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.

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?

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!

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

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?

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.

Was the option to close privacy tabs removed recently? I would like to be able to save my tabs without losing them again. I only ask because I just like to organize my tabs instead of having all the tabs in one section.

Like the title says, just looking for an option in settings to delete all data on close for the IOS version. If there is not an option, what is the possibility of getting one in a future release? Thanks for any helpful responses.

How is it possible that such a glaring design error still exists after so many have asked for so long?

And to those commenting completely incorrect and unhelpful steps that lead to menus that don’t exist in the settings, WHY?

I’m bout to go back to safari. I love everything Firefox stands for but this is such a glaring oversight I can’t help but wonder what else is being missed.

I don't know if this is a system wide iOS issue or something specific to Firefox, but I'm not able to disable link preview when long pressing a link. I was able to disable it in Safari which also disabled it in iMessage, but link previews are still showing up in Firefox and Firefox Focus. It's very surprising for a browser focused on privacy and security. I should not have to make a connection to another server in order to see the URL behind a link. Automatically downloading from an unknown URL opens my device up to zero day exploits and privacy violations. Does anyone know how to disable this completely or submit a bug report to Firefox?
