When clicking on a search link in firefox for ios, it does not open a new tab, which it used to do. I prefer that, if I need to do more searches from the search query. It is an issue on both iPhone and iPad, but not on pc (Mac or Linux).

Is there a way to clear all of the [List] Reading List on Firefox for iOS other than one half-swipe at a time?

I've tried to enable the Reading List sidebar on the desktop version via about:config, but I can't seem to find the sidebar.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my question.

i am using firefox ios. I would like to install the official Ublock Origin extention from the official Firefox extention site. It will allow me to press the "Download" button, but then it will open a page that says,

"Almost there! Now finish installing Firefox."

I am doing this in the official Firefox browser App, so I'm sure you can understand my confusion seeing as I am already here and I downloaded the App a long time ago. It is my default browser, I do not have any other browsers installed on this device and I never have.

Beneath the previously mentioned quote there are two blue hyperlinks. The first is labeled "Get help with your installation." The second is labeled "Download in another language or for another operating system."

It will not present any other options to me, and it will not install any extentions even if they are official and Mozilla approved. Firefox doesn't seem to be able to detect... well, itself. I have no idea what I should do to fix this. I'm sure its likely a simple solution that I am just not aware of or something like that.

1週間ほど前にFirefoxがアップデートされたのか、インターフェースの見た目が変わりました。 それ以降、検索バーに文字を入力すると、入力中のテキストの背景に濃いグレーの色が表示されるようになり、文字（黒）が非常に見づらくなって困っています。

この背景色の変更は、Firefoxの設定で元に戻したり、調整したりすることは可能でしょうか？ あるいは、ユーザースタイルシートなどを使う必要があるのでしょうか。

使用環境： ・Firefox バージョン：139.2 ・OS：iOS 18.5

検索するたびにすごくストレスなので、アドバイスいただけますと幸いです。ただ複雑な設定などは自分には対応できそうにないので、解決できなそうならブラウザを変更するしかないと思っています。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

I tried send link to device to device for the first time today from my Firefox for desktop to my iPad. Both devices are synced to the same Firefox account and currently signed in. I get a "Sent" pop-up notification after I do the Send on the desktop web browser, but there is no notification of any kind on the iPad.

My searches for this on the web, and on this site, show me only the 'how to send' steps, and I see nothing that is 'where to look for received links'. What should I expect to see on the iOS device when I do this send?

I can't find a way to turn it off in settings, but whenever I reopen the window the last tab I was on is open even if I closed it before.

Is there actually a way to turn that off?

Since the last update (123.4) I have this behavior in both iPadOS and iOS: when there's a link that opens in a new tab, most of the time the new tab will open an about:blank page instead of the actual link.

I noticed this happens as I use the browser more: if I force close it and reopen it, the links will usually load OK for the first 1-4 sites, but after a period (or loading a "heavy" site la Facebook) I can reproduce the error 90% of the time.

Happens on iPad Air 3 and iPhone 13 mini.

Here's a screen recording of this behavior: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0289O_mRO-taFjm4tcOH3bAtQ

自分はiPadでFirefoxを使用しています。以前は常時画面左上にホームページに飛べるボタン（事前に設定したURLに飛べる家の形をしたボタン）があり、大変快適だったのですが、最近のアップデートによってUIが変更され、そのボタンが消えてしまいました。これによってかなりこのアプリは不便になり困っています。また、常時画面右上にあったブックマークしたリンクが並べてあるところにアクセスできる星型のボタンも消えてしまいました。これは運営が意図した変更なのでしょうか？他のユーザーもこの変更には困っていると思います。もしよろしければ、以前のようなUIに戻していただきたいです。また、これは要望になりますが、ブックマークしたリンクが並んでいるタブを開いてブックマークしたURLにアクセスしたときに、それを押してもそのブックマークタブが画面から一旦消えることなく恒常的に画面に表示されるようにしていただきたいです。そして、sprit viewを使用しているときにブックマークタブからブックマークしたURLに飛ぶとき、一旦そのブックマークタブを閉じないとサイトをスワイプしたりタップすることができなくなるような仕様にはしないでいただきたいです。常にブックマークタブが画面のどこかに表示され、常に画面に出して置けるようにUIを改善していただきたいです。よろしくお願いします。

Hi community,

Hopefully, someone can help me with this strange issue:

I've installed Firefox for iOS (iPhone) and would like to add DuckDuckGo as my default search engine but there seems to be an issue with the query string as shown on this support page.

When entering DDG to the list in Settings using the suggested query string "https://www.duckduckgo.com/search?q=%s", every search in the URL text field (in this case "vin") sends me to the DDG start page where my string is changed to "search" in the search field (see image) and below with a bunch of search engines. Then I have to enter my initial search string one more time.

Hopefully, this explanation makes sense.

What can I do? Any help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Peter

I have been looking all over Firefox for the setting to change the icon (was included in the latest update notes) but it’s nowhere to be found for me. Am I missing something?

Running the latest Firefox iteration on Mac, OS Sequoia 15.5. After the last recent update my bookmarks have vanished. I can only find a very outdated set related to an old profile (going back at least two years). There are no files anywhere in the library when I tried to follow instructions for restoration (most of which apply to Windows), and I can't find any backups. Is there a way of accessing and restoring the most recent backups or the original file in this situation?

NB is it possible that the update overwrote my profile with a new one? -- snapshot of the profiles on file attached. bit9ck45.default-release is the current profile; the other is the very outdated one.

I have searched repeatedly and cannot find a way to turn on vertical tabs in Firefox for iOS — iPad specifically. Everything I find seems to refer to Mac.

Thank you.

The release notes for Firefox for iOS 137.0 mention a new icon picker. Where can that be found? Same question for the new “Appearance Menu”. I don’t see either of these anywhere and the release notes give no details. Definitely have 137.0 installed.

Every time I switch out Firefox iOS and switch back, the browser keeps on opening new tab instead of staying at tab I was on. Is there a way to prevent this ?

I am using an iPad. How do you stop firefox from opening a new tab when clicking on a link? I want to it to follow the link in the same tab almost always.

Thanks for you help!

iOS 18.5 -> Firefox app Firefox 141.2 (59350) -> Menu (3 horizontal dots bottom near right) -> Bookmarks (top left) -> Add (top right) -> where does this added bookmarks go to? I cannot find it? I suspect Bookmarks are not being added from the phone. I sync between desktop and phone, currently having to add bookmarks via the desktop.
