Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Greetings all, Has anyone seen the issue of when wanting to use the bookmark shortcuts that are pinned they get shaded over and unable to be accessed. I’ve noticed this for a few weeks now. When I depress in the address bar, it has always displayed my pinned bookmark shortcuts and allows me to choose one of them by depressing that one. Now, when I depress the address bar, a shade or shadow immediately overtakes the screen and disallows the ability to choose one of the pinned favorites. To access a pinned bookmarked shortcut, I must start typing the URL enter the address bar and then choose from there. Hopefully, you can see the shadow over the screen in my screenshot. Quite annoying and hoping Mozilla can either tell me what to do or fix it themselves. Thank you for any input you may have.

Must be a new update that has made browsing pretty annoying. Used to be, on my iPhone, I would open Mozilla and tap the address bar, and the favorites/home page would come up and I could click my favorites. Now that isn’t possible and I have to open a new tab to get the clickable favorites/home page. I’m realizing the convenience of always have the favorites there was really the only reason to use Firefox. Please change this back so that when I’m on any page and click the address bar, I get a clickable page of my favorites.

Somehow an entire folder with dozens of bookmarks was deleted from my Windows 11 PC. The missing bookmark folder still exists on my iPhone. How can I restore the missing folder from my iPhone to my Windows PC? I am afraid if I just sync the two it might delete from my iphone the bookmark folder I want to replace onto my PC. What is the correct procedure to get the missing folder restored from my iphone onto my PC? Thank you in advance for your time and help. Dave_E

A website that is a scam will not clear from my ipad screen. I have restarted. Cleared all history Website still appears when i reboot and go to Firefox. Here is the site. Https://yajiyumpantry-08a7e3e1b8d0.herokuappp.-com. Apple website states all apple communications will have apple,com in there website names. so i believe this is a scam. HOW DO I GET RID OF IT? now my screen is locked when i go to firefox.

I did try and search this and it seems like it happens fairly often. Out of nowhere I was working on a lot of tabs, they appear in history and Sync was turned on. But I open Firefox and everything is gone. Is there any way to restore this for iPadOS?

Whenever I click on the address bar in order to click on one of my bookmarks the page stays as if I want type a new website. The app will not let me click on any of my bookmarks. When tap anywhere on the screen (keyboard notwithstanding) it takes me page to the page I was already on. I have attached a screenshot of the page. This is what it looks like when I try to go to one of my bookmarks.

The latest update I am no longer able to easily navigate to bookmarks, commonly used sites, links that I already have open in another tab, my pinned homepage sites, or even my search engine in Private Tabs. I am assuming that this is suppose to (at least appear to) be more private, but having to type out each site name or open a bookmark in a normal tab and then copy and paste it into a private one, while certainly not the most difficult thing in the world, is quite a nuisance. Especially when I have been able to do this thing with ease before an update. At the very least it would be great if the option to click on one of my search engines still appeared when I start typing in Private Tabs.

Additionally, this update has stopped my ability to use Paypal when shopping. The Paypal login popup does not appear, and I’ve am navigated to a blank page when I try to use it as a payment option. This is not the first time it’s happened with an update, sometimes an update with (unintentionally?) restore or break this function. I’d like to be able to use a common payment method when using my browser.

Please restore the home button to the iOS app.

Finally, I am not sure how possible this one is so this is just a general request, but it would great if there were the ability to search through bookmarks on the iOS.

Thank you for your time she consideration.

The blue bar with the option to undo a tab close isn’t showing anymore, and it was really convenient when I accidentally swipe and delete a tab. Now I have to go back to my history and look for the tab I deleted, which is really annoying. Is there any way to bring it back?

Please please please add an option to automatically close inactive tabs on Firefox iOS. I do not want to do it manually, I do not want to think about the old tabs, I just want them gone from my iPhone browser.

(IOS) Am I having a stroke here or is something wrong? When I was on a webpage before and wanted to go to another website, I could click the marker in the browser line, delete the address and I could just click on my shortcuts from the main page. I don’t know if there has been an update or something but now I am no longer able to access the shortcuts directly!? Only if I open a new tab I can now access my shortcuts. Anyone else having issues?

Your latest update seems to have broken Firefox on my iPhone for me ☹️👎🏼 I now can’t access my Shortcuts or Bookmarks at all - they appear “shadowed” in the lower half of the screen but if I touch this area it flicks back to the last URL.

HOW DO I FIX THIS ???

something new is happening where I am opening up a webpage in Firefox to read an article, and my podcast that I'm listening to in the also open podcast app suddenly drops out and music starts playing from an ad on the website, even though I have not yet scrolled far enough down in the article to even see they had much less given it permission to play at me.

Blocking this kind of interference is why I have exclusively used Firefox as my web browser on iOS as well as on my laptop computers. I'm very disappointed to see this and hoping that someone will point out to me a simple change of settings that will keep this kind of random noise pollution at bay.

I want to make sure that no one can retrieve any of my information. Yes, it is bank account Social Security number and so forth so that we need to protect and I was wondering what advice you can give me as far as using this browser? also, do you have anything in place for students anything you offer for students? I would like to get a list of as I was student at American public university systems and I’m in legal studies there going into law.
