Hello!

I have been using firefox for maybe two years now. You ought to understand that by now my internet-life is pretty much safely tucked into that browser. However I cant fully get into the iOS counterpart, as only recently I’ve purchased an iPhone for the first time, for the following reasons:

-I need a toggle to adjust website text size. Not sure if I have missed it or it is just not implemented in the browser? Safari has this right into the toolbar. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Lol

-Tab groups are too good in Safari! To my knowledge, iOS firefox does not have this. Right?

-Dark reader extension doesn’t work on Firefox and the built-in night mode is hit or miss

Thanks for any insight or tips!

[v. 120.3 on iOS 17.1.2]

When I click on a web link in Messages/Mail/etc, I usually (but not always!) get the link opened in a Private Browsing tab. (FF is my default browser.) I do not want links to open in PB tabs. I don't see any option to set this default behavior. How do I get all links to open in non-PB tabs?

Firefox for iOS keeps opening new tabs whenever I leave the app to check another app and return. It does this even when they’re already are open tabs. It’s very annoying to constantly have to deal with all these new tabs every time and it’s enough to make me switch back to Safari. Any way to stop this?

Every time I close fire Firefox and reopen it, every tab has been automatically signed out. This is quite annoying as I then have to manually (because the usernames didn’t save,) sign in again.

I have also updated the app to the latest version. Every website/page is effected by the auto signing out.

There are other bugs that I have found but this on is the most important at the moment.

I have been unable to download PDFs using Firefox for the past six months. Every time I try, I immediately get the download "failed" message. I noticed that under "Settings">"General">"Files and Applications," the "Save files to" field is blank, and selecting the "Choose" button generates no listing. It doesn't matter whether the "Always ask you where to save files" is checked or unchecked. Can you help with this problem?

None of the topics really had anything to do about my issue so I just picked one.

Anyway, I want to always run the browser on my iPhone in dark mode but for a couple of month now it keeps resetting to light and most of the times I need to switch of the manual selection and back again to make it work.

I have had this issue before and after upgrading to iOS 10 and both on my old iPhone 12 min (RIP) and my new iPhone 15.

I have reinstalled the app multiple times to no avail.

I have made a screen recording that I hopefully managed to link to.

Please help.

Sincerely, Erik
