Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I don’t remember from when, but after some point of an update of Firefox for iOS, whenever I type something in Korean into address bar for quick search, it automatically changes my inputs to English and extra character appends at the front. This will cause great inconvenience for Korean users. I hope Mozilla team fix this problem soon.

Until the latest Firefox update, I could select the menu options, now in the three dots, and select Share which would give me several sharing options such as text, email, printer, etc. Now there is no option to Share so I have to copy the URL, close my web browser, open another app such as email or text, enter the addressee, paste the URL, send the message, close that app and return to the web browser. 8 steps that used to be completed in 4 steps within the open page in my web browser. Why was Share removed?

Initial performance is good, but over time especially when tabs are opened and closed frequently responsiveness to user input (e.g. tab switching, opening/closing tabs, response to hyperlinks) becomes very slow. After force quitting and restarting, performance is good again for some time. I exclusively use private tabs.

Hello, Since I updated my iPhones to iOS 26 hell broke loose. On my iPhone 14 ProI can no longer use Firefox as it quits when I open it On my 15 Pro I can use it but most of the time I half only half of the window. I do want you to be my default browser. Can you help, please? How come there is not one article on this? Many thanks! Natalia Great fan of yours

Hiya, The latest firefox update for iOS 26 on mobile added a new feature, or at least a new prompt for an existing feature, with moving the address bar to either the top or the bottom, however this does not appear to apply to the sideways view option, and the address bar is only at the top regardless of which setting is used. Is this a bug?

Also it appears that the auto-hide behaviour takes more scrolling before it engages. Is there a setting to adjust this? If not I would like to request a setting to adjust this on mobile be added as I would prefer it be almost instant in both hide and unhide if possible. Many thanks!

For some unknown reason, you guys decided to remove the “home” button from the Firefox browser app for IOS. I have been using a home button on my browsers for over 30 years now and by removing it you have rendered the Firefox browser unusable to me. Why try to fix something that wasn’t broken? I shouldn’t have to open a new tab every single time I want to go to my home page! Who thought this was a good idea? Just so you know, I will most likely be looking for an alternative browser to replace Firefox if this is going to be a permanent thing.

Hello,

I’d like to share some feedback on the new Firefox update for iPhone. The new menu layout feels much less functional, and I’m disappointed to see that progressive web app support is no longer available.

In addition, I can’t find any option to share webpages by email or into apps like WhatsApp, which I used to rely on regularly. This missing feature is a major inconvenience and has led me to use Safari more often for tasks I previously preferred Firefox for.

Could you please reconsider these changes, or at least restore the ability to share webpages easily?

Thank you.

open downloaded pdf from "download tab" in new tab always. Opening in the same last tab, destroys the opened tab which often not support back option e. g. Banking websites.

Pls give option of new tab opening of downloaded files.

In recent weeks, I’ve been getting signed out of two sites in particular, Patreon.com and Defector.com what feels like every day. It’s a nuisance, as I subscribe to both sites and read them primarily through the Firefox browser. I tried deleting all cookies and the issue has persisted. Any help is appreciated.

After I sync it with the Firefox browser on my laptop it crashes on my iPhone. I've done everything from updating my phone software to updating the app. Restarting and deleting and reinstalling and resyncing the accounts. Once I sync it the phone app crashes. I prefer to have Firefox as my default browser but now I'm having second thoughts.

Appreciate the help. Thank you in advance.

I can't find a way to turn it off in settings, but whenever I reopen the window the last tab I was on is open even if I closed it before.

Is there actually a way to turn that off?

iOS 26 / Firefox 143.0.1 When trying to delete “all site data” under settings - data management, nothing actually happens although the stored sites disappear at the moment. But when closing and opening the browser again I find the “deleted” site data still there. It only seems to work if I select a few specific sites and hit delete data.

I have an older iPhone and I run Firefox. You must have updated it because the homepage “house” icon in the bottom bar has disappeared. Settings still has the preferred homepage URL but there is no icon. This is unacceptable!!

Hi- with the most recent update to firefox mobile for iOS- I have lost the ability to quickly toggle between search engines. I prefer to use duck duck go but sometimes the results just aren’t what I need and I have to go to google. But now I am not seeing that option. Did it go away? Can I give feedback that this is much more clunky and likely to force me to default to google instead??? Thank you!

My iOS app just updated with a new ui for the mobile settings menu. It'll take me some time to get used to this, but I'm not opposed to it. However, it also changed the order of the icons in the bottom toolbar so that tabs view is the fifth icon rather than the fourth, and the menu icon has been switched vice-versa. This has caused my muscle memory of using the app to repeatedly tap the wrong icon, which has turned my usage of the app incredibly sloggish. If Mozilla wants to change the default ordering of these icons, I don't care that much, but surely it seems prudent to give the end user an option to change the order back to the previously established pattern? Having the menu icon in the bottom-right-most location on screen feels the most natural to me.

Firefox guidance says the reader view button should be in the address bar. This seems to have been replaced with an ai feature that is not a replacement for reader. No other menu seems to have a reader view option either. Please help as this feature was critical for making webpages accessible.
