Forum zhromadźenstwa Firefox za iOS

Recently, if I am playing audio from Firefox on my phone, the audio stops when my phone screen is locked. This did not used to happen and does not happen if I play the same audio from Safari. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.1. I have tried resetting the phone and removing and reinstalling Firefox, but it persists. The problem does not occur with audio played from the same webpage through Firefox using my iPad, logged into the same Firefox account.

Hello there,

since the latest Updates, especially firefox 145 (63787) the performance in the tab overview is pretty bad. Closing a tab there needs up to 5 seconds. While the tab is closing the whole interface is unresponsive. switching between tabs from the overview results in the same performance issue. It does not matter if I swipe to close or close with the little "x". It always takes several seconds.

Seems to be a problem with the overview because switching between tabs by swiping the address bar is smooth.

I tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not solve the problem.

I'm using the latest firefox for iOS Version on an iphone 15 Pro with iOS 18.7.1

Thanks for your help.

I have found that over the last several weeks when trying to access sites that are local on my network from my iPhone or iPad like Jellyfin, Proxmox for example, that after every time I restart my device I will have to go into Settings and disable then re-enable the Local Network access setting for Firefox for it to load the site correctly. I do not have any issues getting to the sites when using Safari. This issue was first noticed in iOS 26.0.1 and has continued now that I am on 26.1. Firefox is currently on the latest version and has been updated many times throughout the weeks within a couple of days of the updates releasing. I do not have this issue when using Firefox on macOS.

-iCloud Private Relay is disabled completely for my devices. -Limit IP address tracking is turned off for my network. -Allow cross-website tracking is disabled in Settings for Firefox (and has always been). -Custom DNS servers are set at the router and issued directly. -I have signed out of Firefox, uninstalled the app and reinstalled a couple of times now with no changes.

When I search on Firefox on my iPhone 14, the search results are in a tiny font. This just started happening this summer. Everything, all the search results are tiny. So, I no longer use Firefox. How can I change it back to the way it used to be?

I’ve been having issues with Firefox on iOS. As you can see on the screenshots, the URL bar section expands on blocks half off my screen. When I scroll down the URL bar is hidden and the issue disappears but when I scroll up the same issue returns. It doesn’t seem to be specific to a certain website and is really disruptive.

I’m using an iPhone SE, iOS version 26.0.1, Firefox is updated.

Hello. I get the following error message when I try and do a search on Google. Seems to be something new. Also happening on my ipad. I don’t recall changing any settings. Any help appreciated.

Google 403. That’s an error.

Your client does not have permission to get URL /search?client=firefox-b-m&q=screwfix from this server. That’s all we know.

Last night I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 26.1

Since the upgrade I'm unable to have Firefox play audio for a music stream I listen to when the phone goes to sleep/lock or if I use the app switcher to switch to another app, like Maps.

This wasn't happening yesterday when I was using my phone and listening to the same audio stream in my car with Maps open for navigation.

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.

Recently updated firefox on my iPhone and the tab page has changed. I don't like the new layout, is there any way of changing back. Finding it confusing that the page title is now at the bottom of the thumbnail and not enclosed with it.

For the last two days, I have not been able to clear caches. Because the privacy and security icon is missing. There’s a privacy notice there. When I click it, there’s no area for me to clear cachets.

Please advise

Trying to log into Nord VPN with my iphone but keep getting error that cookies are enabled. Turned off every tracking protection etc I could think of and still have this problem on my iphone.

Is there a specific place as nothing in the help for cookie managment.

I am unable to load Newsmax - I get the message: "Secure Connection Failed

The connection to www.newsmax.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

It loads fine in Safari - maybe I should use that as my default browser.

Hi - I have added Kagi as a search engine and set it to be the default. This works as expected, until at some point, hours later, for reasons I don’t understand, it switches itself back to DuckDuckGo. Kagi remains available as a choice, and I can re-reset it back to default. I’m not sure if this is a bug, or a misconfiguration on my part. Thanks.

The search bar suggestions keeps suggesting me to go to Reddit.com with triple ‘d’. This redirects me to all kinds of malicious websites. It happens when I make a typo and put “reddd+enter” instead of “redd+enter”.

I would like to block this website from loading or from being suggested in my search bar.

This is a security risk for popular websites that people rely on your autocomplete to access.

Thanks for your help.

How can I stop my tablet from opening a new tab every time I switch to Firefox? It’s the worst when I’m trying to get information quickly into another app. I’ve looked through all of the settings and it’s not there. I’ve tried typing about:config and it does nothing except show the new tab window.

Someone please help. I’ve seen an answer from a question about a decade ago but things have changed now and there is no “options” if that’s the next suggestion. All I see is Settings now, and no options to change this in there either. This should be obvious right?
