I put in a question on Firefox focus, non sexual, and was sent to pornography site, which blocked my attempt leave site. Firefox focus would not leave the site and each time I pressed the backwards key the site showed more pornography.So I uninstalled Firefox focus. Why does Firefox focus allow the hijacking of its site.

I'm switching from SRWare Iron to Firefox Focus. I'm liking it, and I appreciate the danger of feature creep on an intentionally pared-down product. But, some features I do miss, in order of importance (to me):

  1. An option to open a new (blank) tab - I often want to search for more than one thing, and opening a link I don't want jtst to get a tab is a poor workaround
  2. The ability (either an option or by default) to stop sites from blocking pinch zoom - on a phone, sometimes small items are hard to tap accurately
  3. Gestures, nice to haves, but I'm accustomed to them:
   # Address bar swipe to switch tabs
   # Pull down to refresh

I think pretty much everything else I can live without, or actively prefer not to have!

Hi there, When I try to use Firefox Focus by tapping the search bar (see screenshot), my phone keyboard does not appear. No matter how many times I tap. I have tried clearing cache, deleting the app's data, restarting my phone, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app. None of these fixed the issue. This makes the app completely unusable. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT: The keyboard app I am using is Gboard - it came pre-installed on my phone.

Integrating ublock Origin into Firefox Focus?

I feel like this would be a better approach to adblockinv on Firefox Focus. I love this browser but it's built-in adblocker will often block important elements by mistake, or leave out certain things. Ublock Origin is a very powerful and memory effecient adblocker already part of the main Android app. It's more intuitive to use, has lists which are constantly updated and it can block elements with an element picker. I'm suggesting for it to be used instead as I think it'd be a much better approach to adblocking on Firefox Focus. What do you think?
