Why does Firefox do not open QR codes on my iPhone camera?

Kiki replied

Need help please to fix this problem: Firefox does not open QR codes on my iPhone. On my phone, the toggle for Scan QR codes is turned on. I open the camera on my phone, point it to a QR code on my laptop screen, Firefox on my phone opens in a new screen -- but nothing happens. What is missing? Thanks for helping me.

Hi Tonica,

Are you possibly talking about setting up Firefox Sync on Firefox for iOS?

Yes. I use Firefox as my default browser - on my MacAir and on my iPhone (both updated). Since I needed to do something urgently and couldn't get the QR code reading to work, I ended up changing my default browser. But if there’s a way to do it for someone who’s practically a novice with browsers (me) I’d appreciate the help. Tks, Kiki.

Oh, so it's more about accessing a webpage through QR code? Got it!

Is the webpage you're trying to access public? would you be able to share the QR code for troubleshooting purposes?

Unfortunately, no. I'm going to switch browsers whenever I have to deal with QR codes. Thank you very much for trying to help.

Does that happen to all QR code? We probably need to investigate more if that's the case.
