Firefox for iOS Community Forum

The search bar suggestions keeps suggesting me to go to Reddit.com with triple ‘d’. This redirects me to all kinds of malicious websites. It happens when I make a typo and put “reddd+enter” instead of “redd+enter”.

I would like to block this website from loading or from being suggested in my search bar.

This is a security risk for popular websites that people rely on your autocomplete to access.

Thanks for your help.

Recently updated firefox on my iPhone and the tab page has changed. I don't like the new layout, is there any way of changing back. Finding it confusing that the page title is now at the bottom of the thumbnail and not enclosed with it.

Hi

The latest FireFox mobile app on the latest ios does not synch bookmarks anymore. The sync is ON, on all of my devices and also on my desktop computer and the bookmarks sync is turned on where I've installed FireFox. In the past, when I used to bookmark a page on any of my mobile devices, it created a folder called Mobile Bookmarks and added the bookmarks to this folder, then on my desktop, in the bookmark manager, I'd copy them from Mobile Bookmarks folder to the Bookmark Menu folder and the Mobile Bookmarks folder would automatically disappear once it was emptied out.

As of the latest update, the bookmarks on my ios devices just get dumped into the FireFox blank tab workspace. Is this supposed to be a new intended bad design or mishap or annoying feature just creating more work for us?

Also, the Home button at the top of the page, next to the URL bar, has disappeared and it was a major convenience because instead of closing a tab and reopening a new one, I could just press the home button to clear the current tab and start anew. I guess another bad redesign where a developer or ui/ux designer thought it was a useless feature? It was a very useful feature and I see tons of requests on your website to put it back.

Thanks

For the last two days, I have not been able to clear caches. Because the privacy and security icon is missing. There’s a privacy notice there. When I click it, there’s no area for me to clear cachets.

Please advise

How can I stop my tablet from opening a new tab every time I switch to Firefox? It’s the worst when I’m trying to get information quickly into another app. I’ve looked through all of the settings and it’s not there. I’ve tried typing about:config and it does nothing except show the new tab window.

Someone please help. I’ve seen an answer from a question about a decade ago but things have changed now and there is no “options” if that’s the next suggestion. All I see is Settings now, and no options to change this in there either. This should be obvious right?

I am unable to load Newsmax - I get the message: "Secure Connection Failed

The connection to www.newsmax.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

It loads fine in Safari - maybe I should use that as my default browser.

I’ve added Kagi as a custom search engine to Firefox for iOS. It works for about a day when searching in the address bar, but always reverts to the previously used built-in search engine (Google, DuckDuckGo, etc.) How can I get Firefox to stick with my custom search engine and stop reverting to the previously used built-in search engine?

My Firefox browser works just fine, and the "about" tab says it is up to date with ESR, but Chase.com won't let me log in, saying I need ESR. If I already have it, what gives?

Trying to log into Nord VPN with my iphone but keep getting error that cookies are enabled. Turned off every tracking protection etc I could think of and still have this problem on my iphone.

Is there a specific place as nothing in the help for cookie managment.

How is it possible that even Edge - in addition to Orion - have implemented ways to include extensions within the iOS app, while the Firefox developers keep saying that they can't do it because of Apple restrictions?

The browser won't open a Wall Street Journal article. When opened, the screen goes blank then says "A client-side exception has occurred."

The front pages of the WSJ open with no problem, but pulling up the selected article generates the above.

On iOS 18.6.2, the latest Firefox 144.2 keeps reverting my search engine back to Google, at least once daily. I set it to StartPage generally, but have found that any other search engine seems to revert to the Google default. Changing this setting usually is reverted within a few hours, but sometimes it may last a full day though. Can anyone help?

As of this Morning Wed 5th Nov 2025, message content in my eBay account wont display. Instead I am getting a Red Circle with a red bar symbol when I click on the Message title.

Search engines switches from Startpage, which I have added as an alternative browser, to either google or DuckDuckGo without prompting. App inactivity and swiping up to close Firefox both seem to prompt this behavior.

Only startpage and Wikipedia are enabled as alternative browsers, and all default ones are turned off.

Why does the iOS app keep changing my default search engine from Brave to DuckDuckGo?? I changed it to Brave search and I don’t want it using anything else. Why does it not keep this setting?
