Hi I cannot find any way to scan an URL QR code directly from Firefox. I expected that a QR code icon would appear when i tap the address bar, but I can't find such icon...

Of course, I checked the settings: camera is enabled in Firefox settings and QR code scanning is enabled in system settings.

Is there any way to scan QR codes directly from Firefox settings?

I use the latest version of both Firefox (146.1 (65627)) and iOS (iOS 26.3 (23D5089e)) iOS is a beta version... Could this be the reason why...

Many thanks in advance for any help on advice.

Firefox is my favorite Browser because I have been able to customize it tremendously so that things do not buzz and blink and pop up at me, nothing flashes, nothing makes noise unless I deliberately permit it. today I caught Firefox for mobile permitting a video to auto play. I opened a webpage to read an article and suddenly realized that my podcast (from a different app) had been interrupted and now sound was coming from this page (clear from the content of the sound). I literally had not even seen the video in question as part of the page because I had not scrolled down far enough to where it was playing already. And when I had the lock screen on, clicking pause did not stop the video. So Video was playing without my permission, and was ignoring the usual rules of iOS.

I certainly had not clicked on the video or seen any setting that allowed the website to autoplay videos.

And this is not the first time it has happened, but it is the first time that I am positive that I did not do anything to permit this behavior, and that it had to have been the browser automatically playing something on the page. I verified that the same website does not auto play video in Safari. This is a bug in Firefox Browser for iOS .... unless there is some new setting in an updated version of the browser that says 'please bombard me with autoplay at times" which by default was switched on in a recent update.

Last night I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 26.1

Since the upgrade I'm unable to have Firefox play audio for a music stream I listen to when the phone goes to sleep/lock or if I use the app switcher to switch to another app, like Maps.

This wasn't happening yesterday when I was using my phone and listening to the same audio stream in my car with Maps open for navigation.

1週間ほど前にFirefoxがアップデートされたのか、インターフェースの見た目が変わりました。 それ以降、検索バーに文字を入力すると、入力中のテキストの背景に濃いグレーの色が表示されるようになり、文字(黒)が非常に見づらくなって困っています。

この背景色の変更は、Firefoxの設定で元に戻したり、調整したりすることは可能でしょうか? あるいは、ユーザースタイルシートなどを使う必要があるのでしょうか。

使用環境: ・Firefox バージョン:139.2 ・OS:iOS 18.5

検索するたびにすごくストレスなので、アドバイスいただけますと幸いです。ただ複雑な設定などは自分には対応できそうにないので、解決できなそうならブラウザを変更するしかないと思っています。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

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?

Hi! For 2 weeks now I cannot permanently set a default search engine. I've always set Brave as my default search engine in settings. All of a sudden this was changed to DuckDuckGo by Firefox without my knowledge. I can change it back to Brave, but as soon as Firefox is cleared from memory it will revert to DuckDuckGo. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? As it is now I cannot use Firefox when I always need to change the settings before using it.

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.
