Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I used sync to load bookmarks and passwords on my iPad from my Mac Firefox installation. I then turned off sync on both devices, but the iPad keeps notifying me that it has connected to sync. I logged into my Mozilla account on both the Mac and the iPad, went to connected services, and clicked sign out next to the device name. This just loops me back to an account signin page, and when I work my way back to connected services it still show the device as connected. Also, the connection is showing “Firefox 137, macOS 10.15” for a Mac Mini running Sequoia. There have been other problems with switching to Firefox on my iPhone and iPad, too, with bookmarks (destinations for bookmarks don’t match up, so they are hard to access), and with passwords (on an iPad running iPadOS 17, I needed to shut off use of Apple passwords and use Firefox saved passwords but could find no way to do it). I know that Apple has restricted Mozilla’s ability to program Firefox for iOS, but I’m wondering if it’s wise to offer a version so crippled—compared to versions for not only macOS, Linux, and (I assume)Windows—that many of Firefox’s good features are compromised.

I tried looking up a few things in the FAQ for (Firefox for IOS,)… updates… but unfortunately, it WILL NOT SHOW ME any of those articles (I think it C showed 4 articles the article.

The below image is supposed to be a page to help me change my email for “Cash App”.

I have been using an Android & it comes up as 3 separate phones. (One for when I use Samsung Internet & one for when I’m using chrome/google..?????)

I don’t know what’s going on, but someone is either hacking my emails through Google or through my phone #. My Google maps doesn’t even go on the roads I walk or drive on. It shows be cutting across fields & driving over or through buildings. Not just when I’m in my car, but anywhere I go & with whomever.

Hi all, thanks for volunteering your expertise here. FireFox doesn't allow me to open my printer's configuration home page on my local IP4 network. I failed to find where to add a possible exception for such an address. Error message contains: "This web site might not support the TLS 1.2 protocol, which is the minimum version supported by Firefox."

I don't think my printer/scanner is a significant security risk to me.

Any solutions, other than replacing a perfectly fine printer?

Cheers, Hans

So as of this week from out of the blue, like I'm watching something or reading and Firefox will download random files. I don't dare to click on them, what are they and can I make Firefox stop downloading these?

Hi, all!

I bought a second MacBook. I am clearly logged in to Firefox on both laptops and my iPhone. I can share tabs between all three. I can access history between all three. However, Bookmarks on MacBook #2 are not updating with what I add to MB #1 or my phone. MacBook #2 is my business laptop, and the more important of the two. When I first got it, Bookmarks synced, but somehow stopped.

AND! Mozilla's instructions to pair/sync are inaccurate. There is no "Sync and save data" to tap on in iOS, and no matter where I look in iOS Firefox Settings, I see no way to scan the QR code. None of the Help pages I've seen have different or better info.

Thanks for your time and suggestions. John

I can X one of them closed, but they both come back when I close a website after viewing. Is there something I can do in settings to fix this? It's a recent thing that I must have changed accidentally. Thank you.

Using iOS 18: recently when I type in a search (which I know has always been processed by Google), I get bounced into the google browser (I hate its UI) with the results listed there, & out of my Firefox which has my favorite tools etc & I’m used to. I don’t find a setting that could block this new behavior. Thank u for all ideas

A couple of weeks ago, following the last iOS update, my Firefox browser will not stay open long enough to use it. It keeps reverting to the home screen. I have had to remove it as my default iPhone 15 Pro browser because it won't work. The bulk of my passwords are stored in Firefox, and not my phone password, so I can no longer use certain sites without changing all my passwords to get new ones when I don't have access to my desktop.

I also have an iPad Mini, latest version, with iPadOS 18.3.2 installed. My passwords suddenly stopped working.

So I have two devices I carry at all times. I can't access my iPhone browser, so no passwords, and my iPad browser works, and it can't access passwords either.

I am hoping to avoid deleting and re-installing, so I don't lose my browser history, but I don't know what else to do.

Thanks!
