When opening a new tab either by a link to another site or entering a url iOS Firefox reverts to another open tab while also opening the new site. This requires manual switching to the new url. Perhaps there is a switch I can change to have it go to the target url. Thanks for any guidance.

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.

When I am using Firefox for iOS, and I click on any text input, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. This bar contains nothing apart from ‘↑ ↓ Done’ on the right. This bar is really annoying and moves the page around irritatingly.

If I click ‘Done’ it will temporarily remove the bar until I click on a text input again, and it will appear again.

I would like to know if this is something to do with Firefox or the device iOS settings.

Hi.

I like to switch tabs in the iOS app with some gesture. Is that possible?

The only thing I found in the documentation is that some keybinding exists, but I do not have a keyboard attached to my phone.

I also found some old request and some Reddit posts that swiping the address bar would do the trick. This did not work for me.

I am hoping for something like a three finger swipe anywhere, but have not spent much thought on a perfect UI integration.

I love to learn how to make switching TABs by gesture work.

Thank you for your work! Oliver
