Firefox for iOS Support Forum

Recently, I’ve noticed that after the app hasn’t been used for a bit or the app is closed, when I go back it will show my tabs but they won’t show the URL - it’s just blank displaying the new tab screen and won’t load anything. It’ll show the name of the tab in the tab switcher but that’s it. Nothing comes up. This has become quite frustrating. I’m on the March 28th version of the app and iOS 16.3. If I click the back button (which does appear) it just does a little glitch.

When loading Roku dot com, Firefox 111.2 (29672) freezes the site. Menus of roku won't work and scrolling isn't limited and will eventually freeze for minutes. This happens on other sites too, not all. I tried desktop and also turned off enhanced protection to no avail. I complained on the Apple Review page and a developer responded saying to report it here.

Not crashing. Links wont work. Lot of blank pics. Working ok on safari

Ive been using firefox for years. Its like phone screen is dead. Tapping links just wont work

you didn't have my TOPIC so I will put it here.

I doNOT want Firefox on my iPhone 12 ios 16.4 to background app refresh! I donot have the it slide turned on either. The Firefox background app refresh is turned OFF! I am typing something using the Firefox Web browser and I go off of it to look something else on a different web browser,as I am already typing something on Firefox web browser. And go back to the Firefox browser where I am typing and it is GONE!!

So how do I get Firefox browser to stop refreshing? please help me, I donot know what to do.

I opened a large PDF on Firefox (among other tabs open) while checking insurance coverage. After scrolling through the PDF a bit and switching tabs, when I went back to the PDF tab, Firefox crashed. Now it opens to a white screen every time I try to open Firefox and crashes shortly afterward. I was hoping I could close tabs, or clear history, but cannot access anything. I’ve cleared all active apps and tried restarting the iPad a few times. I also tried updating the FF app. Is there any other way to get FF running again, or at leave, recover my bookmarks before I uninstall/reinstall?

Hi everyone,

yesterday I updated the Firefox app on my iPhone and since then it started to close on its own after a few seconds since I start to use it.

I am using an iPhone 13 and the Firefox version installed is 110.2. The behavior is the same as if I would close the app with a gesture (by swiping up the little bar at the bottom of the screen when the app is open). In fact the app is still running in the background, but won't stay open to use it.

Thanks for the support!

I’d like to start off by saying that I’ve been a Firefox user for you know probably a couple decades anyway. Today Mar7 whenever I clicked on the link in Apple Mail Firefox tried to launch the site and it crashed. I tried it multiple times, different emails, same result. I tried restarting, this is also on my iPad so it’s iOS only. (No problem on my desktop) and it just keeps crashing when I have tried turning my VPN off and turn it on and restarting in pretty much everything I know to do so like I deleted it which I really don’t wanna didn’t want to do but I didn’t see any other solution. so HELP

V 109 firefox focus. The app will freeze and the force the iPhone to restart. This started happening a few days ago after I updated to the latest version. IOS 16.2

Hi,

My apps are automatically updating so I cannot tell what triggered these crashes. But Firefox now crashes continuously, as soon as I start the app.

I am running an up to date iOS 15.6 on iPhone XS.

It is impossible to use Firefox on my iPhone, not even for one second.

I hope you can fix this.

I posted a review on the iOS market and received an email asking to post on this forum.

Firefox freezes several times an hour. It crashes every three hours. I installed the Adblock Pro extension (free version). Maybe it’s related but I have not noticed anything related to the extension. Safari doesn’t crash and uses the same extension.

The only point to use Firefox on iOS is the password manager and dark mode. Printing is inferior because it forces pagination.

I have a iPhone 13 running iOS 16.2. I have Firefox 108.1 running on it. Yesterday it starts to crash on launch. Can’t even get to troubleshooting. Immediately shuts down. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Tried turning off sync still crashes. Any ideas would be appreciated

It just. Keeps. Crashing. It won’t stop. And this started recently all of a sudden. It happens every time a new tab has opened. It doesn’t do this for private browsing tabs. I’m on iOS 16.1.2. I think I’m on the latest update of Firefox.

The issue has been reported here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/12053

I have Firefox as my default browser on iOS. However, tapping “search web” from the context menu that appears when text is selected, opens Safari instead of a new tab in Firefox. The only workaround is to tap “look up” from the context menu and tap “search web” in Siri, breaking up what earlier required a single step into two steps.
