Firefox for iOS Community Forum

What in the world are you thinking!?!

Firefox fails to obey OS-defined DNS and instead overrides this to use …….Cloudflare? Are you nuts?

Whoever told you Cloudflare is private or secure failed to educate you on Surveillance Capitalism.

For the love of all that is good in this world, rekey Firefox to allow user-defined DNS- whether that is through DHCP, manual config or a management profile.

Is anyone else having problems manually playing videos after selecting Block Audio and Video in order to prevent videos from auto playing? I got sick of videos starting automatically every time I navigated to a web page, so I followed the instructions to disable auto play by selecting Block Audio and Video in the settings. Now, when I try to manually play a video, it fails to start. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue while still preventing videos from autoplaying? BTW, this is occurring on iPad and iPhone rung the latest iOS version.

Hey there!

I keep seeing this feature mentioned, but I don't have it on my App and I'm running the latest iOS Firefox release. Is it a phased rollout?

Thanks! --Brian

Anyone know what is happening? In the past month or so trying to view websites on iPhone, even on Firefox has become impossible.

The number and size of ads has metastasized to the point they block out all content. Is this a new trend? Is it my settings?

Who is responsible for this shift — the website ad settings or the browsers? Is it Google further breaking the internet?

For the neurodiverse, it’s an accessibility issue as well as a dystopian nightmare.

Please tell me there’s a way to fight this apart from permanent reader mode. This has vastly reduced our use of the internet. Each site feels like a trap and a scam.

The ads cause anxiety as well as irritation and general thwartedness as I cannot reach the content! What are these people/bots thinking?

Thanks

Just want to use the internet without having to close the re direct ad and go back twice. I have strict setting on but still has no effect. I just started using iPhones recently and I’m thinking I might just quit and go back to androids. This is basic stuff needed for use. Is there any way to stop this? Appreciate the help.

It’s not every link… sometimes it feels like it just turns on suddenly which will get me by surprise because it’ll open past the tab i have open so you cant see it. Until i go up to my tabs and scroll over. The number of tabs i have open just says infinity. I am using iOS ipad version. i just looked in setting and couldn’t find anything that was open a new tab every link. I know this must be some setting somewhere but when you have over 600 tabs open and I attempt to close some of them its driving me insane…

Sometimes when I come back to the Firefox app (i.e. already opened to the last tab I browsed) the lower search bar is floating in a place on my screen higher than normal and I’m unable to access it. It’s blocking the screen and I can’t touch or type into the search bar. It requires a quitting of the app and restarting it. This happens almost every day at least once or more. Seems like a bug of some kind perhaps to with scrolling on the page. Would love a solution.

Searching firefox support for “how to search firefox settings” only gives links to changing search engine. I want to find where a specific setting is located without looking thru every category. IOS.

When adding a new shortcut on the Firefox homepage, it moves previous shortcuts. I would like to arrange shortcuts to my liking and keep them in these same place as I add new ones further down on the rows. Is there a way to do that?

Pressing and holding on an image then selecting “save image” causes Firefox to crash on iOS. I checked the permissions to photos in iOS settings. I also tried to uninstall Firefox then reinstalled, same issue. I tried clearing the cache in Firefox settings

Firefox is screwed up. Using iPad. Can’t find toolbar, can’t customize, ads interfering, everything looks totally different.wish I could talk to a human who can help me.Firefox used to be my preferred browser.

File does not autoplay at this link: https://www.scituateriltcc.org/uploads/1/4/8/8/148872611/frank_1.mp3 How do I fix it?

It's been a number of updates now that bookmark keywords have stopped working on iOS. Typing a keyword in the address bar just calls the default search engine for that word instead of opening the bookmark directly. When will this bug be fixed?
