Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Hiya, The latest firefox update for iOS 26 on mobile added a new feature, or at least a new prompt for an existing feature, with moving the address bar to either the top or the bottom, however this does not appear to apply to the sideways view option, and the address bar is only at the top regardless of which setting is used. Is this a bug?

Also it appears that the auto-hide behaviour takes more scrolling before it engages. Is there a setting to adjust this? If not I would like to request a setting to adjust this on mobile be added as I would prefer it be almost instant in both hide and unhide if possible. Many thanks!

For some unknown reason, you guys decided to remove the “home” button from the Firefox browser app for IOS. I have been using a home button on my browsers for over 30 years now and by removing it you have rendered the Firefox browser unusable to me. Why try to fix something that wasn’t broken? I shouldn’t have to open a new tab every single time I want to go to my home page! Who thought this was a good idea? Just so you know, I will most likely be looking for an alternative browser to replace Firefox if this is going to be a permanent thing.

When I am using Firefox for iOS, and I click on any text input, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. This bar contains nothing apart from ‘↑ ↓ Done’ on the right. This bar is really annoying and moves the page around irritatingly.

If I click ‘Done’ it will temporarily remove the bar until I click on a text input again, and it will appear again.

I would like to know if this is something to do with Firefox or the device iOS settings.

This thread from apple discussions has the same problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255143785?sortBy=rank

A screenshot is attached.

My iOS app just updated with a new ui for the mobile settings menu. It'll take me some time to get used to this, but I'm not opposed to it. However, it also changed the order of the icons in the bottom toolbar so that tabs view is the fifth icon rather than the fourth, and the menu icon has been switched vice-versa. This has caused my muscle memory of using the app to repeatedly tap the wrong icon, which has turned my usage of the app incredibly sloggish. If Mozilla wants to change the default ordering of these icons, I don't care that much, but surely it seems prudent to give the end user an option to change the order back to the previously established pattern? Having the menu icon in the bottom-right-most location on screen feels the most natural to me.

Please allow the Mozilla iOS Firefox to be a light (white background/black type) on iPhones. It is hard to read white type on a black background. The iPhone Settings for page display and brightness allow the user to set pages as light or dark. But the new Firefox changes prevent the Private Tab from being viewed as light. This almost a browser game changer for me.

Is there the ability to highlight the open tab on the tab bar above the browser in a different colour this would help as well identify which tab we are working on for example if I am on Firefox, the tab above is highlighted in for example yellow so I’m aware that this is the open tap thank you

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

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.

I can't believe how frustrated I feel over how much time I waste in Firefox for iOS just trying to get back to my Homepage. The HOME button is gone. I cannot find a way to bring it back. I hate the Jump Back feature. How do I get the HOME button back?

Is there any way to make the keyboard smaller so I can actually, you know, use the browser? I can't really see what I'm doing. It's like I'm looking through a peephole.

Firefox v150.0.1 IOS remove the dense black numbers beside every menu drop-down options - history, bookmarke, tools ETC should be an option to not show the numbers.

Especially bad when there are lots of drop-down menu options - EG in BOOKMARKS

It is not useful. Remove or give an option for users to remove.

I can't include an image of this because the numbers go away when I press any key

I mistakenly updated after who knows how long and I can’t take the way it looks now. Now it looks like the first two images but I need it to go back to how it looked in the third image. There has to be a way to fix it, it behaves and looks all wrong now. Please please help me change it

自分はiPadでFirefoxを使用しています。以前は常時画面左上にホームページに飛べるボタン（事前に設定したURLに飛べる家の形をしたボタン）があり、大変快適だったのですが、最近のアップデートによってUIが変更され、そのボタンが消えてしまいました。これによってかなりこのアプリは不便になり困っています。また、常時画面右上にあったブックマークしたリンクが並べてあるところにアクセスできる星型のボタンも消えてしまいました。これは運営が意図した変更なのでしょうか？他のユーザーもこの変更には困っていると思います。もしよろしければ、以前のようなUIに戻していただきたいです。また、これは要望になりますが、ブックマークしたリンクが並んでいるタブを開いてブックマークしたURLにアクセスしたときに、それを押してもそのブックマークタブが画面から一旦消えることなく恒常的に画面に表示されるようにしていただきたいです。そして、sprit viewを使用しているときにブックマークタブからブックマークしたURLに飛ぶとき、一旦そのブックマークタブを閉じないとサイトをスワイプしたりタップすることができなくなるような仕様にはしないでいただきたいです。常にブックマークタブが画面のどこかに表示され、常に画面に出して置けるようにUIを改善していただきたいです。よろしくお願いします。

Three horizontal line menu bar is missing. All I have on top are three dots. … Home icon is also missing. Can’t find any way to fix this. Deleted the app reinstalled and still have the same problem.

I have an older iPhone and I run Firefox. You must have updated it because the homepage “house” icon in the bottom bar has disappeared. Settings still has the preferred homepage URL but there is no icon. This is unacceptable!!

Hello,

I am now using firefox widgets and I'd like to know if there's an option to change the background color. They are now dark grey and I would love to be able to costumize them, and choose the color so it goes well with my background and is more visually pleasing to see and use :)

Thank you for your help ! xx

My Firefox automatically updated and the new version is not suited for me. The change of the buttons and the inactive tabs opening was bad. Now my tabs feel too full and messy, but the inactive tabs made it so I didn’t lose anything. Overall the update changed too much and I don’t like it.

I don’t seem to be able to add a Home Button within the Browser since it updated to the latest version. This is very frustrating as it gets used all the time. Please explain how I can add a home button.

Kind regards

Wayne
