Firefox for iOS Support Forum

Firefox for iPadOS (version 125.1) does not completely download files. I get the blue „Completed“-bar at the bottom of the screen. Most of the time it gives the correct file name in the download folder and sometimes, as with Thingiverse, the name of the download is „Unknown“. But always the download is just a few kB big. I have to copy&paste the URL to Safari and redo the download. Safari always does downloads correctly. Suggestions highly appreciated.

Pic.1 Download should be 2MB. Filename not correct. Filename see pic. 3 Pic.2 Blue bar at bottom indicating completed download Pic.4 Files in my „Files“ app. Every download just 7kB

Like the title says, just looking for an option in settings to delete all data on close for the IOS version. If there is not an option, what is the possibility of getting one in a future release? Thanks for any helpful responses.

The help instructions say > Click the menu button, click More Tools and choose Customize Toolbar….

- and that works for me on my Windows 10 system; but More Tools does not appear when I click the menu button on my iPad mini.

Am running 102.0 64-bit on Windows system; not sure about iPad, but just installed it today. It seems to be running fine on the iPad mini otherwise. How can I reach the Customize Toolbar pane on it?

Hi, I’m not tech savvy but wanted to know if I need to delete cache and cookies from my default Firefox focus browser and if so, how do I ado it? Also, is there a way to make my email address pop up so I don’t have to type it out every time?

When I try to search for something directly from the Firefox starting page I get no results but instead find myself transferred to the home page of the search engine. (Ecosia)

Is this by design or an error?

Thanks in advance.

Whenever I try to add this link to my list of search engines in iOS Firefox, it crashes. This is the link https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s

Any Suggestions?

I keep Firefox open in the background on my iPad. Every time I go to it, a new tab opens up,that jumps to my Goodreads app. This drives me crazy. Can anyone suggest how I can get it to stop doing that?

I don't know if this is a system wide iOS issue or something specific to Firefox, but I'm not able to disable link preview when long pressing a link. I was able to disable it in Safari which also disabled it in iMessage, but link previews are still showing up in Firefox and Firefox Focus. It's very surprising for a browser focused on privacy and security. I should not have to make a connection to another server in order to see the URL behind a link. Automatically downloading from an unknown URL opens my device up to zero day exploits and privacy violations. Does anyone know how to disable this completely or submit a bug report to Firefox?

/edit: moved thread from (desktop) Firefox to Firefox for iOS section.

I just found out out I got like a couple of hundred inactive tabs on my Firefox app on my iPhone. I just got a new phone and now I’m worried that when I transfer from my old iPhone to my new one, the inactive tabs won’t be transferred along?

If I send tab to my ipad (ios v12.5.5) from my PC (win 10), it wont arrive on my ipad. I can send tabs from my ipad to my PC or iphone and all work fine. PC to iphone (ios 15.5) or iphone to ipad, again all work. It's only PC to iPad. In fact, I send tabs back & forth from 2 laptops, 2 PCs & iphone and all work fine just PC to ipad

I have notifications on, have signed out of all devices & signed back in, removed devices from sync and re-entered, I have deleted Firefox on ipad and PC, cleared cache & cookies on ipad &PC, still the same issue.

Is it an ios 12.5 issue which is the latest version I can install?

When using Firefox on an iPhone 13 mini it keeps locking up stuck on a web page and nothing will clear it unless I reboot the iPhone the all ok it’s so bad now I can’t use Firefox as my default browser

Starting last week, or earlier, Firefox in my iPhone renders some websites in night mode colours. This seems most frequent in sites accessed by Google. I have tried turning night mode on and off in as many places as I can find, without improving the situation.
