I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to my iPad. I keep seeing DuckDuckGo as my browser. I want to change my search engine to Firefox but I don’t see Firefox as a listed search engine that I can choose from. Does Mozilla have its own search engine? I don’t want to use the other listed choices such as Google or Bing.

How do I contact Mozilla customer support? The volunteers never actually answer questions completely. I need verified instructions from Mozilla employees. Why tech companies rely on volunteers with no company loyalty is amazing. I'm not having iPad issues, I'm having Mozilla support issues.

Until the latest Firefox update, I could select the menu options, now in the three dots, and select Share which would give me several sharing options such as text, email, printer, etc. Now there is no option to Share so I have to copy the URL, close my web browser, open another app such as email or text, enter the addressee, paste the URL, send the message, close that app and return to the web browser. 8 steps that used to be completed in 4 steps within the open page in my web browser. Why was Share removed?

I updated Firefox on my iPhone 16 yesterday. How can I permanently remove the purple coloring from the top and bottom, and restore a neutral white or gray? Is it possible to restore a previous Firefox version on my iPhone 16, or do I have to wait for another update? Thank you.

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.

Since the last update (123.4) I have this behavior in both iPadOS and iOS: when there's a link that opens in a new tab, most of the time the new tab will open an about:blank page instead of the actual link.

I noticed this happens as I use the browser more: if I force close it and reopen it, the links will usually load OK for the first 1-4 sites, but after a period (or loading a "heavy" site la Facebook) I can reproduce the error 90% of the time.

Happens on iPad Air 3 and iPhone 13 mini.

Here's a screen recording of this behavior: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0289O_mRO-taFjm4tcOH3bAtQ

The FF web browser on mac update was pretty clear about what this is and it being a new available feature. See attached.

Tried searching for this and couldn't find anything related to this new feature. Thanks for your help!

I tried send link to device to device for the first time today from my Firefox for desktop to my iPad. Both devices are synced to the same Firefox account and currently signed in. I get a "Sent" pop-up notification after I do the Send on the desktop web browser, but there is no notification of any kind on the iPad.

My searches for this on the web, and on this site, show me only the 'how to send' steps, and I see nothing that is 'where to look for received links'. What should I expect to see on the iOS device when I do this send?

FF for Mac 140.0b4 (beta channel, autoupdates) Mac OS 15.5 Sequoia iOS 18.5 FF for iOS 139.0

When I initially press on one of my Bookmarks nothing happens. I must press and hold for a moment, wait for a list of options to cascade downward and select from the list. I choose “open the Bookmark in a new tab”, and again nothing happens. But… after making the choice from the previously mentioned step, I noticed a blue banner appears reading “switch” that I also must press on for the Bookmarked page to actually load. This is far different than Firefox operated previous versions ago where when you pressed the Bookmark the page you wanted loaded immediately. No other steps needed. What happened? Why does this happen? Can the coders please revert this functionality?

On behalf of the Firefox community, I implore you to honor this request and revert to what was a simple browser function.

Thank you, MSE

I REALLY hate the colorless background! I just want to change it into a different solid color. I don't want to change my theme, I just want a different background color. Trying to use firefox colors just changes my theme into a nasty pink without even changing the background color. Nothing works.
