Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Hi.

I like to switch tabs in the iOS app with some gesture. Is that possible?

The only thing I found in the documentation is that some keybinding exists, but I do not have a keyboard attached to my phone.

I also found some old request and some Reddit posts that swiping the address bar would do the trick. This did not work for me.

I am hoping for something like a three finger swipe anywhere, but have not spent much thought on a perfect UI integration.

I love to learn how to make switching TABs by gesture work.

Thank you for your work! Oliver

When the syten Theme switches between darg and light mode, the keyboard color does not switch. Only when force-quitting the app the color is correct at next start.

Hello there - I am very keen in your new translation tool. I am looking at a web page written in German (but the estensione is .at for Austria) but at the bottom of the page I do not see the translation icon. When I go to the Settings page I do not see the line TRANSLATION - just under TOOLBAR. I have version 146.0 of your app. I’d appreciate any help.

Firefox is my favorite Browser because I have been able to customize it tremendously so that things do not buzz and blink and pop up at me, nothing flashes, nothing makes noise unless I deliberately permit it. today I caught Firefox for mobile permitting a video to auto play. I opened a webpage to read an article and suddenly realized that my podcast (from a different app) had been interrupted and now sound was coming from this page (clear from the content of the sound). I literally had not even seen the video in question as part of the page because I had not scrolled down far enough to where it was playing already. And when I had the lock screen on, clicking pause did not stop the video. So Video was playing without my permission, and was ignoring the usual rules of iOS.

I certainly had not clicked on the video or seen any setting that allowed the website to autoplay videos.

And this is not the first time it has happened, but it is the first time that I am positive that I did not do anything to permit this behavior, and that it had to have been the browser automatically playing something on the page. I verified that the same website does not auto play video in Safari. This is a bug in Firefox Browser for iOS .... unless there is some new setting in an updated version of the browser that says 'please bombard me with autoplay at times" which by default was switched on in a recent update.

With the Firefox version before 146.0, macOS Tahoe 26.1 would grab 2FA 6-digit codes from either Messages or Mail, as appropriate, and populate the 2FA field on a website. With FF 146.0 this no longer works. Not a fatal problem but an annoying loss of a convenient function.

iOS Firefox needs to maintain bookmarks hierarchy state (i.e. keep bookmark folders collapsed or revealed based upon users’ preference) when organizing bookmarks. Like many other Firefox users, I have a lot of organized bookmarks. And, when iOS Firefox opens my complete bookmark hierarchy, it’s a pain in the butt to locate folders in which I want a new bookmark to be placed. If iOS Firefox could maintain my bookmark hierarchy state (like Firefox desktop), I could organize bookmarks so much more easily & efficiently. Incidentally, I submitted this idea several years ago and never received any feedback or action.
