Just updated Firefox to version 112.2 on my iPad which has iOS 15 Did the update via the apple App Store. Relaunched (restarted) Firefox and ALL tabs that were open are Gone! I can’t find the “restore previous session” option anywhere.
Can you tell me where to find it? How do I get the previous session back?!?
I’ve been using Firefox for years. Firefox not starting up after the update with all the previous tabs open is devastating to me. I need to get the previous session restored. Please help

Kinda just throwing this out here. I have over 5 thousands tabs open on mobile. If I had to wager a guess I'd say I have at least 10,000 if not 20,000. I did actually count to the 5,000 for certain. My main question is I just wanna know if there is a way to definitively know how many I have. I know on the desktop version you can and I have done so, but that wont tell you how many are open on mobile. When ever I try to share all tabs my firefox immediately crashes, all the tabs will reopen afterwards. I just really wanna know how many tabs I have so I write down the number and get to closing them. Thank you for reading.

I tried to search for a solution, but the keywords are too common... Some time ago, I used to access the list of tabs and it would show me the END of the open tab list. Recently, It happens just rarely - most of the time, FF shows the beginning of the list (first, second... tab), and I have to scroll trough all of the open tabs to get to the last one. This is extremely frustrating. Is there any setting that can force FF to open the en of the open tab list?

Coming from the Android version there are a few things that are wonky with shortcuts and tabs on the iOS version.
1. For various tabs, the Previous Page function doesn't work correctly. It either loses its memory of what should have been the previous page (even if the previous page was the starting page). It either does nothing, or it loads some page that was not actually the previous page.
2. The web-icons on the shortcut page are momentarily offset/shifted over by one so that the last web-icon is now in the first position and the rest are shifted over. This appearance corrects itself after a moment or two. Also, the appearance of the web-icons is sometimes small and modern looking, then it reverts to larger more clunky looking ones.
3. When I'm in the start-up view (which is my shortcuts), it invokes the keyboard as if my default action is to begin typing an address into the URL field. I must dismiss the keyboard before I can tap shortcuts that are blocked by the keyboard. It would be better if I could tap the URL to invoke the keyboard when I want it.

I'm trying to determine if this is something happening in the browser itself or some terrible function of certain websites, but several times recently while using Firefox, webpages regularly refresh themselves. Is this supposed to be happening, and how do I make it stop? I'm on iOS Firefox 117.3 (34056).

I'm not sure if this behavior is intended or not.. but it seems unusual and like some sort of glitch.
Firefox re-opens tabs after the browser is closed. Say I hypothetically open the app to make a Google search, open a few tabs from the results, do some research, then close the most recent 4 tabs and then immediately close the entire app.
Upon my next opening of the app, I'm served the New Tab screen. Tapping the square icon that brings up my list of currently open tabs, reveals that those 4 tabs from my previous session have returned. This has persisted through the last few updates, and I've just been living with it for a month or two. If I close a bunch of tabs at once and then keep browsing, sometimes I'm able to keep some of them dead, but some will come back I think. It's inconsistent and strange.
Any help is appreciated.

In trying to open older tabs, the screen in the IRL are both blank. Where did they go and is this irreparable? It doesn't make sense.

Dear Firefox Team,
Whenever I have multiple tabs open in the Firefox iOS app and then exit the app to use a different one, I’ve noticed that all my tabs close. Thankfully, I don’t lose the webpages I was browsing or my browsing history, but it’s quite frustrating to have to go to the tabs section of the app and reopen them manually every single time I switch between apps.
I believe that this behavior could be improved to enhance the overall user experience. It would be fantastic if the Firefox iOS app could retain the open tabs, similar to how other browsers on iOS handle this situation. This would save users valuable time and provide a smoother transition between apps, which is especially important in today’s fast-paced digital environment.
I wanted to bring this issue to your attention in the hopes that it could be considered for a future update to the Firefox iOS app. I believe that making this adjustment would make Firefox even more user-friendly and help retain users who value a seamless mobile browsing experience.

I opened Firefox on my fold 5 and I can't see my tabs...I only see a small box with a number that represents the websites I have open. If I click that numbered box a window opens showing me all the tabs still open. I would like to view my tabs the old way...the way it was when I fell in love with Firefox. Is it not possible with fold 5 or am I doing something wrong???
If I open chrome however it does display all tabs in toolbar menu area. I could just use Chrome but as mentioned I would rather stay loyal to Firefox.
Thanks in advance, Mike s

Just got my first Z fold 5 and love it. Still learning how it works. Tried searching online but couldn't find answers anywhere.
I have Firefox opened in 1 multi window, and when I try to open it again in other window, it will just bring me back to the 1st and nothing happens.
However, if I have chrome running in 1 multi window and I try to open chrome in 2nd window it will work.
Can someone ease explain if I'm doing something wrong or it just can't be done with Firefox. Thanks in advance!

Hello! I’m a bit concerned because firefox has been functioning perfectly fine up to last week, when it started not crashing, but losing the opened sessions. I had many tabs that I would go back to after closing firefox. And then suddenly, when I opened it, there were no tabs at all. This happened again yesterday. And today again. I cannot find the option “restore previous session” like on the computer, so I go to history and manually restore the lost tabs, and of course it isn’t possible to remember everything, so lots are being lost. Could you help me? Many thanks!

Hi,
All of a sudden I started getting a strange download indication which didn't show up when I looked for it. Since then, when I press "+ New Tabs," a new tab doesn't open. A new tab opens only when I've clicked on a new link for a topic.
I cleared the cache, restarted my phone twice and un-and re-installed Firefox twice. I was originally synced with Firefox on my other phones, but I don't want to sign in again with that email until this problem is fixed. I haven't opened Firefox again on my previous phones since this all started. I'm going to cry if those versions are "infected" with this problem as well. I just can't erase all the data I've previously accumulated within Firefox on those devices, either.
Now I've looked in Firefox Support for this problem and I've looked again and again for a way to restart in Safe Mode, but I can't find it. Could someone please help me diagnose and fix this issue?

By my estimate, this happens about 25-30% of the time. If I am in a tab that already has a webpage loaded and attempt to navigate away by searching in the navigation bar (my search engine is set to Google), submitting the search simply reloads the page I was already on and discards my search text. This has happened on multiple devices (all Samsung) for me for years, and I simply put up with it because I don't want to use Chrome. I switched from Beta to release to attempt to stop this, but the bug persists.
