I’ve been using Firefox synced to my account on my iPad for a while with no problems, and only started running into this problem today. The app for the most part works normally, but when I open specifically the history tab the whole app crashes. I can still use Firefox on my android and computer completely fine, and have tried clearing some of my history using my phone, to no avail. Only the history tab does this- downloads, bookmarks, and reading list are all fine. Any advice on how to fix this?

My mobile bookmarks have gone missing. I think the reason is that I bought a new iPad and transferred everything over to the new one automatically using the Apple transfer feature. My bookmarks made it over to the new iPad, but the mobile ones did not...and were then gone from my old iPad as well.

One clue: on the new iPad, the folder at the top is now called 'desktop bookmarks.' Anyway, all of the advice about mobile bookmarks on this site entails navigating to the profile on a desktop for a prior version...which is not possible on an iPad. Help getting the bookmarks back would be most welcome!

So this would be a question about a situation that I have been involved with before and any attempt at finding a reasonable solution that would help resolve this dilemma has been quite difficult to find. And so, I will paint a portrait of the scenario:

So hypothetically, let's assume that <User> has Two-step Authentication activated on Mozilla Firefox and is on a weekend excursion of the Mighty Mississippi River and so happens to lose that phone to the surging undercurrents and a tumultuous exodus to those murky depths, but On Top of This Person's Game, quickly attains a new phone (yet in a moment of rushed deliberation and penchant to make some minor miscalculations (to spice things up, of course) couldn't keep the old phone number.

And so, in the course of updating the newer phone version and the number on numerous sites and has arrived at finally updating Mozilla Firefox account, which asks to Two-step Authenticate by sending the code to the bottom of the Mississippi River (or some bull shark's belly (who is most likely very confused about why his lunch is buzzing and starts to be concerned about his own gut health issues).

And so, the Issue at hand is, how does one get thru the Two-step process, which only seems extremely eclectic about sending codes to that ex-phone instead of paying attention to this newer, younger phone version.

Thanks in advance, - Lost in a River

Dears,

Since a week of 2 Firefox freezes when I type text in the address bar. After some time the text I typed start appearing. Also websites loading are sometimes freezing. Switching to another app on the iPad makes Firefox unfreeze. However need to use the reload function. Version Firefox 106.2 (21661) iPad Pro (11-inch) iOS 15.7 I removed Firefox, rebooted the iPad and reinstalled Firefox. That shortly seem to help, but now same issues apparent.

Thanks and best regards,

Jelle Klaas

this happened only on my m1 iPad. firefox on my iPhone doesn't have this problem. 1.suddenly freezes up. need to relaunch the app. 2.sometimes lags and stutters when scrolling, switch tabs, and open settings. 3.sometimes it outright crashes after a very bad stuttering. this happened even when i only have couple of tabs opening.

i had tried everything i can think of with no success. 1.clear all browsing data. 2.delete and redownload the app(+delete firefox's folder in files app). 3.update iOS(both security patches and to next version).

the only thing i haven't tried is too factory reset the iPad. which i hope to avoid.

I am regularly getting crashes on Firefox When browsing using my iPhone 12 mini running on iOS 16. As soon as there is any sort of ‘heavier’ task, such as loading a PDF or browsing an online news site with loads of ads, the whole browser just freezes up and I can’t do anything unless I force close the browser via the multitasker.

It is happening multiple times per day.

What information can I provide to you to help troubleshoot this issue?

After a Firefox update the app stopped working. It crashes all the time when being open.

Firefox asks if I want to restore tabs, but no matter the answer it always crashes. I did reinstall the app on the phone - did not help.

Here is the video of two consecutive crashes: https://youtube.com/shorts/lHyN8Lq1GBY

After the most recent update to version 106.1 on my iPhone 11 iOS 15.6.1, every time I open Firefox and open a new tab the browser is unresponsive for several seconds, then slowly registers my input in the search bar, and occasionally crashes during that process. It also hangs up and crashes at random. It will no longer open links to PDF files. I love Firefox, but this is becoming unusable.

I have an iPhone 12 mini which does FaceID and does not have a fingerprint touch pad.

Firefox for iOS now is asking for fingerprint to access my passwords or my access code--but this phone has not fingerprint option. How can I get it to acept faceID instead? Why does it not *KNOW* to ask for FaceID or offer that as an option?

This is new behavior since....maybe iOS16 update?

Attempted to scroll through a folder of bookmarks (Firefox for iOS on an older iPad Pro that’s been fully updated to iOS 16.1). About halfway through the scroll, the app shuts down. Upon restart, it restores tabs, but also apparently clears cache, forcing me to re-login to accounts.

Whenever i use Firefox on my iPad, if I switch to another app and then back to Firefox, Firefox will automatically open up a new tab. I’d like it to stop, and just go to what I set it as in Preferences, or to what I’ve left open when I switched away from it. I’ve looked in Preferences and cannot find out how to stop it from opening new blank tabs by default.

Is there a way to stop it from doing this?
