Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I’ve been trying to install an ad blocker for FF on my iPad and I’m stuck in an endless loop. I navigate to the add on store and it says I have to install FF, even though it’s installed and set as default. The store has the “open” button, not install or download. I have a 5th gen iPad running 16.6. FF is at ver 117.0.

I ran across a bunch of posts about addons not working but they were from about 4 yrs ago. Here are some screenshots of what happens. Are addons prohibited on an iPad?

Thanks in advance

I had been using Firefox on my iPhone for forever. All of a sudden the icon just disappeared, so I can no longer use it as my browser. When I check my apps in Settings, it's there, and checked as my browser, but there's no longer an icon to click on. I went to the app store thinking it had somehow become deleted, and instead of being able to get the app, it just says Open, meaning that it should be on my phone. How do I get the icon back? The way it is now, I can't even delete and re-install it.

What is Mozilla waiting for to improve their browser for iOS? By them allowing add-ons to work on iOS, they could gain significantly more market share, which they desperately need.

And I know extensions on iOS is possible because there’s a new browser that’s come out that allows you to install Firefox and Chrome extensions. Some are buggy, but it still works. It’s called Orion browser.

If Mozilla did it, they could probably come out with a better version.

'Lbold text'I have all my extensions uploaded to Dropbox, having a hard time figuring out what to do with them, especially the Facebook extensions. How do I get those to workin Facebook? I’m very confused!

I cannot update my Firefox - as I try to update I get this message The operation can’t be completed because the item “Firefox” is in use. If its not in use how can I download and update??? Thank you

I am trying to install Firefox and uBlock origin. I believe I downloaded Firefox just fine and created an account. When I tried to download uBlock origin, I click on the link and I get a notice saying the Firefox download is “almost complete” but gives me no options. Please advise

I am trying to install an adblocking extension on Firefox for iOS. However, it tells me I have to download Firefox to use the extension. When I hit download, it brings me to the AppStore page for the app, which shows I have it downloaded and can open it. What is it trying to get me to do?

Install an update is the closest I can come to what I need. I have more than five devices in my home that I would like to use with Mozilla VPN. I really don’t want to create another Mozilla account in order to add more devices. I don’t mind spending more money. What do I do? Is there a commercial account option?

To whom this may concern,

For the past 2-3 weeks none of the drop down menus I've tried to use have worked. Whenever I try to use one or select something on a drop down menu in mobile, the menu does not register my selection and remains on its default setting/option.

I know it has to be an issue with Firefox iOS specifically because when I opened the page on safari (mobile) the drop down menu worked fine; same with google chrome (ios) and the desktop version of firefox (on mac).

I tried to fix it be clearing my private data and the website data from firefox ios, but it didn't do anything.

I don't know what else to do and it's driving me crazy.

Please help!

PS If it's relevent, my firefox ios is up to date and currently running Firefox 116.3, though the issue was also present in 116.2 and whichever version(s) of firefox was running at the beginning of August 2023.

I had to reset my first gen iPad Air and do not have Firefox. The app store requires IOS 13 to download. I have version 12.5.7. is there a way to get an older version to install on my iPad?

This bug appears to have happened before: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/15525

A white toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen (when using a Bluetooth keyboard) or above the floating keyboard (if using the iPad on-screen keyboard). It takes up space but serves no function and often makes it difficult to view whatever webpage I’m looking at, or, even worse, to see what I’m typing if the input field is at the bottom of the screen.

If the “Done” button is clicked, the bar goes away, but then doing so also exits the input field, so I can’t type any further if I close this toolbar. The up/down arrows seem to serve no function.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Firefox app but the issue did not go away.

This does not happen in any other app, including other web browsers like Safari.

Any advice, or a bug fix, would be much appreciated.
