Firefox for iOS Community Forum

How do I keep a new homepage from popping up every time I go to another app temporarily. E.g. I open a webpage to sign in to a site, I open my password app to copy the username and password, and when I go back to the website a new homepage pops up. So I have to find the homepage I was working on again. And in doing that, often the password I copied, is lost so I can’t paste it on the website entry. Very frustrating! Is there any way I can set Firefox to NOT put up a new homepage automatically?

And one other issue: can you PLEASE put up a bookmarks banner at the top of the page like you have on the desktop version of Firefox, or like Safari has. Thank you

I am using Firefox 138.1 (54854) on an iPhone 15 ProMax.

When clicking the hamburger menu in the lower right corner a number of options appear. The second line from the top shows “Bookmarks” and, to the right of that, either “Add” or “Edit” depending on whether the page I’m looking at is currently bookmarked.

Until recently, the two options were either “Add” or “Remove”. I could simply click “Remove” and the bookmark would be gone.

Now that “Remove” has been replaced by “Edit”, how do I go about replicating the old behavior, meaning how do I remove the bookmark for the page I am currently on? Clicking “Edit” leaves me no ability to remove the bookmark from the page that opens up. If there were a link or a button to remove the bookmark in addition to the current ability to edit the title of the bookmark or the bookmark itself, that would be perfect. Since that option isn’t currently available, what’s the solution?

Thanks!

Hi,

My main pc is not working anymore. I opened up an old one but I have the bookmark from last year on it even after syncing. I wanted to retrieve my bookmarks from the pc that crashed. I went to my firefox app but now even there the old bookmarks are sync.

How can I retrieve a previous syncronisation from IOS app? On the PC i can restore a old version but the one that I have on my PC are from a year ago. Can I retrieve a more recent sync or back up from the IOS app?

Thanks a lot for the help,

Best,

I’m running Firefox 131.4 (46621) on my iPhone 12.

I’m setting up a new Mac, and I’m trying to sync the freshly installed Firefox (132.0.1 aarch64) with my other FF instances.

The sync instructions ask if I have FF for mobile, then provide a QR code and give these instructions: 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu /// on iOS and tap «Sync and save data» 3. Tap «Ready to scan» and hold your phone over this code

There is *no* «Sync and save data» menu item, and I can’t find any other location where I might scan a QR code.

Er, help?

Hi, my Firefox on my iPhone was updated on the latest version (116.0), and upon opening it after the update, I realized all of my open tabs were completely gone! This includes the private browsing tabs, which typically persisted from opening to opening of Firefox. Every tab, both normal and private browsing, is now gone. How can I restore them? I've *never* had any issues with any prior Firefox iOS update before!

This is critical to me; thank you for your help in any way, whether that be it through my synced account (which also lost the open tabs, from what I can see) and/or anything else.

Hi, is there a way to change the user agent on iOS? The FxiOS part makes the browser way more fingerprint-able than standard safari, even with all the anti-fingerprint settings to the max.

I have quite a lot of passwords stored in my iPhone. I would like to sync (or, if not possible, export) these passwords to my Firefox browser on the same iPhone.

Many thanks!

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?

Recently the iOs app for Firefox 123.3 began opening a new tab everytime I woke the browser app from sitting in the background. Very annoying. How do I get it to open the last active tab instead of inserting a new tab?
