Firefox for iOS Support Forum

Is there anyway to get the bookmarks back on the homepage for iOS and if not can it please get added back. I really like this app but it feels like every update removes a function or adds something that makes life more painful.

How do you export bookmarks to an HTML file when using FireFox for iOS? NO! I don’t want to use Sync! NO! There is no import/export menu option anywhere in the iOS version of FireFox.

My mobile bookmarks have gone missing. I think the reason is that I bought a new iPad and transferred everything over to the new one automatically using the Apple transfer feature. My bookmarks made it over to the new iPad, but the mobile ones did not...and were then gone from my old iPad as well.

One clue: on the new iPad, the folder at the top is now called 'desktop bookmarks.' Anyway, all of the advice about mobile bookmarks on this site entails navigating to the profile on a desktop for a prior version...which is not possible on an iPad. Help getting the bookmarks back would be most welcome!

Hi - after deleting then reinstalling Firefox on my ipad I found that all my bookmarks had disappeared. I’ve tried re-syncing bookmarks to no avail, and tried to follow instructions to find my profile (‘about:profiles’, enter) but just reverts back to the same page so can’t progress, tried settings/troubleshooting but no sign of my profile folder let alone ‘Application Basics’. Are my bookmarks permanently gone? Any advice would be much appreciated (I should say I’m not the most computer literate so very probably there’s something I’m not doing right!) - many thanks, Cheryl.

Hi,

When using the Edit bookmark feature I can no longer see the button that allows me to actually save changes. I took a screenshot of the edit bookmark window and have attached. As you can see while the window pops up, it no longer contains any buttons to make the edit changes. As a result I can neither edit, or add new bookmarks any longer

Thanks,

I have taken two screenshots describing what I mean. Usually, you see a edit/save tab when you click bookmarks to either bookmark a page or edit the location of an existing one.

This has been happening for a while. And I have kept my device and all apps updated to latest available.

For this post, I tried to bookmark a page. Then tried to edit it’s location to “Lending” for instance. In both screenshots you can see there’s that edit/save button missing.

Because of this i am unable to edit my bookmarks’ location.

After a recent Firefox update, my Bookmarks on my laptop browser disappeared. I have all my Bookmarks on my iPhone. How do I Sync FROM my iPhone so I can put my Bookmarks back on my laptop browser? I don't want to Sync onto my iPhone because that would erase all my Bookmarks.

Are my Bookmarks saved anywhere that I can access them?

Is there a way to reach Firefox support directly?

Attempted to scroll through a folder of bookmarks (Firefox for iOS on an older iPad Pro that’s been fully updated to iOS 16.1). About halfway through the scroll, the app shuts down. Upon restart, it restores tabs, but also apparently clears cache, forcing me to re-login to accounts.

In this latest version, if you attempt to remove an item from the home page by a long press on the icon, when the menu pops up and you choose remove, nothing happens. Worked before I upgraded the version.

You can make that item a shortcut, visiting the page and then remove shortcut using the menu choice under the burger menu. But that is a pain.

I attached a photo to help with understanding. iPad os 15.6.1

Thanks, Wayne

I feel like most browsers let you chose that any new tab you open will be either blank, a specific page, or your favorite bookmarks, but I haven’t figured out how to do this in Firefox yet. It’s very annoying, and if it’s not a functionality yet I hope they will add it soon. It’s been around for ages in other browsers, I can’t believe it doesn’t seem to be a choice in Firefox?

Your response to me sucks. It's uninformative at best and non-sense at best. No wonder you don't have people to speak with. I'd rather use another browser that's credible!
