Firefox for iOS Community Forum

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.

Hello, Recently when I try to open the tabs page on iOS 26 the webpages do not show up and when I scroll up they are below the bottom of the screen.

Also when I previously would click on the address bar I would be able to click on a pinned website and it is greyed out and sends me back to the same website instead of the pinned website I clicked on.

This has made the experience more difficult and I have had a great experience in the past with your browser. I know that Apple is very limiting with web browser but if you could address this I would appreciate it.

Thank you, Cameron

I am inquiring about the Reading List feature in the iOS version of Firefox. It is a feature I find useful in other web browsers, and currently the only thing holding me back from using Firefox on my mobile device. It appears this feature did exist at one time but has since been removed. Mozilla still provides documentation of this feature even though it no longer appears to exist in the latest version.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-web-pages-your-reading-list-firefox-ios (I submitted feedback on this article that it no longer seems to be applicable.)

I personally do not have a need for a synchronized reading list between numerous devices. Can Mozilla support provide any insight as far as whether the Reading List will be restored in a future update?

Hello,

I use Firefox 145.1 (64317) on an iPad with iPadOS 26.1 (so everything on the latest and greatest).

In "normal" browsing mode, when I enter some text into the search bar, Firefox is suggesting bookmarks matching that text - this is fine and the desired behavior.

In private browsing mode, this does not work (anymore? I think it worked some releases ago). In private mode, I can only access my bookmarks via "3 dots" >> Bookmarks, which is way less comfortable.

Wish: please bring back the bookmark suggestions also in private mode. And also PLEASE PLEASE allow to disable the dark mode in private mode.

Thank you ... Frank

Since yesterday when I log into hotmail I get an ad for 365 and has another login and do that and same thing over and over. Today, not only hotmal, but now gmail giving me an ad for gmail when I log in. Sometimes a quick peak at my account before it goes to the ad. Same thing, log in again over and over and get the ad.

I don't have this problem on other browsers but hate using other browsers. I can't log into yahoo as I have landline and need to get into hotmail to get code for yahoo, so don't know if that problem with yahoo.

I have other accounts that is not a problem to get into, just the mail email providers that most people use. I've cleared history, etc. several times, force quit firefox and restarted computer.

Please fix this problem.

Hi This issue started today. When I’m in Firefox on my iphone14 and go to the search line my shortcuts and bookmarks, etc are now in the background. How can I bring everything back so that it’s all accessible when I use the search line?

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 ???

I have repeatedly clicked "I have this problem, too" but the item still says "0 have this problem". See the attached screenshot.

(and yes, I have both refreshed the ticket and logged-out and logged back in)

This appears to be an issue with using Firefox 145.0 on Windows as it worked as expected when using Chrome on the same computer...........

Firefox on iOS has always let users go to their defined shortcuts by clicking on the Address Bar and then selecting the desired Shortcut. With 145.1, this is broken. Now when clicking on the Address Bar, the Shortcuts are shown but the user can't pick any and can only enter a search with their selected search engine. See attached photo.

Please fix.

The latest iOS update seems to have messed with the Reading List function. I can no longer figure out how to add pages to my reading list or enter reading mode for articles.

Pages already in my reading list will open in reading mode and still have the “add to reading list” icon available, but if I exit reading mode I lose the ability to add it to my reading list or go back into reading mode. I also cannot enter reading mode or add new pages to my reading list from any new pages.

Before the current Version of Firefox for iOS one could insert a search item in the address field of the browser and tap Enter and the search quiry was being directly sent to the default search engine and indemediately the search result appeared. But now after hitting Enter the webpage of the search engine appears, i.e. Startpage, and I have to hit Enter again before getting the search results. Is this a bug or an annoying feature?
