Firefox for iOS Support Forum

Hello, everyone!

I'm encountering a perplexing problem with downloading .mobileconfig WiFi profile files through a direct link in my ReactJS web application. This functionality works flawlessly on Google Chrome, Safari, and Edge across iPhone and iPad devices. However, when attempting the same on Firefox for iOS, the downloaded file becomes corrupted and unrecognizable as a .mobileconfig file.

The download mechanism is implemented using a simple anchor tag that points directly to the file on the server. Interestingly, only in Firefox on iOS, the content of the .mobileconfig file gets altered during the download process, leading to corruption.

I'm keen to understand why this issue is occurring specifically with Firefox on iOS and how to resolve it. Has anyone else faced a similar challenge or have any insights on how to ensure the file downloads correctly on all browsers, including Firefox on iOS? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello,

for some time now I have not been able to download anything from homepages. The download window pops up, but it is a 0 file. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, but unfortunately this has not worked. What can I do?

Kind regards Susi

Hello,

Following the creation of this ticket, please find below my issues :

- Why does Firefox can go into blank “black” or purple screen for no reason apart from working into multiple windows (and not tabs from Firefox) (cf. Screenshot enclosed)

- Why is it not possible to download audio files ? It goes into playing mode only (cf. Screenshot enclosed)

- Why do I have multiple sessions opened at the same time like for Web browsing or syncing devices, and some of them incorrectly identified or easily removable without interruption of services (in particular I notice Safari instead of Firefox Private in strict mode ? Or same device named differently like Firefox iPad or Firefox iOS 122, iPad ? Also some where not present yesterday but when looking again today it is said connected 5 days ago). In case of my device being hijacked or in parallel used in the background, can you provide diagnostic support to validate this situation ? (cf. Screenshots enclosed)

Also I can notice that on some particular secure website (cf. Example in screenshot enclosed) lateral or horizontal scrolling is not correctly working with important time lagging with mice. “Without touch screen which seems to respond better, I would have throw away my machine”.

Waiting for your reply.

I'm using iOS Firefox. When downloading PDFs from a site that requires a login, the PDF downloads as a blank file. It still shows up as 74 kb and the name is correct, though. Downloading PDFs from public sites (sites that don't require log in to access pdf) works correctly.

I can’t get the app on iOS to download without a messed up bookmark setting, which means the settings button will not open! Please offer a solution? I installed and reinstalled, plus I’ve tried to delete files folder etc, but the iOS download is holding onto the old file system, which I messed up. I purposely restarted a brand new account, after five to six years of using my old account, but that changed nothing. The bookmarks aren’t even holding on to Mozilla Firefox desktop site book markers?

Whilst sending a link from my Proton drive to others i have realised Firefox (latest version on ios also latest version) does not manage to do a basic fundamental task, I triple checked all the basic settings that could interfere, cleared caches etc etc

It flashes up a warning pop up, i click download, It reaches 100% then opens up a blank window, No file inside any download folder on iphone. It's a 200mb audio file, uncompressed.

I tried with Safari & instantly achieved the download even running a VPN, Firefox is my default browser on desktops & mobile devices for sync etc so this is very inconvenient.

Answers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Why is it that no matter what I download i can’t find the file or it’s not saving it anywhere? Even in the downloads on Firefox it says no downloads after downloading.
