are many threads and videos for the desktop version but almos inexistent for Firefox Android version. There must be an explanation for this issue and perhaps a solution or workaround. Thank you.

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,

so i want to delete bookmarks, passwords, cookies, site history, everything!!!

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but somehow it didnt remove my passwords (and no i didnt enable sync after reinstall)

Reason: I have just spent a good amount of time cleaning up old passwords that i dont use anymore or have changed and not been updated from some reason. When i re-enable sync, I dont want the saved passwords from my phone to resync to my PC. To be absolutely sure that this doesnt happen i would like to just resync all the data to my phone from my sync account.

I am trying to set the home page on my Samsung S21 with android v13 and firefox v117. I cannot find any means for setting the home page. The customize homepage in the top (3 button) menu has no option for setting a different home page.

The homepage option under settings gives you exactly the same options as above.

The customize option under settings applies only to the theme and has no options for managing the home page.

Unfortunately every version of firefox is different and all the instructions I have found apply to different versions of firefox than the one I am using.

I wanted to remove all of my passwords from firefox, therefore I deleted all of them through the firefox desktop version on linux mint.

On my phone even after syncing, the passwords persist. I cannot get rid of them on firefox mobile, so I thought its a bug, deleted appdata and uninstalled firefox. Reinstalled firefox and logged in my firefox account again only to see that after syncing all passwords appear again.

I really want my passwords deleted and I dont know how to delete them anymore since on firefox android I would have to delete one by one. I want them to not resync ( I dont even know from where since no passwords show on the desktop version anymore)

I want to say: Syncing of logins is on on BOTH firefox browsers. I made sure of that.

Add a deep link shortcut to my Android home screen when "Add to home screen" menu item is missing

I want to add a shortcut to my Android home screen which deep links to a page within a site I use. However, the "Add to home screen" menu item I'm accustomed to using for this is missing.

It turns out that if the website in question is configured to be used as a "progressive web app", then "Add to home screen" is replaced by an "Install" menu item. For my situation, this is unhelpful, because the resulting home screen icon only links to the website's home page, not to the carefully selected URL that I want to deep link to.

SOLUTION

This can be worked around by turning on airplane mode first, then visiting the desired URL. The page, obviously, will not be found, but this causes the "Add to home screen" item to be reinstated. Use it, then turn off airplane mode again. Voilà!
