File does not autoplay at this link: https://www.scituateriltcc.org/uploads/1/4/8/8/148872611/frank_1.mp3 How do I fix it?

In the latest update for Firefox for iOS, the release notes mention you can “Personalize your Firefox Icon with a sleek new app icon picker.” I cannot find this anywhere in the app settings. Can anyone tell me where this is?

Hi, I am having an issue in mobile on iPhone 13 mini where I am trying to view a PDF (a bill so I can’t share the link) and it just opens to a about:blank page that says:

“Your bill is almost ready. Please wait.

Are you using a Chrome browser? Check your browser’s Downloads folder for a PDF of your bill.”

I wait and nothing happens. When I try in chrome it opens immediately in another tab (and doesn’t go to the downloads folder funny enough).

It isn’t in my downloads folder here either.

I don’t think it’s the site since it works in chrome.

I tried turning off pop up blocker, clicking the link again, and it didn’t change anything.

I also notice it is labeling the blank page as an insecure connection. It is from my city electric company so that wouldn’t be likely.

Thank you

The 'Open Private Browsing' shortcut from the app icon has been broken for years. Long-press on the Firefox icon → "New Private Tab" → it opens a normal tab instead.

Once inside the app, it now takes five taps just to start typing in a private tab:

Open Firefox Tap the tabs icon in the bottom-right Tap the mask/private icon at the top Tap the "+" to open a new private tab Tap one last time on the address bar to actually start typing

Address bar autocomplete doesn't work at all — not even for bookmarks or sites you visit often. You have to type the full URL every single time, including dots, hyphens and the extension. This causes constant typing mistakes.

You also can't open any bookmark directly into a private tab.

Private browsing has become so frustrating that it's basically unusable, and this has been going on for years. Private mode is one of Firefox’s most important features. These basic issues really need to be fixed.

After years of hoping for a dedicated new tab button in Firefox for iOS, my wishes were answered this morning when I installed the Firefox 140.2 on iOS. As explained in the release notes, there is "a sleeker, more intuitive Toolbar and Tab Tray — with smoother animations, simplified controls, and a modern look that feels right at home on iOS." What's more, it replaced the (IMO) useless "home" button with a BEAUTIFUL one-tap new tab button! I was overjoyed!

However, a few hours later, my Firefox UI has reverted back to the old way. It still claims to be on version 140.2, so I don't understand how that happened. As far as I can tell, there are no options within settings to get the new UI.

What happened, and how can I take advantage of the new UI?

On my iPad I tried adding a website I got an error message saying I have to have a device enabled to screw fire fox I have Firefox on my iPhone I’m being to hate Firefox , why do I have to put my default email in every time when using Firefox ??

Firefox has suddenly started to ‘crash’ on startup, I tap the icon, a black screen with the Firefox logo appears for an instant then disappears. I tried to restart the app, then the iPad, then I deleted, restarted the iPad and then reinstalled the app again, no change. I have installed Firefox Focus which does launch but doesn’t have my tabs etc…Firefox still working on iPhone

on iPad Pro 11inch running iPad iOS v18.2

In the Settings menu, there is no option for “Address” under PRIVACY to save autofill addresses. There is a “Payment” option which allows me to save credit cards to autofill, but not for addresses.

When I search on Firefox on my iPhone 14, the search results are in a tiny font. This just started happening this summer. Everything, all the search results are tiny. So, I no longer use Firefox. How can I change it back to the way it used to be?

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!

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.

Recently, if I am playing audio from Firefox on my phone, the audio stops when my phone screen is locked. This did not used to happen and does not happen if I play the same audio from Safari. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.1. I have tried resetting the phone and removing and reinstalling Firefox, but it persists. The problem does not occur with audio played from the same webpage through Firefox using my iPad, logged into the same Firefox account.

Latest FF release announcement highlights the ability to "shake to summarize" — is this feature no yet available or is it something you have to turn on in FF iOS?

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!

Just touching an image is enough to select it, and it cannot be reliably unselected without leaving the page. The length of the touch varies for no apparent reason. This is particularly annoying when looking at webcomics, zooming in on the small screen. It also affects reading & scrolling through Wikipedia articles.

Note that selecting text will not unselect the image, and zooming in and moving around is enough to trigger the effect. It has been a problem for at least the past 6 months or more.
