I’m switching to Firefox from Google. But I use Google lens for identifying things. I don’t know about. I wondered if Firefox has a Google lens or similar utility?

‘In Firefox apps take too long to open or don't open at all. I'm nearly ready to jump to Safari permanently. Been ongoing for nearly a year. Why haven't you fixed it?’ for ‘Firefox for iOS’

On IOS, for the last few days, the syncing of my profile has been failing, because of a timeout.

I have gone so far as to delete my many year-old Firefox Sync profile and rebuild it from scratch, reconnecting various machines. I have also carefully examined said profile, bookmarks, etc. I am unsure of what the timeout issue is, and whether it can be addressed, or of whether my particular use-case is no longer suitable (over the last few days) from Firefox Sync, which is one key reason I've been using Firefox more or less since inception.

Any advice, or is there a bug in the Sync back or front-end?

The relevant log lines are, I think:

Hi,

The question may asked for a lot but... I have a Mozilla account with about 1000 bookmarks, years of hystory and tons of passwords, in brief, i'm locked to Mozilla ecosystem.

Someone gifted me an ipad, so my first thing is to install FF on this to enjoy the web as i like (without ads btw).

As always on new devices, i've looking for uBlock Origin wich is the only serious adblocker on the market.

What a deception to see that it's not possible to install any extension on IOS...

Yes, i can use the ublock "extension" for Safari but then i cannot sync with my other devices.

Guys i dont know what to do, all my data is on my Mozilla account because i trusted them for years, but my iPad suddendly goes unusable because the web with ads is unusable and the web witout my Mozilla account is unusable.

What about a fork with uBlock integrated by default ?

Thanks a lot

I updated to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac. I tried the new split view and it worked. But since then no "+" shows up to next to the last tab to open a new tab. How can I restore that?

Websites open with extremely large text with text over riding each other. Using plus or minus changed size but it is still distorted with portion of text and photos partially on top of each other. No problem using Safari but I have used Firefox for years and would like to keep it.

Starting with iOS 26.4, Firefox for iOS no longer connects to my internal HTTPS website. Safari connects with no problems.

I have a Microsoft Windows Server Active Directory network, and my internal web server is running on Windows Server 2019 Essentials, and uses a self-signed security certificate.

When I try to connect to the web server from my iPhone, all I get is a blank screen. Swiping down to refresh does nothing. I have no problems connecting to any other website with Firefox. As I mentioned earlier, Safari connects to my website with out issue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

We are experiencing a display issue with our Wix-built website when accessed via Firefox Mobile (iOS). After troubleshooting with Wix Support, they confirmed the site’s code is clean and the issue is not on their end. Their official response was that this is a Firefox-specific problem and outside of Wix’s control. They advised us to reach out directly to the Firefox iOS Mobile development team for resolution.

Here is the relevant excerpt from Wix Support:

“This is an issue that is related to their browser specifically. So this will have to be fixed by Firefox. We suggest reaching out directly to their team for a fix to be put in place.”

We would appreciate guidance on whether this is a known compatibility issue, and if not, how we can collaborate to resolve it so that our site functions properly on Firefox Mobile.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Firefox Mobile on iOS (latest version).

Navigate to our Wix site: moversandshakersdance.com/enroll

Try and fill out the form and experience the random zooming issues after text input on form fields.

Observe that as you go through the form Firefox randomly zooms in creating a frustrating user experience.

Compare with Safari/Chrome on iOS — site displays correctly there.

I am trying to disable the autofill in the google search bar from the mobile app, however I can’t find it. I have disabled every option under the browser settings in the app and have found no fix. For example, I had previously visited a site called “bengals wire” now every time I look up “bengals” and hit enter it takes me to that website instead of the google search. It’s just really annoying to have to always put a space after what I’m looking up. I would prefer not to have to use private browsing to circumvent this. I have included a picture as well. Thank you.
