I’ve been trying to install an ad blocker for FF on my iPad and I’m stuck in an endless loop. I navigate to the add on store and it says I have to install FF, even though it’s installed and set as default. The store has the “open” button, not install or download. I have a 5th gen iPad running 16.6. FF is at ver 117.0.

I ran across a bunch of posts about addons not working but they were from about 4 yrs ago. Here are some screenshots of what happens. Are addons prohibited on an iPad?

I needed this browser for my iPad. I had downloaded it on my PC recently. No problems at all. But now when I try and add the BTRoblox extension it says download the app. I DID THAT. Then it says finish setting it up. I don’t know what that means. So if there is anything I’m doing wrong let me know. Thanks! JackyBEAR

What is Mozilla waiting for to improve their browser for iOS? By them allowing add-ons to work on iOS, they could gain significantly more market share, which they desperately need.

And I know extensions on iOS is possible because there’s a new browser that’s come out that allows you to install Firefox and Chrome extensions. Some are buggy, but it still works. It’s called Orion browser.

If Mozilla did it, they could probably come out with a better version.

I've noticed a large increase in ads in Firefox for iOS. Seems like it started about 6 months ago. The worst is Google ads that overlay functional parts of a website. Example is the home page and 10 day forecast page of wunderground.com.

The problem is definitely in Firefox. Firefox Focus doesn't suffer from these ads.

Thanks, Jeff

Will the EU regulations on sideloading and alternate web stores allow non WebKit builds of Firefox on iOS and iPadOS?

Is there any information on if the new EU regulations on side loading / alternative app stores will allow for non WebKit based browsers on iOS and iPadOS?

I keep hoping a way will pop up to get extensions working on iOS and iPadOS, and it seems being unbound from Apples App store may also bypass the WebKit regulation. Does anyone know more information about this?

I am using Firefox version 105.1.0 . I just want to make sure that all web sites not suitable for kids up to 12 years old are blocked. I did some searching. People say that there is no parental control build in for Firefox on Android. I have to use add-ons. I started Firefox and select Add-on. I can see a list of "Recommended". I saw no Parental control and there is no search option. Can you tell me how to do this ?

Hi

I have installed firefox on my Samsung S 6 tablet (bought 2022). I can't get Firefox to show a task bar (or bookmarks menu - but the bookmarks do exist from sync) and I can't add in 1password. I synced with my desktop (where firefox and 1 password work perfectly well) and tried everything I can from online suggestions - but either they haven't worked or some of the settings they refer to don't exist in the Android version of firefox. 1 Password - which is also installed on the device - does not show up in the list of add ons accessed via the Firefox 3-dot menu; and doesn't show up either if 1 password is open or closed . I've wasted hours on this and getting nowhere. Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou RC

For over a decade, mobile users have had no addons for browsers (including Firefox,) how much longer will this last? There are like 10 sponsored addons (out of 10 million for desktop) that install, the rest only let you download the .xpi file (with nowhere to put the file.) Where is the mobile Firefox extensions folder to put the .xpi files for mobile Firefox? I have been waiting for over a decade for such basic support, I am about to abandon Android forever.
