Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Hihi, on the website it says that firefox can be installed on ios devices with at LEAST ios 8, and my iPhone 5 has ios 10 buut the app store is being stingy and wont let me download it unless i have ios 15 or later. is there any way to somehow put an older version of firefox on my phone??

Hi there - a Google search states that FireFox for iOS or iPad OS includes Total Cookie Protection, but I haven't read anything on your website that supports this, nor have I found the feature in FireFox for iPad OS.

Does Mozilla have plans to incorporate TCP into FireFox for iOS, or does Apple prevent this? The feature is so important to me, I may upgrade early to a Mac despite my M1 iPad having plenty of life left.

Thank you.

I've reinstalled and updated Firefox on my iPhone 15, but still there's a Google logo in the search box, not Firefox logo. I hate Google and don't want it in my searches.

Why is it there and how can I get rid of it?

So the main reason I use Firefox instead of Google or other browsers is because it specifically *doesn’t* have AI features, since AI storing my information is a privacy/security risk that I am not interested in taking. Firefox is one of the only browsers out there that isn’t annoyingly pushing for AI to be integrated into every single aspect of the service. I’m not interested. I don’t want it. Mozilla, you’re wasting your time and money integrating features that your users DO NOT WANT. Please allow users to press one button to disable machine learning features instead of burying the switches in about:config. I don’t want AI on my browser.

How can we get rid of the invasive blue pop-up on iOS? Every time I get a tab I want to close, often ads I'm trying to avoid, I get this big blue banner that takes way too long to go away asking "undo closed tab" and ... I never want to undo but it's so frustrating having to wait for it to go away or switch tabs to get it to close faster. Why are they doing this to us? I'm switching to a different browser just to avoid dealing with it and it won't be safari.

Hi, I am having an issue in mobile on iPhone 13 mini where I am trying to view a PDF (a bill so I can’t share the link) and it just opens to a about:blank page that says:

“Your bill is almost ready. Please wait.

Are you using a Chrome browser? Check your browser’s Downloads folder for a PDF of your bill.”

I wait and nothing happens. When I try in chrome it opens immediately in another tab (and doesn’t go to the downloads folder funny enough).

It isn’t in my downloads folder here either.

I don’t think it’s the site since it works in chrome.

I tried turning off pop up blocker, clicking the link again, and it didn’t change anything.

I also notice it is labeling the blank page as an insecure connection. It is from my city electric company so that wouldn’t be likely.

Thank you

Is there any way the recent changes to the browser on IOS can be reverted in a future update or at least have the option to change the layout ? The recent changes make absolutely sense and are frankly aggravating as a longtime user, It honestly feels like a joke to suddenly have the tab names below the tabs and the tab menu at the bottom of the screen. Duckduckgo is looking more tempting with every recent update :/

143.1 updated onto my app this morning and now the app refuses to load. It opens for a second and sometimes begins to show the browsing interface and then it immediately crashes. All subsequent attempts to open the app have failed. I've deleted and reinstalled the app and restarted my phone and that has not fixed the issue.

I want to use Korean automatic translation, but unlike Chrome for iOS, it doesn't work at all in Firefox for iOS. What should I do?

I hope that the function of translating it into Korean will be possible on iOS

Or ios, make the extension available on Android

The menu bar is missing on iOS iPad 143.1 and I can’t find how to get it back. There’s just three dots on the top and when I press that I can’t find the menu anywhere.

open downloaded pdf from "download tab" in new tab always. Opening in the same last tab, destroys the opened tab which often not support back option e. g. Banking websites.

Pls give option of new tab opening of downloaded files.

I am running an iMac Catalina 10.15.7. Since Firefox just updated itself my system keeps crashing so bad that I have to do a hard shut down. Yesterday I had to do this over a dozen times to get through my session. Firefox was the last browser compatible with my Mac. Is this no longer the case?

this is a problem im seeing all over the internet, but nothing in your database. i just replaced my ipad with the newest ipad air m3 (2025). i have updated the operating system and all apps are updated since i just set it up today. when using firefox, and additional tabs are opened, they will not close by hitting the x to close them. the only way that sorta works is going to tab view and closing them there, but they will not close from the main screen.

how do i fix this? like i said, im seeing alot of posts on the internet complaining about the same thing.
