Firefox for iOS Support Forum

Hello, I don't know if I'm missing this but I cannot find any way to search within bookmarks on the iOS versions of Firefox. I use sync to get my desktop bookmarks on the iOS browsers. However when I need to use one of my lesser used links it is impossible to find and I either have to search the web or go onto my desktop. In this respect the browser is very difficult to use.

Is there a search function? If not is one likely to be added?

Thanks.

As per the title, if I click on address in iMessage on my iPhone 12 (vers. 14.3), it will open Firefox app (vers. 30) and Firefox will infinitely open up new tabs with an Apple maps URL (Apple maps is uninstalled). I have to minimise Firefox to stop it, and then spend a few minutes closing tabs.

Seems like a bug?

Since installing v31.0 I have been getting extra tabs opening with most searches performed from the top bar and from clicking links in loaded pages.

When an extra tab opens from a new search, the results load in the new tab and the tab where I entered the search sits with the progress bar at about 25% and never loads.

When an extra tab opens after clicking a link, the page loads in the second tab and the first tab does not open contents of the link.

I have uninstalled three time, restarting in between, an beyond that I don’t know what else to try to stop this behaviour. Below is a shot, I entered the search in the tab which shows the progress bar as loading, nothing ever completes. The third tab shown has the search results and opens as soon as I hit enter on the empty tab.

I’ve been using Firefox on both my iPhone and iPad, but suddenly, whenever I open it on the iPad it immediately closes. It has no problem on the iPhone.

I’ve uninstalled it an reinstalled it, and after I’ve logged back in, it crashes immediately.

I noticed that when I use the keyboard on my ipad pro (3rd gen with ipadOs 14.3) firefox opens two tabs when pressing on Command+T and sometimes when selecting a link and opening in a new tab.

I tried uninstalling firefox and installing it again but I still have the same issue. Does someone else have the same problem or is it my keyboard/ipad only? Safari doesn’t seem to have this issue.

I have some trouble using Firefox with my iPad and the Magic Keyboard and don't seem to be the only one: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/kmntpo/extra_tabs_opening_constantly_on_ipad/ghrcbs1/

"I have been experiencing an issue on iPad where new empty tabs open up all the time. My iPad is connected to the magic keyboard, and when I open a new tab using cmd-T it open two new tabs instead. When I click links it often opens up new blank tabs. When I conduct searches using the omni search bar it will often open a new tab and conduct the actual search there."

It is exactly the same issue I have. It persists since I use the Magic Keyboard (November 2020) but not, if I use Google Chrome or Safari.

Google has interfered with my photos when I chose Firefox as my default browser. On my ipadmini4 I can’t even use Safari....it goes straight to google! I’m getting ads that won’t go away or return immediately if they do. How can I get Firefox as my default browser without this constant interference?

Hi, firefox 33 for iOS. Suddenly the Google page translator shows up on some pages and I have no setting on iOS to disable or at least change the Google page translator. How do I get rid of the google page translator bar on top? I have deliberately not installed anything. Thanks!

I have seen this mentioned in 1276222 and 1268881. The first says one person has this problem, the other says two. I am here to add myself to those counts (except I can't figure out how to do that, probably because they are archived).

I spend a lot of time on the Motley Fool discussion boards, very old code. I always start at the same page, https://boards.fool.com/FavoriteBoards.asp?sortby=date. I have 119 "Favorite" boards, and that displays the most recently active boards at the top. On my phone I see less than four "lines" because on my phone screen the wide line wraps around. If I am scrolled down to the 20th entry, that is over five screens to get there.

I click on a board, read it, and hit Back. With the Windows version of Firefox the Back takes me to exactly where I left off. The iOS version USED take me Back to where I left off, but for a while (weeks?) has instead put me back at the top. On my small phone screen that can mean again scrolling down those five screens, and it can be more than that. Often I go Back after no more than ten seconds on the page I opened, and I'm scrolling down and down and down again to get were I was.

It is driving me nuts.

I have attached a screen shot showing four entries, items eight to eleven out of sixteen. That turns out to be three full screens down from the top, though getting there requires more scroll motions that that because my finger reach is less than the max available.

Hello,

When I want to download a document on my firefox ios browser, i have to download the link and then the document. But then, i can’t share it to my apple file’s app.

What can I do ?

Im in shock. I have a lot of Favorites webpages in my BAR and it all have disappeared with an Firfox upgrade. Also with all my saved users and paswards. I amb totally disapointed and i want you to ask for help.

Thank you.

I can’t close tabs by clicking/touching/pressing the ’x’ on the right of the tab header. It only works very randomly. I have to press the number of tabs square to get the tabs overview, there I can close the tab(s) I want.

Different web pages are displaying pictures in a negative image. Even color headings. Sometimes it is the whole page and other times it is just a few pictures. Not doing this on the same site with safari.

The question basically describes it well. But the thing is this circle is not clickable. Nothing happens when I click, I guess its some sort of indicator or something. Only once when I clicked it, it filled blue and I clicked again and it was back and I could repeat it. But it didn’t seem to do anything. What is this for?

With the most recent update, I’m finding the tabs too small to be useful on my iPad. They were always small, but previous versions did a better job of limiting the number of them showing so I could at least have a shot at recognizing what they are. I now have 12 tabs showing in landscape orientation and there isn’t enough room for any of them to display identifying information. I can’t find how to adjust the number of tabs or the size of them. Can someone let me know the trick? Thanks.

hello, since the last firefox update the shortcut in the personal bar "send to another device" has disappeared on desktop version? can someone help me? thank you ;)
