Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I just updated my iPhone 13 Pro, running iOS 18.5, to the latest version of Firefox mobile (140.3). The app keeps freezing in such a way that I am unable to press the “open tabs” button to view my tabs. Restarting the phone fixes this issue for a while, but it’s been happening again and again in the last couple of days. This issue is impeding my internet browsing so much that I am considering switching to a different browser for my phone.

I have used Firefox to log in to Hotmail.com for years. Suddenly Firefox is deleting login data when I close the tab, but not the browser. And when I return to hotmail in a new tab, I now get a window that says it "can't sign me in, try again later." I have to close Firefox and reopen in order to get a new login page. I have always had Firefox set to delete cookies and site data when I close it. Under History setting, it's "use custom settings", "delete history on closing." Under those settings I have browsing and download history unchecked. My hotmail setting is to stay logged in. What's up?! I've always been able to return to a logged in hotmail all day no matter how many times I close the tab and return to it. I've never had that problem before and don't have it with Safari. I also do not have that issue with yahoo mail.

Hi everyone,

I'm Ajay Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). The update I installed three weeks ago has drastically reduced performance—everything is running about 80% slower. Every page load or tab switch now takes around 10 seconds.

Is this a known issue, and is there a fix planned? I’ve been a loyal Firefox user for 20 years, but if this continues, I may have to switch browsers.

Thanks! Ajay Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss)

The social security website says I must click on an unblock icon in the browsers address bar to upload documents, but I can’t find that. Firefox says I must grant permission to share photos with a website, but it doesn’t say how.

How do I grant permission (where do I find icons to click) to share photos?

The previous update I installed three weeks ago has slowed the performance by 80%. Are you aware of this? Is there a plan to fix it? Every page loaded or every switch between tabs takes 10secs. If it doesn’t improve I will leave Firefox for the first time in 20yrs.
