Harassment terristic threats theft of my entire life no shit my business of 15 years 2014 cripto coin and way way more

Hi,

I am on v100 on iOS (iPad and iPhone). I noticed that in the Recently Visited list on a homepage I can see history from my private browsing included. It's really worrying as I don't see those items in the browsing history.

Regards,

Ben

Since the most recent update, Firefox now does not close the private tabs on app closure as it should even though the button to say delete this is actually active.

Also, when listening to music through Soundcloud or Bandcamp or YouTube, even after the tab with the music is closed, the music continues to play. This has all started today and is highly frustrating. As is trying to find this feedback page! 45 minutes into trying to “get help” I finally found somewhere to write this problem out. (Though I doubt Mozilla are interested in fixing the issue, judging by the complete lack of customer support and their labyrinthine Help section which I have to say is NOT in any way helpful, just needlessly stressful).

Recently Firefox has started to automatically log me out of the sites that I regularly visit on the iOs version of the browser. I then have to keep logging back in each time I visit the sites. It's also incredibly finicky in the fact that sometimes I will be logged into one site, but not another, as if it's slowly deleting the history/logins or temporarily remembering certain sites before forgetting them again.

I'm on the regular tab for the browser app, not in the private/incognito one, but this continues to happen.

Trying to find an answer online leads me to people talking about a "never remember history" toggle, but never where to find it on iOs, just on the desktop browser. The only equivalent I can find for this is the "clear private data" under the data management tab, but when I try to toggle those off for browsing history, cache and cookies, they are auto switched back to on when I leave the settings as there is no way, or indication, of saving.

I don't know if this is something to do with the most recent update(Firefox 115.0) or what, but I'd like to figure out an answer because the continuous having to log in on my own device that I only use into what are my accounts on sites is starting to get frustrating.

Does Firefox have an app, setting, or a different browser than Firefox in Private Browsing mode that allows me not to be tracked and having no or minimal ads while surfing? Firefox in Private Browsing mode has too many ads taking up a lot of space on my smartphone’s screen. I don’t want to have loads of cookies, and web caches after surfing, and don’t want to have to delete unknown cookies on my phone. I have tried Duck Duck Go, Safari with Adguard, Ghostery, Firefox in Private Browsing mode, etc on my iPhone, but still have tons of cookies and web caches, plus unknown cookies on the phone web history.

Thank you very much in advance!

I am a biomedical research and need to log into the login.gov site to manage my grants. However, access to this site is blocked in Firefox but works fine on Chrome. I'd rather stay with Firefox but will switch to Chrome if this can't be fixed. Thanks, Claire

How to turn off private browsing mode in Firefox on ipad? How was it turned on? I did not intend to turn it on. I want for it not to turn on automatically.

Thanks for your help!

I ALWAYS use FF in incognito mode. I do not ever switch to non incognito. However, after closing FF (iphone14 pro max, all fully updated) for a couple of hours, when I open, it’s magically back on NONincognito mode.

Also, when in incognito mode, FF still keeps cookies after I have deleted them and cleared caches.

hi

i use the ios firefox app on iphone 13 ios 16.5.1

the firefox app used to open automatically where it was left off for example if i had closed it while in view mode of all the private tabs and reopend it would still be there in private mode with all tabs in view.

it no longer does this instead it always opens on the standard browsing mode. it also only opens links from other apps in standard browsing mode too now when i open them in the app.

i noticed this start happening maybe a few weeks ago not sure exactly when. i dont think it was a change in my settings because i searched them all for something like this and recall it always being the previous way where it would stay in private mode after being closed.

does anyone know how to fix this or experienced the same?

thanks

I'm a long time supporter of firefox, more from a philosophical point of view than a practical one. it's my daily driver on mac, not so much on windows as chrome works better there.

Now my feedback is about iOS. I've tried many times to use firefox but the app is simply not good enough, not fast enough and what I don't really get is why the safari + firefox focus add on is better than the standard firefox app?????? start there, you'll probably get more users. love seb

Hi there, I just downloaded the Firefox mobile app for iOS and when I opened the app for the first time got a terrible surprise. The home page was displaying a list of "recently visited pages" but (1) they weren't recently visited, and (2) they were pages I'd visited using a private tab on another Firefox browser (that wasn't supposed to save cookies). It felt like a BIG violation of my privacy. When I searched online for info about this, I found a Reddit/r/firefox thread with others describing the same privacy breach 4 months ago. PLEASE FIX THIS.
