Firefox is near unusable after iOS 26 update. The UI is gigantic and obscures the browser window.

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. … (read more)

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!

1週間ほど前にFirefoxがアップデートされたのか、インターフェースの見た目が変わりました。 それ以降、検索バーに文字を入力すると、入力中のテキストの背景に濃いグレーの色が表示されるようになり、文字(黒)が非常に見づらくなって困っています。

この背景色の変更は、Firefoxの設定で元に戻したり、調整したりすることは可能でしょうか? あるいは、ユーザースタイルシートなどを使う必要があるのでしょうか。

使用環境: ・Firefox バージョン:139.2 ・OS:iOS 18.5

検索するたびにすごくストレスなので、アドバイスいただけますと幸いです。ただ複雑な設定などは自分には対応できそうにないので、解決できなそうならブラウザを変更するしかないと思っています。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

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。

Why does Firefox mobile for iOS look different on my iPhone 13 pro max vs my wife's iPhone 12 pro max? both UTD on iOS version. I suspect that I must be missing something in settings, but cannot figure this out. See images below.

On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Firefox app has the nice home button, tab button, and hamburger menu button on the bottom (address bar on top both cases). On my wife's iPhone 12 Pro Max, it has the "+" for new tab, the 3 dots instead of hamburger menu, and then the tab button. I much prefer the layout on my phone, as does my wife, but I cannot figure out how to change her layout to match mine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

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

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 little square used to pop up when I clicked on the searchbar on my iPhone, but it seems to have stopped doing this with the latest release. Can anyone please help me find it, or if it has gone, then please confirm to me?

I can still open QR codes by opening the Camera App first, but the Firefox QR code reader was always easier to use, and I just like it more!

New UI in Firefox v140 reverted to old after a few hours

After years of hoping for a dedicated new tab button in Firefox for iOS, my wishes were answered this morning when I installed the Firefox 140.2 on iOS. As explained in the release notes, there is "a sleeker, more intuitive Toolbar and Tab Tray — with smoother animations, simplified controls, and a modern look that feels right at home on iOS." What's more, it replaced the (IMO) useless "home" button with a BEAUTIFUL one-tap new tab button! I was overjoyed!

However, a few hours later, my Firefox UI has reverted back to the old way. It still claims to be on version 140.2, so I don't understand how that happened. As far as I can tell, there are no options within settings to get the new UI.

What happened, and how can I take advantage of the new UI?
