I wanted to use an add on. The site told me I needed to download Firefox, which I thought was odd because I was already using the app. It sent me to the App Store, where I saw I needed to update Firefox. I did so, and went back to the add on page. It was still prompting me to download Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and am still getting the message that I need to download Firefox to use add ones. It gives me the link to the App Store, which only has the ‘open’ option. When I click that, it just sends me back to the page I have open…which tells me to download Firefox from the App Store.

I can’t locate an option in iOS Firefox to automatically delete browser history on exit (as I always do in other Firefox browsers). Browser performance predictably gets slower the longer I wait before manually clearing history, to the point where after a week of use it can take more than a minute to close a tab and open a new one

Looking through past user support questions I saw this issue was brought up last year too.

Is anyone working on fixing this problem? I really hope so. Please.

"ios homepage settings" (benisjesus2003 9/13/21, 10:44 AM) and "How to open iOS Firefox on blank home page" (miggy.ad 9/16/21, 5:57 PM), both started discussions regarding the use of "about:blank" and seeing a blank page when Firefox iOS opens. There really was not a solution provided. I've a work around for the time being and would like to know if anyone else has a better solution because "about:blank" has been a favorite homepage, Opening Screen, ...etc. Start with the 3 horizontal bars in the bottom right corner. Select {Settings} and {Homepage} is selected, the first setting is [OPENING SCREEN]. Set this to {Homepage}. Scroll down to [CURRENT HOMEPAGE] and type "https://www.blank.org" into {Custom URL}. To save the entry, touch {Firefox Home} just above the entry. The results while not the same as "about:blank" are very similar. If anyone else has a better solution, please post it here. (Please keep any replies positive to we can share ideals and solutions in the common forum.)

Firefox extensions think Firefox isn’t downloaded

I just downloaded Firefox onto my iPad and signed up for a Firefox account, and am on the app trying to add extensions. The extensions home page gives me a yellow pop up saying “To use these add-ons, you'll need to download Firefox.” When I click the download link, it routes me to the App Store, with the “open app” button since I’ve already downloaded Firefox. When I ignore the pop up and go to an extension, I get another pop up that says “ You'll need Firefox to use this extension” and then gives me a blue button that says “Download Firefox and get the extension.” Again, clicking that button sends me to “open app” in the App Store. I realized I was signed out of my Firefox account, so I signed in and got the same results. I powered my tablet off then on again, and got the same results afterwards. What can I try to convince my tablet*browser that I’ve downloaded Firefox and am browsing all this via the Firefox app?

Hi,

My apps are automatically updating so I cannot tell what triggered these crashes. But Firefox now crashes continuously, as soon as I start the app.

I am running an up to date iOS 15.6 on iPhone XS.

It is impossible to use Firefox on my iPhone, not even for one second.

I hope you can fix this.

I am experiencing constant crashes while using Firefox app for iOS. The error message is the standard “Well this is embarrassing” message with no additional context. It appears to be occurring when sync is enabled - when I have it disabled I don’t experience any crashes, or at least so infrequently that I don’t notice it. While syncing is enabled however it crashes no matter what I am doing at the time, and as frequently as every couple minutes. The version in settings is Firefox daylight 102.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple times but the issues persists.
