Recently on my older iPad (5th generation) whenever I do an image search and click on a highlighted image (any highlighted image) or the corresponding thumbnail link, doing so always and only results in a blank page. If however, I choose the option to open the image in a new tab, then and only then does the search go to the desired site. All the other search options seem to work fine.

I have cleared my caches and deleted my histories to no avail. Removing and reinstalling Firefox did not help. Rebooting didn’t do it either. Have I caught a malware that my antivirus protection has failed to detect? Is it a bug in the app?

I’m stumped.

Firefox 123.4 on iOS 17.4 (iPad)--Translation "not available"

Seems like the Mac iOS pop-up Translation function (when you highlight a text on a webpage and a pop-up menu comes up with "Copy," "Translate," "Look Up," etc.) isn't working on Firefox 123.4. I've checked my Settings and it doesn't seem like there's anything that should be interfering, and it worked fine until about three days ago, when suddenly every attempt to Translate gets a "translation is not available right now, try again later" error.

Any ideas? What sucks is I'm not sure if this is a Firefox problem or a Mac iOS problem. Thanks for any insights.

I'm not entirely certain what to list this under... Mozilla Firefox updated a few weeks ago, not entirely certain which version started this issue. However, in the past, when I go to log into my Capital One app on iOS, the password function with Firefox on my iOS keyboard would automatically identify the Capital One login page through the app, and suggest my Capital One password accordingly.

Nowadays, after whichever update it was, now I have to type Capital One into the search bar for the password function. The password page also doesn't come up on dark mode, even though it did in the past, and my system settings are set to have everything in dark mode. Therefore, I'm wondering if it is user error or some thing that needs to be fixed on the back end.

Uninstalled and reinstalled both the Capital One and the Firefox app, as well as restarting my phone (iPhone 13). Nothing has changed. Thanks for your help.

I would LOVE to see the option to either

  • save bookmarks to the last selected location
  • or to set a different default location than „mobile bookmarks“

The background d is that I usually never want to save to mobile bookmark folder, and almost exclusively use the bookmark bar or even a specific „sort“/„inbox“ folder in it.

Is there a way to achieve this on iOS already?

Firefox has been my default browser, but when I click on a link in an email newsletter, for example, often I get to the Firefox homepage instead of the link. I have to click a second time to get the linked page itself. When I search with Firefox and click on a link, I may get there, but if I try to go back to the search page, the page crashes and I'm taken to the Firefox home page. I fear I will lose my saved passwords if I uninstall and reinstall--is there any alternative?

I am trying to sign into a website using a username and password. I am using an iPad Pro.

The issue is I DO have a device passcode enabled. I don't know why Firefox is giving me this message and at that point, all I can to is cancel and return to the website login screen. Any suggestions or help? Thanks much!

I find the process of adding bookmarks really difficult. I have a ton of them and I need to keep them organized, so I have to add them to the correct folder when I make them. So on mobile, I have to go to the menu, tap add, quickly tap the "edit" button before it goes away, navigate out of mobile bookmarks to desktop bookmarks, scroll past every single folder and subfolder I have (there are a lot) and finally get to save my bookmark. Then, when I find something else I want to remember in the same category, I have to do the same 6-step process because the browser doesn't automatically navigate to the last folder I saved to. If anyone knows of a way to make the process shorter I would be very grateful.

All my inactive tabs on Firefox iOS are unable to be opened, whenever I tap on them the page won’t load and I can’t even copy the url from the search bar since there’s nothing there, and half the time the app crashes too whenever I’m on one of the inactive tabs.

I also can’t use the hamburger menu to copy the link or send to another device, and though the tab thumbnail is saved in the cache the page itself refuses to load.

Is there a way to bring them back? I’m running the latest version of the app and iOS.

Firefox is my default browser on my IPad. About two months ago I started having to make two attempts every time to open hyperlinks in email messages. The first attempt led only to my Firefox homepage. The second was always successful in opening the link. Starting about two weeks ago, all efforts to open email links in Firefox failed - they all led to my homepage. There is no problem with my internet connection and the problem persists regardless of whether I’m using VPN or not. Changing to Safari as default browser on my IPad works fine as does using Firefox on my Windows PC. How do I fix this problem? Thanks in advance for advice and assistance. ATR
