Firefox for iOS built-in translator performs partial/incomplete translation on Wikipedia

When using the native translation tool in Firefox for iOS to translate an English page (specifically tested on Wikipedia) into Portuguese, the translation is incomplete and inconsistent.

This behavior mostly occurs inside collapsible sections (the topics that expand and collapse when you tap the arrow icon). The translation failure is not just on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis; it often occurs partially within the same section, where some sentences are successfully translated while others right next to them remain entirely in English.

Ios 18.7.8(22H352) Firefox 152.4(74210)

Steps to reproduce:

   Open Firefox on iOS.
   Navigate to an English Wikipedia article (mobile view, which uses collapsible sections).
   Trigger the built-in Firefox translator to translate the page to Portuguese.
   Expand one of the sections using the dropdown arrow.

Expected result:

The entire text, including all sentences and paragraphs inside the expanded sections, should be fully translated into Portuguese.

Actual result:

A broken, partially translated layout where some sentences/paragraphs are translated, but others immediately below (or within the same block) remain in the original English.

(Note: Please attach your screenshot showing the open section with the arrow and the mix of Portuguese and English text).

Anyone know what is happening? In the past month or so trying to view websites on iPhone, even on Firefox has become impossible.

The number and size of ads has metastasized to the point they block out all content. Is this a new trend? Is it my settings?

Who is responsible for this shift — the website ad settings or the browsers? Is it Google further breaking the internet?

For the neurodiverse, it’s an accessibility issue as well as a dystopian nightmare.

Please tell me there’s a way to fight this apart from permanent reader mode. This has vastly reduced our use of the internet. Each site feels like a trap and a scam.

The ads cause anxiety as well as irritation and general thwartedness as I cannot reach the content! What are these people/bots thinking?

Thanks

Just want to use the internet without having to close the re direct ad and go back twice. I have strict setting on but still has no effect. I just started using iPhones recently and I’m thinking I might just quit and go back to androids. This is basic stuff needed for use. Is there any way to stop this? Appreciate the help.

When adding a new shortcut on the Firefox homepage, it moves previous shortcuts. I would like to arrange shortcuts to my liking and keep them in these same place as I add new ones further down on the rows. Is there a way to do that?

It's been a number of updates now that bookmark keywords have stopped working on iOS. Typing a keyword in the address bar just calls the default search engine for that word instead of opening the bookmark directly. When will this bug be fixed?

Okay so this never happened with Chrome, so I'm assuming it's a firefox only issue. Whilst I'm watching a video, if said video is playing in fullscreen, it'll often fade to black during different parts, such as whenever a flash happens or quick cuts (e.g. a film with lightning strikes, causes it to fade to black and it stays like that). It is SUPER annoying and it causes me to have to rewind if I miss something because of it! I don't watch YouTube in fullscreen because of it, but it even does it in streaming services! I honestly have had enough but do not want to switch back to Chrome.

Took this photo of the movie Cruella because I knew there was loads of flashing lights at one scene. You can see that the video is faded but the rest isn't. The second image is when I click multiple times to try and stop it! But it happens again directly after.

And yes, I've tried the 'full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter' and 'leave' in Advanced Preferences.

In previous versions of firefox for ipad, a blue notification was shown temporarily at the bottom of the screen when a tab was closed, allowing to tab This was really helpful, as it happens quite frequently, that I hit the close icon accidentally when switching tabs. Any chance this feature can be enabled again? Thanks

Sometimes when I come back to the Firefox app (i.e. already opened to the last tab I browsed) the lower search bar is floating in a place on my screen higher than normal and I’m unable to access it. It’s blocking the screen and I can’t touch or type into the search bar. It requires a quitting of the app and restarting it. This happens almost every day at least once or more. Seems like a bug of some kind perhaps to with scrolling on the page. Would love a solution.
