I'm trying to determine if this is something happening in the browser itself or some terrible function of certain websites, but several times recently while using Firefox, webpages regularly refresh themselves. Is this supposed to be happening, and how do I make it stop? I'm on iOS Firefox 117.3 (34056).

Why is there no bookmarks toolbar for Firefox IOS? This makes the program useless to me. Is there any way to create and see bookmarks? None of the answers in the forums are of any help. What you tell me I should see I don’t see.

I’ve used Firefox for years because I support non-corporate efforts like this, but the lack of quick access to create and use bookmarks is a deal-breaker for me.

Hi, my Firefox on my iPhone was updated on the latest version (116.0), and upon opening it after the update, I realized all of my open tabs were completely gone! This includes the private browsing tabs, which typically persisted from opening to opening of Firefox. Every tab, both normal and private browsing, is now gone. How can I restore them? I've *never* had any issues with any prior Firefox iOS update before!

This is critical to me; thank you for your help in any way, whether that be it through my synced account (which also lost the open tabs, from what I can see) and/or anything else.

I have been using Firefox for years with no problem but over the past 2 weeks it has been driving me absolutely crazy. I made absolutely no changes to the settings but every day it is logging me out of LinkedIn, Gmail, etc etc...sites that I use all the time. Totally annoying. Was this the result of some update? And more importantly, how can I fix it? Thanks!

I'm using Firefox to access academic papers and online books. Because most of this content requires a subscription, I usually visit these web pages through my University library site. However, its not letting me open the destination file. e.g. I can open https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21670811.2018.1533788?journalCode=rdij20 but not the full article. To open the full article I need to be logged in through my institution's library.

I have changed my proxy settings to 'no proxy' - can you please suggest what else I can do?

It normally works fine on other computers.

Thanks, Claire

I recently changed my password on a gmail account, and tried to change my password in settings on my iphone. When in the settings for email, I was not able to directly enter the new password in the "re-enter password" field, but instead I got the message that the "settings" wants to use google.com to sign in. Apparently the only option is to "continue" and when I do so, it says Google can't sign me in because my browser (firefox) does not support JavaScript or has it turned off. How do I turn on JavaScript or otherwise circumvent this problem? I have not found another way to get my password updated on my iphone. I tried changing my default browser to Safari to see if I could get it to work but that did not help. i have used firefox for years on my iphone with no gmail problems.

Until today, Fire Fox on my iPad has reliably interacted with the iOS password repository to auto fill passwords for web sites. Now it presents the prompt to use a saved password but it never goes and retrieves it. It leaves the login and password fields blank. I’m using Firefox 116.2 (33536) and iPadOS 16.6.

It has also stopped working on my iPhone.

I work with older model routers that use older TLS 1.0/1.1 on the weekly basis at various sites.

For the past few years, Firefox iOS could not view my router login page after log in. But with the current patch on iOS 16, I can finally view the page on my iPhone instead of finding a laptop with Firefox on PC and change the about:config TLS to the obsolete version in order to view this page.

Thank you for the changes. It saves me some headaches when I have to go to different sites to inspect older version of the router login page.
