Firefox for iOS Community Forum

After years of hoping for a dedicated new tab button in Firefox for iOS, my wishes were answered this morning when I installed the Firefox 140.2 on iOS. As explained in the release notes, there is "a sleeker, more intuitive Toolbar and Tab Tray — with smoother animations, simplified controls, and a modern look that feels right at home on iOS." What's more, it replaced the (IMO) useless "home" button with a BEAUTIFUL one-tap new tab button! I was overjoyed!

However, a few hours later, my Firefox UI has reverted back to the old way. It still claims to be on version 140.2, so I don't understand how that happened. As far as I can tell, there are no options within settings to get the new UI.

What happened, and how can I take advantage of the new UI?

I was wondering how to restrict certain words from being browsed on the account, is that possible? I heard FoxFilter does something similar but I can’t seem to find it.

I don’t seem to be able to add a Home Button within the Browser since it updated to the latest version. This is very frustrating as it gets used all the time. Please explain how I can add a home button.

Kind regards

A little square used to pop up when I clicked on the searchbar on my iPhone, but it seems to have stopped doing this with the latest release. Can anyone please help me find it, or if it has gone, then please confirm to me?

I can still open QR codes by opening the Camera App first, but the Firefox QR code reader was always easier to use, and I just like it more!

When clicking a link, the context menu uses to show the entire URL, now it only shows the domain. This is a regression and feels like a potential security risk if you can’t see the entirety of the URL prior to navigating to it.

Need to download Firefox for iOs 12 (specifically 12.5.7 on an iPad Air). I saw advice that gave a download page on a Mozilla site but the address given did not work. The iPad is not able to accept a newer iOs. Is there still such a download somewhere?

A few days ago I changed my password on my account but I forgot to write it down. Now I tried to change it again but it doesn't remember the current password, resulting in it asking me to enter the 32-character password, but unfortunately I don't have that either. How can I change my password without losing my data? King regards John Papoulakos

Hi

The new tab page is amazing on iOS but if I disable the four options on settings>support the tab page rolls back to the prior version using the old layout without that beautiful animation. Thanks.

Firefox v140 on iPad, iOS v18.x.x

Missing Home Page icon on Firefox web pages after forced update to v140. Not good!!!

Is there any way to restore the Home Page icon (house) or restore a previous version of Firefox?'

Since the 140.0 update i have been unable to move tabs on ios mobile by tapping and dragging them as i was able to in previous versions. is there a new way to move tabs on mobile or has this function been removed? if it was removed (purposely or accidentally) is there any plan to bring it back? its really frustrating not being able to organize my tabs anymore :(.

Since updating, I can't rearrange the tabs. When I press and hold a tab, the preview expands and some menus appear, but I can't move them by dragging them. I use iPhone12.
