Firefox for iOS Community Forum

When in private browsing, I am often asked to agree to website cookie policies before proceeding. What happens when I agree or disagree? Some sites make it easy to reject all, others don’t but what happens in Firefox if I agree in order to continue?

When I go into settings in Firefox for both iOS and on my MacBook Air, I can see some old saved addresses, but I’m not given any options to add, edit, or delete them. I can tap on the address, but nothing happens.

I’m using the latest versions of the operating systems and Firefox is up to date. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but that didn’t work either.

With the last update of iPadOS 18 and Firefox I recognized, that when in background and when I switch between apps, the Firefox screen is showing a website with private information. It is always the same screen from a wensite where I had to put private information in. Even a restart with reset and a new installation of the firefox app does not change that.

In connection with the fact, that private browsing mode is not the default on ios this is concerning me. Firefox should be private first!

When in background the app switcher should show nothing from my browsing window. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Thank you for any help in this regard!

Is it possible with the iOS app (128.3) to view values of cookies stored for a website? It doesn’t appear as though that is data that can be synced to desktop, either. (Would make sense for some browser-specific key:value) If it helps, I know the name of the cookie I’m specifically looking for.

Hello. When trying to browse websites using cellular data only, some kind of security block prevents the websites from loading. It says the it’s pretending to be the website and possibly could steal my information. When using WiFi, the same websites load without any issues and no security blocks. The warning message also says something about only the administrator can make changes or something along those lines. What should I do to get this bullshit off my phone? Please help! I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

When I swipe up to see my currently active apps, I see the same image thumbnail for Firefox in the window every time. It is from a tab I haven’t had open in weeks. Is there anyway to disable this?

Even after deleting websites from my browser history, when typed into the search bar in the history page it will still bring up that site. Deleting the site from the search function doesn’t do anything, and it’s not present in my history at all anymore

ARRGH!!! Firefox used to be good! I want to use it for the little browsing I'm forced to do on the phone because I think it's pretty secure, but it is really impossible to deal with the way you all have the tabs arranged!

I open the app to find a tab I've recently used, to show someone something and the tabs are gone. There's a box with a number, and the tabs are in there, but in a totally inconvenient format where anyone who is with me can see all the pages I have open as I scroll through to find the one I want to show them. It's very annoying.

So instead of just being able to scroll the tabs back and forth and choose the one I want, where it's just the tabs with descriptions in type so small nobody but me could read them, I have to open that effing stupid page and then angle my phone, so curious clients or family or others who happen to be next to or behind me can't see all the tabs I have open. It's awkward and weird.

I just don't need people giving me a hard time about, or even trying to discuss with me, politics or art or anything else I've opened but don't choose to share with them. Your design makes it so I sometimes have to. Seriously Mozilla, what the eff are you people thinking?

I don't want to be confined to some developer's idea of how I should be browsing. Just give us choices, Mozilla!

Hi- previous versions of the iOS Firefox would provide a confirmation pop-up when you hit 'Clear Private Data' under the Settings - Data Management menu.

Version 130.1 (45056) no longer seems to provide the confirmation message....and crucially does not seem to clear all the data. There is often retention of bookmarks and URLs under the Web Site Data section?

Has the confirmation funcationality been removed or is it not working correctly? Can it be reinstated or do I need to regress to an earlier version that did provide the confirmation and expected clearance of data?

Is there a benefit to my changing the cookie settings in Firefox from standard to strict? Will this benefit me overall if I do this or would it cause problems that make my user experience poor? And if I change to the Firefox strict cookie setting would I then be able to give certain websites permission to use cookies without restriction at their discretion, such as say a website like Fidelity investments, which is a website and corporation I’m fairly certain would only use cookies to improve my user experience and not to sell or track in any way that would harm me. So that particular website would have more cookie ability than all the other websites that would governed by the strict cookie setting. In other words, if I go to the Firefox strict cookie setting, would I be able to make exceptions for websites on a one by one basis, websites that I trust? Thanks for your help, Steve.
