Hello Since few week I’m not able to use fiorefox on my iOS devices (iOS 16.5). The application is unusable :( it crashes in few seconds even if I don’t try to open new tabs. I tried to remove the app and reinstall again Firefox but without success at the moment I have the version 114.3. Do you have any suggestions on what I can try? I don’t know if this can help but Firefox focus and DuckDuckGo browser are working fine on my devices (I guess they share a good amount of the Firefox source code)

Thanks a lot Andrea

Firefox keeps auto logging me out of sites when I close the app!

Recently Firefox has started to automatically log me out of the sites that I regularly visit on the iOs version of the browser. I then have to keep logging back in each time I visit the sites. It's also incredibly finicky in the fact that sometimes I will be logged into one site, but not another, as if it's slowly deleting the history/logins or temporarily remembering certain sites before forgetting them again.

I'm on the regular tab for the browser app, not in the private/incognito one, but this continues to happen.

Trying to find an answer online leads me to people talking about a "never remember history" toggle, but never where to find it on iOs, just on the desktop browser. The only equivalent I can find for this is the "clear private data" under the data management tab, but when I try to toggle those off for browsing history, cache and cookies, they are auto switched back to on when I leave the settings as there is no way, or indication, of saving.

I don't know if this is something to do with the most recent update(Firefox 115.0) or what, but I'd like to figure out an answer because the continuous having to log in on my own device that I only use into what are my accounts on sites is starting to get frustrating.

On Firefox for iOS, I usually have about 14 tabs. A few of them went inactive, so I reopened them from the inactive tabs section. However, later the same day, I open Firefox again and they’re inactive again. I reopen the tabs again. I decided to do a test. I force-quit the app and restarted Firefox, and once again they’re inactive.

This behavior started a few weeks ago and it’s really annoying, and Im not sure how to fix it. I also noticed that a few of the webpages are now constantly asking to accept cookies when Firefox is restarted. I haven’t changed any settings, so I’m not sure why this is happening.

I always use and have set the opening screen to the “last tab” option, but since version 115.1 was released, when closing and reopening FF (or after it refreshes itself) it reopens on the very first tab.

If I close that tab, it opens on the new first tab, same thing if I rearrange them.

If it’s useful, I have the “inactive tabs” option disabled, and have like, 150~200 tabs open atm.

So im useing firefox to block adds and pop ups when reading manga, the website changes the color of a link to a chapter after you have clicked it to show that you have read it. But Firefox “forgets” this information from time to time making it hard for me to track what I’m reading. Since I follow and actively read around 150 different manga, it’s hard for me to remember them all by name, so this tracking feature is really helpful for me. But Firefox removes this information. How do I turn off this “anti tracking” feature without allow adds again. It seems to delete this information on a schedule so I should be able to keep this info without having all the invasive adds

I would like to recover my tabs, I tried the going into setting and going to that other website but that did not work for me and I do not know what to do anymore, the tabs are not on my history anymore like they did not exist. And it's acting on my computer like it was never a synced device so I have absolutely nothing of anything I had on my phone it is all gone and can not find anything I did on my phone on my synced laptop.

Every single day I need to go through my history and reopen all of my tabs that I previously had open. I have no idea why they keep closing, but have done so since the most recent update. I’m honestly ready to switch to a different browser until this gets fixed because I’m losing my mind over it.

Any help?

I use THUNDERBIRD for email on both my Apple laptop and on my iPad. The Thunderbird Message Filter works well on the laptop. But it does not work at all on the iPAD. All messages received on the iPAD appear only in the general INBOX rather than any of the subfolders. Attached is a screenshot of the laptop Thunderbird list of subfolders. How can I get the sorting to work on the iPAD? Thank you.
