There should be a "Page Summaries" option in the Settings menu of Firefox for iOS. However in settings this option does not appear in the list, resulting in no way to turn off page summaries or remove the icon from the toolbar.

Please advise on how to disable this useless AI crap when the appropriate settings are not visible in the interface.

Your latest update seems to have broken Firefox on my iPhone for me ☹️👎🏼 I now can’t access my Shortcuts or Bookmarks at all - they appear “shadowed” in the lower half of the screen but if I touch this area it flicks back to the last URL.

HOW DO I FIX THIS ???

I've been using Firefox for a good few years now, on my computer as well as my mobiles. After the latest update for my IOS (144.1 or 62735) and I've always loved the inactive tab system. I've noticed that some users have not shared my appreciation for it but as it has now been seemingly removed, (and I am unable to find anywhere in settings to toggle it back on) my tabs are now too many to efficiently traverse. Finding a specific tab is almost impossible.

Some of you may say, "Hey Truck, that's a you problem," and you'd be completely right! However since I do keep a lot of tabs on my mobile open and I don't close them down (because I usually go back and use them after the alloted 14 days) this is now an issue for me.

Wall of text aside, is there any chance that I may have overlooked in settings where to turn it on, and if not, could I please ask for that feature? Specifically Firefox IOS.

Many thanks, Truckmaster

How can I stop firefox from autorefreshed and autoreload the page I am reading in my apple Iphone or on my Ipad. For some pages with lots of advertising is quite annoying.

Greetings all, Has anyone seen the issue of when wanting to use the bookmark shortcuts that are pinned they get shaded over and unable to be accessed. I’ve noticed this for a few weeks now. When I depress in the address bar, it has always displayed my pinned bookmark shortcuts and allows me to choose one of them by depressing that one. Now, when I depress the address bar, a shade or shadow immediately overtakes the screen and disallows the ability to choose one of the pinned favorites. To access a pinned bookmarked shortcut, I must start typing the URL enter the address bar and then choose from there. Hopefully, you can see the shadow over the screen in my screenshot. Quite annoying and hoping Mozilla can either tell me what to do or fix it themselves. Thank you for any input you may have.

After the most recent Firefox update for iOS, none of my shortcuts work. They’re all still there - or it looks like they are - but whenever I tap on one of them, I return to the page I was just on - no loading, no changes, no nothing. I am still on iOS 18.6.2, but this wasn’t an issue before the Firefox update.

My Firefox browser works just fine, and the "about" tab says it is up to date with ESR, but Chase.com won't let me log in, saying I need ESR. If I already have it, what gives?

Hello, Bookmarks and Sync is still a mess on Firefox and needs the backup protection. Search results say to sync the bookmarks, however my question is about backing up before the sync, as unclear syncs can wipe Bookmarks from device1 when device2 has no data, and incorrectly syncs in the wrong direction. Desktop is easy to just copy paste the bookmarks file, but how to copy/paste a backup on iOS? I might post another question regarding the incorrect Firefox 142.0.1 (aarch64) desktop instructions currently prompting on the browser.

I am using an iPad. How do you stop firefox from opening a new tab when clicking on a link? I want to it to follow the link in the same tab almost always.

Thanks for you help!

A few weeks ago, concurrent with the release of iOS 26, Firefox pushed an update for iOS and iPadOS (possibly Android too) which no longer shows the full URL in the address bar when it is not in focus. There is no option to toggle this on or off in the settings. I understand this was a change made in Chrome long ago that they say improves the security for users due to phishing sites, etc.

I would like for this to be an optional feature. It is especially frustrating when using a search engine, as I will have to tap the address bar to check what my search term was if I am halfway down the results.

Hi! So I have been using the firefox app on my ipad air for a while now and in the last few weeks the following issue has turned up: Regularly, but not always, the app opens a new tab any time I click on a link. Example: I use moodle for work and each time I want to get somewhere in my moodle classes, a new tab opens. When I give the app a fresh start, the issue resolves for a while but returns eventually. I have no idea why but I have to say that it is quite annoying when you have to scrool through tabs all the time. Hopefully, you will be able to help me out. Thank your for taking the time to understand my issue! Sandra

Why does Firefox mobile for iOS look different on my iPhone 13 pro max vs my wife's iPhone 12 pro max? both UTD on iOS version. I suspect that I must be missing something in settings, but cannot figure this out. See images below.

On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Firefox app has the nice home button, tab button, and hamburger menu button on the bottom (address bar on top both cases). On my wife's iPhone 12 Pro Max, it has the "+" for new tab, the 3 dots instead of hamburger menu, and then the tab button. I much prefer the layout on my phone, as does my wife, but I cannot figure out how to change her layout to match mine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,

I am trying to add Brave as the search engine on the Firefox settings in iOS, however, I continue to receive an error message stating “Please fill all fields correctly” I am using the below URL:

https://search.brave.com/search?q=%25s&source=desktop

And

search.brave.com or https://search.brave.com

But none are working and I continue to get the same error message

Firefox on iOS states "No saved passwords" despite my desktop having all passwords and sync turned on. Turning off sync, signing out and back in, deleting the app and reinstall, all did not resolve the issue.

Any help appreciated

i recently got a new mac desktop and transferred over all my info from my older mac book

on my macbook i often use google docs as i am a collage student, and i often swap between 3-4 google accounts for school, work and personal use

this was never a problem with firefox on my prev machine, but now i am for some reason unable to open google docs on this computer and only recive a 400 error

i am able to access google drive, but trying to open any document returns an error 400. it is the same across all accounts

i tried troubleshooting mode as well as manually turning off all of my extensions, it did not fix the problem

i tried logging in on private mode and it DID work but i don't really want to be stuck in private forever

i did delete the app and re-download from safari but the problem persists

i also cleared all data from the past day from the browser itself, it had me log back into my google accounts but the docs remained non accessible

i think the issue might be with apple's application data for the firefox app, but i have no idea how to fix that without destroying something important

any help would be greatly appreciated
