Websites with Javascript "MailTo" links don't open mail client on iOS/iPadOS

Hello.

I've found myself to rely on Firefox for some specific workflows that require sending emails that are generated automatically by a website, and I use it across multiple devices, such as Windows, macOS.

Unfortunately, when it comes to iOS, using the aforementioned website, when tapping the relevant "mailto" button, nothing happens.

Some months ago the specific website that I use, was failing to do this action on any webkit browser, but this was later patched by the developer and the flow now works correctly within Safari. This was caused by stricter enforcement of "user-initiated" actions.

Unfortunately it seems that Firefox isn't either capable of invoking the mail client, or get the data from the website properly.

Per this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/summarize-pages-ios

There should be a "Page Summaries" option in the Settings menu of Firefox for iOS. However in settings this option does not appear in the list, resulting in no way to turn off page summaries or remove the icon from the toolbar.

Please advise on how to disable this useless AI crap when the appropriate settings are not visible in the interface.

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.

Do to the fact that the password situation is totality out of control, I would like to know if there is a better way of posting the password list. I mean that I have about 300 passwords and every time I open a web site and I need to go into the password list, "in case it doesn't show up automatically" , I can't understand some of the postings because it doesn't say the site, it says the url and it doesn't have the title of the site it just has the url. Then at the same time it has several url's with different passwords because I have several sites under the same url. Example, Google, I have several sites under Google and the password list just has the url's and not the title of the site. So it get very confusing. Is there a way to have to title of the site first and then the url? Then when I want to know which Google account that I want, I can go right to it. Now I am 76yrs. old and know only the basics of computers and would like to use Firefox on the phone, but I am afraid to because I don't know computers that good, but mainly I have trouble with passwords. Just finding the place where I can ask a question has taken me about 30 minutes and I had to sign in 5 different times. I am trying to keep a group of older people such as myself up with their computer and phone. One of the problems is that everything that is written on computers and phones are written for the young. They were born into computers, we weren't. If there is a way to post the passwords by what the site is and then the url, it sure would make things easier. Thank you for your time.
