Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Hi everyone,

I'm Ajay Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). The update I installed three weeks ago has drastically reduced performance—everything is running about 80% slower. Every page load or tab switch now takes around 10 seconds.

Is this a known issue, and is there a fix planned? I’ve been a loyal Firefox user for 20 years, but if this continues, I may have to switch browsers.

Thanks! Ajay Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss)

I have used Firefox to log in to Hotmail.com for years. Suddenly Firefox is deleting login data when I close the tab, but not the browser. And when I return to hotmail in a new tab, I now get a window that says it "can't sign me in, try again later." I have to close Firefox and reopen in order to get a new login page. I have always had Firefox set to delete cookies and site data when I close it. Under History setting, it's "use custom settings", "delete history on closing." Under those settings I have browsing and download history unchecked. My hotmail setting is to stay logged in. What's up?! I've always been able to return to a logged in hotmail all day no matter how many times I close the tab and return to it. I've never had that problem before and don't have it with Safari. I also do not have that issue with yahoo mail.

When I click on the settings menu, the menu seems to be indented and deformed once. This phenomenon has only appeared in recent versions. I'm not sure whether this is related to my login status or the size of my mobile phone screen.

When browsing, if I leave Firefox open, go to another app such as messages, when I return to Firefox it opens a new tab with the default location.

Why can't I just return to the tab that was already open?

I cannot seem to add a bookmark from my iPhone. I have done everything on my phone to try and fix it. It just closes the menu and i open it back up and it closes again when i click it. I even checked every folder and link i had and the website i am saving is not there. EVERY other button works to my knowledge, or at least everything i usually use. I am beyond confused and feel i am doing something wrong but i am unsure. I would add a photo but idk how to add a photo of the UI not properly working on my phone.

Nothing is wrong on my computer. Well not anymore. I used to always randomly for no reason lose bookmarks when i moved anything around and had to export them often which i do anyways luckily. It was so bad i had to switch browsers on my computer and phone but tried Firefox again and it seemed to be fixed. But now this is happening. I have not used my phone to save a bookmark for a while as I usually use my computer when using a web browser but it

With the most recent iOS update they swapped the location of the settings button and tabs button. This was so unnecessary?? It just doesn’t make sense for settings to be sitting in the middle of the taskbar like that and while this is a stupid complaint, I really dislike the change lol. It’s annoying me very badly to be pressing settings when trying to change tabs.

Any way to revert it, or any setting I’m missing for a classic UI?

Should be great when i close Firefox the history and tabs are automatically deleted/closed.

And before i used edge which deleted the history Windows and iOS at the same time

The previous update I installed three weeks ago has slowed the performance by 80%. Are you aware of this? Is there a plan to fix it? Every page loaded or every switch between tabs takes 10secs. If it doesn’t improve I will leave Firefox for the first time in 20yrs.

The social security website says I must click on an unblock icon in the browsers address bar to upload documents, but I can’t find that. Firefox says I must grant permission to share photos with a website, but it doesn’t say how.

How do I grant permission (where do I find icons to click) to share photos?
