Per this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/summarize-pages-ios

There should be a "Page Summaries" option in the Settings menu of Firefox for iOS. However in settings this option does not appear in the list, resulting in no way to turn off page summaries or remove the icon from the toolbar.

Please advise on how to disable this useless AI crap when the appropriate settings are not visible in the interface.

Firefox is near unusable after iOS 26 update. The UI is gigantic and obscures the browser window.

Is there any way to make the keyboard smaller so I can actually, you know, use the browser? I can't really see what I'm doing. It's like I'm looking through a peephole. … (read more)

Initial performance is good, but over time especially when tabs are opened and closed frequently responsiveness to user input (e.g. tab switching, opening/closing tabs, response to hyperlinks) becomes very slow. After force quitting and restarting, performance is good again for some time. I exclusively use private tabs.

Hiya, The latest firefox update for iOS 26 on mobile added a new feature, or at least a new prompt for an existing feature, with moving the address bar to either the top or the bottom, however this does not appear to apply to the sideways view option, and the address bar is only at the top regardless of which setting is used. Is this a bug?

Also it appears that the auto-hide behaviour takes more scrolling before it engages. Is there a setting to adjust this? If not I would like to request a setting to adjust this on mobile be added as I would prefer it be almost instant in both hide and unhide if possible. Many thanks!

Transient issue where the top of the page overlaps with the task bar (whatever it's called on the iPad) so the plus sign for new tab is under the iPad's battery indicator. Can't close tabs. Seems to happen when reopening the iPad, usually corrects after a few times of switching apps, but very inconsistent. Deleted and reinstalled app, but problem continues. Others have reported the issue.

Re ipad. I was having a problem with Firefox not opening a new tab when clicking on a link online. I searched for solutions and read that I needed to delete the app and then re install the app. So I did. I now have none of my years worth of bookmarks. They are gone. How do I get them back? In addition, the home page has none of my shortcuts but has a bunch of shortcuts I need gone but they will not delete. Please help me. Respectfully, Ravyn

Do to the fact that the password situation is totality out of control, I would like to know if there is a better way of posting the password list. I mean that I have about 300 passwords and every time I open a web site and I need to go into the password list, "in case it doesn't show up automatically" , I can't understand some of the postings because it doesn't say the site, it says the url and it doesn't have the title of the site it just has the url. Then at the same time it has several url's with different passwords because I have several sites under the same url. Example, Google, I have several sites under Google and the password list just has the url's and not the title of the site. So it get very confusing. Is there a way to have to title of the site first and then the url? Then when I want to know which Google account that I want, I can go right to it. Now I am 76yrs. old and know only the basics of computers and would like to use Firefox on the phone, but I am afraid to because I don't know computers that good, but mainly I have trouble with passwords. Just finding the place where I can ask a question has taken me about 30 minutes and I had to sign in 5 different times. I am trying to keep a group of older people such as myself up with their computer and phone. One of the problems is that everything that is written on computers and phones are written for the young. They were born into computers, we weren't. If there is a way to post the passwords by what the site is and then the url, it sure would make things easier. Thank you for your time.
