Firefox for iOS Community Forum

While In the British Virgin Island would it be possible to stream Pandora or Spotify through the Mozilla VPN? Would the streaming platforms think I am in the US? I’ll be using my IPad Pro 13 or my Iphone 17. Would I simply open the Pandora app on my device or would I need to log into the pandora site through the Mozilla browser? Thank you, BF

This is the message I get when I try to login to YouTube. Why? I've been using YouTube for years.

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with www.youtube.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

Thank you for your help. Rhonda

I frequently have to toggle on the translate feature to view pages in the country I’m living in. When the translate feature is active, and if I am filling out a web-form, I am unable to leave/minimize the page (say, to go to the notes app to copy and paste an ID number, address, etc), because once I return Firefox blinks and empties the form. I only notice this when translate is on, no other time. So I have to fill out forms in another language or make sure I have all important info literally written on paper to keep from having to leave the app for any reason. Is there a workaround?

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?

When I click on links that cause the browser to open on iOS, nothing happens and none of the command buttons in the browser respond at all after about a minute or so it seems to have sorted itself out and becomes usable. This is making the browser unuseable and may force me to switch to another browser cause I don’t always have time to wait.

Isn't there a toolbar for available the top of the Firefox window? I can't find how to set that up. How do I add the toolbar?

See pic.

Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

Hi, I’m a new user of Firefox on iOS and after being impressed with Mozilla/Firefox privacy commitments,, I decided to use it as the default browser on my iOS mobile on the latest Apple’s software update but unfortunately, I’m unable to even visit safe and known websites mainly because everytime I fall prey to the endless google image verification captcha but never been able to see any of their images - bus, cars, hydrants or anything for that matter. This has resulted in disappointment for me as I tried even dialling down on my privacy controls to standard from strict but to no avail. I have consented for the technical team to share the analytics of what has happened and offer a solution. I am also posting it here as I could not see any features where I could directly drop an email to the Mozilla/firefox devs and technical teams . Keep up the hard work you are doing to keep us safe online but please try to get the browser spot on with iOS . Unfortunately I have now changed my default browser as safari and downloaded Firefox focus to offer some browser protection by toggling on the extension.

All have a nice day!

Why does Firefox mobile for iOS look different on my iPhone 13 pro max vs my wife's iPhone 12 pro max? both UTD on iOS version. I suspect that I must be missing something in settings, but cannot figure this out. See images below.

On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Firefox app has the nice home button, tab button, and hamburger menu button on the bottom (address bar on top both cases). On my wife's iPhone 12 Pro Max, it has the "+" for new tab, the 3 dots instead of hamburger menu, and then the tab button. I much prefer the layout on my phone, as does my wife, but I cannot figure out how to change her layout to match mine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I am attempting to copy apps from my iPhone to an new android tablet. It wants me to open Safari and use it, but I do not have Safari, it was removed when I downloaded Firefox. What do I do now? Is it actually on the Mozilla site? And, if so, where might I find it on the Mozella site?

On iphone, I noticed when i swipe out of the window to look at another open app (i dont close firefox when doing this) firefox puts up some kind of privacy screen that prevents me from seeing what i was browsing. is annoying because sometimes i need to compare what i’m looking up with another open app like in my photos or something. It’s also visually annoying when i just pull down the control bar to mess with a setting and it privates the screen. Can i turn this off? This happens in normal tabs, I don’t typically use private tabs nor am i in one when this happens.
