I'm using Focus on iOS. I have recently changed the password for a frequently used site, but Focus always cues me with the obsolete password. I can go into Lockwise and get the right one, but is there some way to clear this cached old password? I use Firefox and have it synced between iOS and Windows versions. It does not have this issue because the Firefox menu has a clear site data etc. option. How can I do this for Focus? Thanks.

Error message showing. Browser will not open no matter which search engine I use.

https://www.google.com/search?q=adguard%20app&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox Focus can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

In choosing a search engine, I found out from the directions on Firefox focus how to add them. But when they gave the string for Wikipedia, it did not work. I was wondering if any knew the accurate one and also is there a webpage that gives search strings for many apps or web pages? When I did a search under “Wikipedia Search Engine String”, I didn’t see a web page that offered it and I couldn’t find it on the Wikipedia site. If someone doesn’t mind, can you give me the directions on how to find them? I would be very grateful.

In Firefox Focus for Android Version 110.1.0 Build#370591223 the option 'Add Shortcut' does not appear in the menu anymore. It was there prior to the update yesterday. I still have several shortcuts listed on the home page when Focus opens which I cannot remove, but that's a different issue.

Has this feature been removed from Firefox Focus for Android?

Especially for some sites, such as the Washington Post, when attempting to clear Focus by tapping the trash can, Focus freezes, then (both) the iPad or iPhone go black with a small spinning circle, rebooting to iPad's/iPhone's entry screen. This started happening recently, in early 2023, after updating iOS. Very very very (did I say "very"?) annoying. If this is not a current Focus bug report, it should be.

Google captcha fails on Safari when Firefox Focus enabled as content blocker

Hi, I have an account with https://www.theguardian.com . On iOS 16.4.1 with the latest Firefox Focus as of today 25 April 2023 (112.0) I kept getting sign-in failures because of Google Captcha issues. Initially I thought it was an issue with Google or the Guardian but this was lasting for many days. I could sign in fine using Safari on Mac Venture 13.3.1 . So I finally had the idea of disabling the content blocker - Firefox Focus, and then the Guardian's sign in page with the Google captcha worked fine and I was allowed to sign in on Safari, plus the iOS app The Guardian as it is using Safari for signing-in. Please fix this. Thank you

I literally have no idea how to use it. The moment I click to close ad on many websites, the website redirects me. In other browsers, new tab opens which I can just close. However, here I need to return to the previous website, which sometimes even doesn’t work from ad website. How am I supposed to go through closing ads so that I can finally start, e.g. watching a video?

As far as I am concerned there is no way of opening multiple tabs on this browser, which means there most likely isn’t option to automatically open links in a new tab.

Hello Mozilla community,

I've been a dedicated user of Firefox Focus for its privacy-centric browsing experience. However, I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what this browser has to offer in terms of protecting my online privacy.

I'm interested in delving deeper into the privacy features that Firefox Focus provides. Could someone please share some insights on how to make the most of features like tracking prevention, automatic data clearing, and the overall enhanced privacy settings? Are there any lesser-known tips or settings I should be aware of?

Moreover, I'm curious about the compatibility of Firefox Focus with various platforms and devices. Does it function similarly across desktop and mobile? Are there any differences in terms of privacy features or settings between the two?

I believe that by learning more about Firefox Focus, I can take better control of my online privacy and security. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping me make the most of this fantastic browser.

I can't figure out why Firefox Focus for Android is opening Amazon links by default. It isn't set as the default browser, as far as I can tell it doesn't have anything set to open by default. Usually I have the option to choose which browser to open a link with because I have multiple browsers installed.

I'm using a Galaxy s22 Ultra running Android 13. Any suggestions would be appreciated

When I do a search in the recently downloaded Firefox focus, I am still directed to google. Is that how Firefox focus works.? And I thought I would be searching the Internet through Firefox and nothing would be going through Google. The default search engine is still set for Ecosia and there is no option to use Firefox. Did I do something wrong here or is that the way this works?
