Note: These instructions apply to the latest version of Firefox for iOS. Make sure your app is updated from the App Store.

  2. Tap the tab icon in the bottom-right corner.
  3. You’ll see all open tabs in your current browsing mode.

Firefox displays regular tabs by default. You can swipe left or right to move between open tabs.

Use private browsing tabs

Private browsing tabs let you browse without saving your history, cookies, or search entries. To open a private tab:

  1. Tap the tab icon.
  2. Tap Private at the top/bottom of the screen.
  3. Tap the + to open a new private tab.

To return to regular browsing:

  • Tap Tabs in the tab manager.

Private tabs automatically close when you quit the app, depending on your privacy settings.

Use synced tabs

  1. Tap Sync to view tabs open on other devices connected to your Mozilla account.
  2. If you're not signed in, Firefox will prompt you to log in.

Troubleshooting tips

  • Tabs not syncing across devices? Make sure you're signed in to Firefox Sync.
  • Missing tabs after app restart? Private tabs are automatically cleared if that setting is enabled.
  • Can’t close tabs? Try updating Firefox or force-closing and reopening the app.
