Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I have been using a couple of well known computer browsers that drive me mad the way I have to confirm who I am even after long use with them .

Their system of security is over the top.

I feel much more encouraged that when I use Firefox that I have chose a professional team

Bug report, when opening FFiOs on iPad, the last visited webpage shows briefly then quickly switches to the default page set in settings. This should be a security issue, fire fox should go directly to set page in settings if different from “last page viewed”

On my iphone 17 (ios 26.3.1) Firefox is stuck on a malicious website and will not allow me to access the menu, delete the website, or move to another. There is no clear data on the listing in settings/apps/firefox. Is deleting and reinstalling the app my only option?

Trying to access www.hlc.bike on my iphone but I get a cloudflare error 523 that the host can't be reached. I get an error with cloudflare. Browser is working, cloudflare is working but host error. I can visit the site fine on all my devices with firefox but not on my iphone.

Issue is the host is fine and will load on any other devices. This has been happening for a while now and I just can't figure it out. Enhanced tracking is off. Cookies have been cleared etc.

Will load fine on safari, edge and chrome on iOS.

I don’t see the translation option in the menu. I am running latest Firefox (148) on iOS Translation used to work yesterday

This is supposed to be available according to this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/translate-firefox-ios

I googled how to import bookmarks to Firefox from chrome on iOS. It said to go to General-import browser data. But there is nothing under general that says “import browser data”

bold textUnable to sync passwords from iphone to firefox desktop I'm trying to Sync password from FireFix for iOS to FireFox Desktop, but still I can not pass this data. I have re login into FireFox for iOS but still I can not Sync. Also I have Re Installed and Sync Desktop App with the same issue. Do you know if I can export the Bookmarks and Password from iOS? Thanks

This problem has been on my phone for years, through many iOS versions and several iPhones. I'm guessing its something in my settings but I have no idea what. Basically, when I use Firefox on my iPhone and switch away to another program, when I switch back to FIrefox, it loses its connection to the site I was using and goes to its home page. Yes, really! If things were normal, I should be able to switch away and switch back any time at all, but it pretty much always "crashes" when I do that. But I don't want to call it a crash, because Firefox stays open and happy, but just navigates away from the URL I'd been on. What might I check in order to pursue a "fix" (I doubt that something is broken!). Thanks.

Quick followup - When I'm using FIrefox and simply put my phone to sleep (push the button on the right side, sorry, I forget the name), when I wake the phone Firefox does that same thing and leaves the page I was on and opens the home page.

3/18/26 - SOLVED! Or, rather, fixed. I finally gave up and uninstall Firefox from my iPhone, then rebooted (just for good luck) and went to Apple's App store and installed Firefox again. Set it up to sync with my desktop (Windows) Firefox, and it seems to be running fine on my phone. Whatever was causing the problem before is no longer there. Wish I had more to offer re what that problem might've been, but simply uninstalling and installing again took care of it.

When attempting to access Shortcuts from Firefox iOS there are now additional steps to get to the site than before the last update. Now a user must click in the address bar which then shows the favorites the user has available. The next step is to depress on the favorite you want to access but you must hold the depressed icon to wait for options to appear. Within those options one would choose Open in new tab which then creates a popup that must be clicked reading “switch tab.” Only when these steps are followed just as laid out will a user gets to the favorite website they want. Try it yourself and then follow my directions as per my screenshots. Can’t upload all pics

Thank you, A Loyal Firefox User

Firefox iOS updated this morning to 143.1 In private browsing it’s in dark mode automatically and won’t change even if changing to light in the settings.

Any help? Steve

Firefox guidance says the reader view button should be in the address bar. This seems to have been replaced with an ai feature that is not a replacement for reader. No other menu seems to have a reader view option either. Please help as this feature was critical for making webpages accessible.
