Before the current Version of Firefox for iOS one could insert a search item in the address field of the browser and tap Enter and the search quiry was being directly sent to the default search engine and indemediately the search result appeared. But now after hitting Enter the webpage of the search engine appears, i.e. Startpage, and I have to hit Enter again before getting the search results. Is this a bug or an annoying feature?

i recently got a new mac desktop and transferred over all my info from my older mac book

on my macbook i often use google docs as i am a collage student, and i often swap between 3-4 google accounts for school, work and personal use

this was never a problem with firefox on my prev machine, but now i am for some reason unable to open google docs on this computer and only recive a 400 error

i am able to access google drive, but trying to open any document returns an error 400. it is the same across all accounts

i tried troubleshooting mode as well as manually turning off all of my extensions, it did not fix the problem

i tried logging in on private mode and it DID work but i don't really want to be stuck in private forever

i did delete the app and re-download from safari but the problem persists

i also cleared all data from the past day from the browser itself, it had me log back into my google accounts but the docs remained non accessible

i think the issue might be with apple's application data for the firefox app, but i have no idea how to fix that without destroying something important

any help would be greatly appreciated

Recently, if I am playing audio from Firefox on my phone, the audio stops when my phone screen is locked. This did not used to happen and does not happen if I play the same audio from Safari. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.1. I have tried resetting the phone and removing and reinstalling Firefox, but it persists. The problem does not occur with audio played from the same webpage through Firefox using my iPad, logged into the same Firefox account.

I went on Apple app store and there are many Firefox downloads from which to choose. I have an iphone 15 Max Pro and the version the internet said to choose isn't among those on Apple's app. You've sent me links and don't seem accessible, at least for me. My iphone is currently Safari/Bing. Mac is Firefox/Bing. Thanks much, Avril Levinsohn [email removed]@nyc.rr.com

Hello there,

since the latest Updates, especially firefox 145 (63787) the performance in the tab overview is pretty bad. Closing a tab there needs up to 5 seconds. While the tab is closing the whole interface is unresponsive. switching between tabs from the overview results in the same performance issue. It does not matter if I swipe to close or close with the little "x". It always takes several seconds.

Seems to be a problem with the overview because switching between tabs by swiping the address bar is smooth.

I tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not solve the problem.

I'm using the latest firefox for iOS Version on an iphone 15 Pro with iOS 18.7.1

Thanks for your help.

I have found that over the last several weeks when trying to access sites that are local on my network from my iPhone or iPad like Jellyfin, Proxmox for example, that after every time I restart my device I will have to go into Settings and disable then re-enable the Local Network access setting for Firefox for it to load the site correctly. I do not have any issues getting to the sites when using Safari. This issue was first noticed in iOS 26.0.1 and has continued now that I am on 26.1. Firefox is currently on the latest version and has been updated many times throughout the weeks within a couple of days of the updates releasing. I do not have this issue when using Firefox on macOS.


-iCloud Private Relay is disabled completely for my devices. -Limit IP address tracking is turned off for my network. -Allow cross-website tracking is disabled in Settings for Firefox (and has always been). -Custom DNS servers are set at the router and issued directly. -I have signed out of Firefox, uninstalled the app and reinstalled a couple of times now with no changes.
