Firefox for iOS Support Forum

In the Manage Your Extensions in Fire Fox Preferences, I have two extensions which I have turned all. However, one of the extension icon does not appear in the tool bar. Its the Keeper extension.

Why does it not show up in the tool bar when DuckDuckGo does?

Hey folks,

i got two problems using Mozilla Firefox with iOS @ my Apple iPad Pro 12,9 2020 with Apple Magic Keyboard.

The tab bar always disappears when i ´m scrolling down on every page. To resolve the problem i have to click on the iOS Status Bar. Is this a known problem and somebody give me a clue how to show the tab bar permanent?

Next problem is about the „Right-Click“ on a link on a page. If i open a page and want to open a link in a new tab, i tap the link with two fingers and nothing happens. At first i got to „long-tap“ the link on the touchscreen to show the „Right-Click-Menu“ to open the link in a new tab. After this procedure i can use the „Two-Finger-Tap“ to open the menu. This problem appears on every new opened page and i got to repeat the procedure.

I hope you can give me some clues to resolve the problems.

Best regards from Germany and have an nice weekend,

Andi

I upgraded to the new Firefox and when I set up my colors on the tabs, etc. they disappear when I have to reboot my computer. Also, none of my "pinned tabs' are there any longer or my frequent websites that were listed on the 4 lines I created

I haven't had an Iphone since the 4S, but mine was jailbroken and I had cydia. I'm thinking about switching back to iphone since a lot of my friends have it and I think the lidar might be fun, but I really like having all my adblockers, tracker blockers, video downloaders, noscript, and etc add-ons I currently use with firefox on my android. Just want to make sure I can still use those if I j/b. Thanks in advance.

I have keyboard text replacement turned on for my iPhone 12. FOr example, I use "fr" as a text replacement for the word "from. But if I am trying to type the search "french food" in the search/address bar it will show up as "fromen.....". The first two letters "fr" will be replaced with "from".

Is it possible to turn off text replacements just for the browser specifically?

Images show the difference between Chrome & Firefox. TIA

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.

When I try to print from my phone it doesn’t seem to look for my Bluetooth printer. It says there are no AirPrint printers available. How do I make Firefox look for a Bluetooth printer? Never mind. I can’t seem to delete this, but it was a silly mistake on my part. (Bluetooth was off on the printer)

When I try to type a Google search in the middle of the page, as it has always been, the typing defaults to the toolbar search. I have tried everything to disable this annoyance and distraction, but nothing works. Help?

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.

The new Firefox for iOS home page always defaults to having the address bar active which has the keyboard up. This hides the button to show the bookmarks. This should not be the default since most of the time people will either use one of their bookmarks or one of the shortcuts on the homepage. Please fix this. If I want to type a URL, I can tap the address field first.

After recent updates I’m having repeated problems with uncontrolled opening of new tabs as fast as the system can do in a loop of some kind. This generally is happening when a link in email is unintentionally activated. The only solution is to try to shut down the app, bring it back up, and delete the 20 or 30 tabs that have been created. I don’t know what URL’s have been doing this since they don’t show up in the tab or history, but it has happened repeatedly and could not be isolated to a single url.

On my iPad Pro 2020 I've set-up Firefox to change from light- to dark-mode when the OS changes the mode automatically. Firefox has it's issue with this. After the OS changes from light- to dark-mode, the Tabs will show up completely white and vice versa. What helps is to shut down the Browser and restart.

As the OS changes modes two-times a day, I have to shut-down and restart Firefox also two-times a day. This happens with the latest version "Firefox Daylight 34.0 (4920)" and also with previous versions. iPadOS version 14.6.

This needs a fix. Thank you!

I've tried to ad Startpage as a search-engine to Firefox on my iPad but there's no option to set Startpage.com as my default search-engine.

Request: please ad the option to set Startpage.com as default search-engine in Firefox on iOS/iPadOS.
