Firefox for iOS Community Forum

After the last update the inactive tab function no longer exists on mobile for me. It has been more than 14 days of me not opening tabs and they are still there. Others I know who use firefox still have it though. The inactive tab system was very useful to me, is there a way I can turn it back on?

Hello everyone!

When I click on a PDF file download link, it opens in a web page with the address starting with "blob:" and I can't download it. The file also doesn’t appear in my Downloads folder.

I’m on iPhone 13 Pro with IOS version 18.5. The version about Firefox is 142.1 (60552)

Do you have any idea why this is happening? Have a Nice day 🌞

Tabs used to be in the Settings of Firefox on mobile, but now I can't seem to find it. I really just want to enable the option to hide inactive threads and it's been a bit cumbersome not having that feature when I always had it before this update.

Hello,

I believe that the latest update either has a bug or a new feature that I don’t like. In the past when I went to the homescreen from a search or a website and closed and reopened the browser then it was still in the homescreen. However now when I do the same it always opens the latest search or website that I was in. I would like to have a setting to turn this off unless I missed the setting for it. I would like to add a video of me demonstrating this but for some reason you only have option to add pictures.

Kind regards, Simo

Wow, I have asked this question at least 10 times now. I'm hoping this time I'll get an answer. Since last week, for some reason i all of a sudden can no longer log into my hotmail and outlook accounts. When i click on "hotmail sign in" located in my book marks, the log in page will not come up. The page seems to flash several times and then i get an emblem telling me "I cannot long in. Try again later". This has been happening for several days now. The only way i can check my email is either from my iPhone or a different browser than Firefox. Why won't Firefox allow me to log in?

On Firefox browser for iPhone, version 142.1, when I click on a link to a PDF the browser use to open the PDF in a new tab where I could view it and download it, if I wanted. Now when I click on a link to a PDF the browser opens a new window and a dialogue pops up at the bottom of the screen with the name of the PDF and a button that says “Download”(see attached photo #1). The PDF does not load for viewing. If I close the dialogue box, the page remains blank and I have to close the tab. If I select “Download” a file is downloaded to my Firefox downloads folder (see attached photo #2) but the file doesn’t load anything for viewing on Firefox (see attached photo #3) or any other PDF viewing app I have on my device (which includes Adobe, Documents, Dropbox, & more). I have gone through all of the settings on the Firefox app and my device and I have nothing related to PDFs. I would like for the app to treat PDFs like it did before, open them in a new tab for viewing with the option to save/download to my device. How can I make this work?

My Firefox on iPhone has a malware that pops up a box urging me to call a phone number (which I won’t do) about a payment. It has Cancel and Ok buttons, both of which trigger another box from the dialer containing the same phone number. I cannot get to the FF settings or escape from that page because the pop ups immediately come back and reload the page. The site looks like appleinstantsupportpays[.]z13[.]web[.]core[.]windows[.]net. All of the online advice relates to FF on Windows or Android. How do I clear the malware from my phone?
