Hi there!

I recently installed Firefox on a macOS Catalina and it's not working for any site. Every time I try to access any website I get the same error. I even tried to navigate in the Mozilla site to download a newer version of the browser and got the same error (see attached screenshot).

Thank you for helping me with this!



/moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

Aside from poor performance and often inability to load web pages, will Firefox ever work reasonably on iOS? I just "upgraded" to 108, and it immediately broke. Opening to homepage resulted in instant crash. Have seen this behavior on earlier versions when accessing history, bookmarks, etc., but now it's homepage. I.e., the browser is absolutely useless unless opened directly from some other app. Since this happens so often, I'm thinking that "upgrades" should be avoided. This time, I had to delete the app and re-install it, which lost all bookmarks, etc., and it still crashed numerous times when trying to access bookmarks and some of settings. This is a most annoying and unsatisfactory app, and I don't want to spend my time trying to make it work. BTW, I'm writing this from Ubuntu, so that at least I can enter the complaint.

Crash? My Windows 10 tablet pro pop-up keyboard stops working for Hulu & YouTube so far. That's the main ones I'm on for that device. It won't keep popping up for me. Is there a way to be sure that Firefox messages always get to my main email? I want to be sure to get a notification, once someone can reply.

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!

I regularly update the app, without any problems.

The latest one (117) causes a startup crash. Can’t access the browser or the settings.

Thank god for jailbreak, I downgraded to the stable 116.4. Cleared web data, rebooted to a non-jailbreak state, updated to 117 and still crashes.

Back to 116.4 until a solution or feedback.

iPad Air 4th generation, on iOS 14.4.2

Cheers for reading!

I have tried to reinstall the application, but it doesn't seem to work. Whenever I start again to sync my account in Firefox for iOS it begins to stop unexpectedly; after 2 to 3 seconds that I reopen the browser, it asks if I want to restore the previous (empty) session and then - without any input from me - it crashes again. I've tried everything, but seems that nothing works after syncronization. Present configuration: iOS 16.1.1 iPhone 13 firefox for iOS: version 107.2

Firefox on iOS crashed when I toggles the inactive tabs button on and off and I had about 48 tabs as well 300 + private tabs open for years and when I clicked on the restore tabs button, it did not work and nothing came back. Can you please help me restore the session? I really need those private tabs back so I can save them accordingly. The history is there for the normal tabs but the private ones are the ones I really need back. I just need to be able to restore that session. I can provide log files as needed. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

My dark mode keeps switching back to light. And I’m not talking about pages that are white regardless. I’m referring to pages like my home page. I keep it set on dark mode all the time. And I keep have to switch from dark to light over and over again to fix it to fix other pages that are normally dark.

I believe my iPhone 7+ and/or Firefox has been infected with a redirection virus. I can no longer access my Amazon account. Instead it gets switched to a Spanish language version of Amazon. I get other frequent redirects as well. Sometimes my keyboard speed drops to only one character per several seconds. I have deleted my browsing history in Firefox. Safari seems to be relatively unaffected. I am running all current versions of iOS and Firefox. Any and all assistance greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Mark

I have an Iphone 11 Pro with iOS version 16.5.1, and I have been having some problems with the Firefox app. I have a number of tabs on my browser, with some of them being very old. I was trying to clear some of them up and I noticed that a good portion of them will not load. Even though I can see their titles in the tab, when I select them, only a blank white page loads up, not even with a URL bar, so I am unable to reload the site. When I try to tap on the tab for longer than a few seconds to bring up additional options, the whole app crashes.

What can be done about this?

I use this for more than 5 years on iOS, but the last 2-3 versions became horrible. On iPhone XR with iOS 15, the app stops working if I swipe down the control center and go back to the app. When I start the app, the most visited sites and their icons are flashing for 1-2 secs, and some sites are really slow (it is hard to scroll, it almost freezes). I hope you can fix these bugs. If you need screencast to see the phenomenon, I can provide it as well. Thank you!
