None of the topics really had anything to do about my issue so I just picked one.

Anyway, I want to always run the browser on my iPhone in dark mode but for a couple of month now it keeps resetting to light and most of the times I need to switch of the manual selection and back again to make it work.

I have had this issue before and after upgrading to iOS 10 and both on my old iPhone 12 min (RIP) and my new iPhone 15.

I have reinstalled the app multiple times to no avail.

I have made a screen recording that I hopefully managed to link to.

Please help.

Sincerely, Erik

Screen recording of the issue

I don't want emails from Pocket.

AND

I want to keep Google and Chrome as my main company and browser.

Do I need to uninstall Pocket?

Have an EMPLOYEE answer my questions, NOT A VOLUNTEER.

Selecting Settings in menu - no response. Also Customize home page is non-responsive. Firefox for iOS. On a iPad.

There is no Firefox pop-up or page change when I select either. Didn’t test for other issues since a unique bug for me. Never seen anything like this that didn’t crash the app.

When Adding a Shortcut to the Android Home Screen, it allows you with a pop-up option to Rename the Shortcut before placing it on your Home Screen.

However, when attempting to Install a Progressive Web App (from compatible Web App web sites), and clicking Install, it does NOT give you the opportunity to Rename the Shortcut.

In contrast, Chrome/Android allows the name change in both cases (non-Web App and Web App sites).

Is this feature in the works on FireFox Android?

Is there a work-around to Rename Shortcuts either before or after placing them on the Home Screen ?

Hello,

When I press the address bar to go to another website and don't type address by myself but use a bookmark from startpage a new tab is always opened. I almost all situations I don't want to open a new tab. Is there a way to configure to not always open new Tabs? I don't find information about this in FAQ.

Firefox has been my go-to browser for years both on mobile and desktop. The mobile browser has an extremely irritating bug that I hope the team can address. I have Firefox set to dark mode manually, so it should be independent of my system wide setting at all times. Each morning when my iOS system setting switches from dark to light, the Firefox decides to change as well. It does it then throughout the day at random times too. I’ll check the Firefox theme settings and it will still be toggled to dark mode. I have to toggle it use the system setting before I’m then able to get to manually back to dark mode. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, but nothing works. I look eagerly for updates to the app in the hope that it will have been addressed, but it keeps doing it. Is this something only on my phone or is anyone else having this issue?

Hi. I have a question regarding the latest version 118.2.0 for Android. If you want to save websites that you visit often you can press "add to shortcuts" and then you could easy reach them in the Firefox home page. In the new version 118.2.0 you must always press refresh when you open one of the "shortcuts" For example, if you had a shortcut to CNN.com earlier (in the old version) and opened it you always came to the "refresh" side. In the new vesrsion 118.2.0 you always must press "refresh" I dont know if this is a bug or not ? Regards /O

Firefox on Android is great, but you can't move your shortcuts, edit the URL for them or sync them with desktop.

Am I missing something? Since it's easy to do this very basic thing that most other browser's have by default?

I can't find an answer to this, and if it's by design, then why? It makes no sense to not have a basic feature like this in a browser.

Hi!

We use Firefox, on iPhones and iPads (and on our iMac, but this is not so much of a problem on the big computer).

You know on the home page, where you have your pinned shortcuts, and each one has its own little icon (which, I believe, is usually supplied by the individual websites?) showing a logo for the website in question. Makes it easy to find the shortcut you want, at a glance.

Well, for more than a year, we’ve been having an annoying little issue:

All these logos get mixed up! Or sometimes, random, generic looking squares appear, with a single letter that has nothing to do with the website in question.

I might see my favorite aviation blog’s icon, on the spot for townhall! And the familiar townhall icon appears over the link for Bible Gateway! And further on down the line, the shortcut for NOAA weather just has a pastel pink square with the letter W in it.

Inexplicable!

It’s not a terrible problem - my shortcuts are all still there, in the same order in which I pinned them. However, one has to hunt through these mixed-up logos to find them!

I would appreciate any help that can be given! Thanks!

Why does Firefox purposely choose to alienate their Android users by not allowing them to choose their own home screen. The Firefox web browser on Windows does.

As much as I distrust Google as a company and avoid using their products (as much as convenietly possible), I am very comfortable using their search engine and comfortable seeing a Google homepage with the Google search bar.

Firefox doesn't even give me the courtesy to: 1) know or understand which search engine I am using when I am on the "forced" Firefox homepage, or 2) set my own homepage. Therefore, I have to ensure the cursor is in the "search/web address" bar, start typing "google", and hit enter in order to get to the familiar Google homepage of which I am comfortable. I hate that Firefox forces me to do that!

Otherwise, I like using the Firefox browser as an alternative to Google. Nonetheless, it's your company and you can do what you like, but as soon as I come across an alternative browser that allows me to adjust it's settings to my preferences, it's adios MFr's to Firefox.

FYI, I would LOVE to meet the decision maker at Mozilla that OK'd this change and listen to him/her/they hem, haw and double-speak through their ridiculous justification. Another thing, while I'm at it.... Exactly, when did it become a better idea for companies (challenging the industry leader) to alienate their users?

Please, many people find an oying the fact that Some installed WebApps still have a Top bar on then with the adress site (which is unneded and ruins the purpose of installing a WebApp. Here I will upload 2 pictures, one on youtube and one on reddit. Both with the annoying top bar. Just let us disable it!

Even though Recently Visited is turned off I have lots and lots of recently visited sites showing up on my homepage. I have to manually remove them to clear the homepage. How do I make it stop showing all this clutter?

It happens on both me and my girlfriends phones, so I guess either something is wrong with the setting or it doesn't do what I think it is supposed to do.

See screenshots for example.

Dear, I’m trying to switch from Safari to Firefox on iOS but I’m having the following issues:

1- Dark mode is always on and changes every pages color. I have to manually switch it off and, if I close the app, it switches back on automatically. I would love to make it always off (currently I’m using dark theme but I tried to use light theme to check if it keeps dark mode off even after closing the app however it doesn’t… leads to my second issue);

2- I selected light theme and it was working until I close the app. When I reopen it goes back to dark theme (and dark mode too). I chose the option manually switch however it goes automatically anyways.

3- I use Google as my main search engine and I always login to my account however, after I close the app, it logoff automatically and I have to login back again.

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.

Im a regular user of Firefox Mobile and also Firefox PC. I'm missing a very important feature in "Firefox Mobile" is Shortcuts are not Coustomizable i can't order them and also shortcut isn't "Synchronized" with Firefox Account which is really frustrating. Became "Vivaldi" & some other browsers have this features!!! I used firefox like 2years but, If i want these features i have to shift from firefox to other browsers, which i don't want to. So Please Solve my problem and make me mozilian forever.

I have scheduled dark mode enabled on my Android device,when the theme of device changes from light to dark or vice-versa,theme of Firefox doesn't change immediately, I have to restart the FF Android app for the change to take effect.
