Firefox maka iOS Community Forum

I have Updates set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" - but several times recently Firefox has blocked me from opening new windows with:

"Restart to Keep Using Firefox An update to Firefox started in the background. You'll need to restart to finish the update. Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not."

Why is Firefox starting to install updates WITHOUT my consent?

And how do I stop Firefox from doing this?

I'm running FF v147.2.1 on my iPhone. There is NO translation option in the address bar OR in settings. It was supposed to be introduced in v146. Why is it not available despite having a version that is supposed to have the feature?

I mistakenly updated after who knows how long and I can’t take the way it looks now. Now it looks like the first two images but I need it to go back to how it looked in the third image. There has to be a way to fix it, it behaves and looks all wrong now. Please please help me change it

Hello,

I hope someone can help me with this little issue.

I’ve downloaded firefox to my ipad and every link I click, it opens in a new tab, instead of staying in the same window. I find it quite confusing. Especially when I had a couple of tabs open already. So everytime I clicked a new link,I didn’t immediately see that I opened another tab, and kept clicking the link (thinking it didn’t work), until I had multiple tabs opened, but they weren’t visible in the tab bar. It’s not very user friendly to me.

Is it possible to prevent a link from opening in a new tab? I’ve looked into the settings, but for the life of me, I’ve not been able to find a solution.

Can someone guide me here?

Thanks in advance,

Best, I

I work with senior citizens and some people with disabilities. I am trying to support them and simplifying everything as much as possible.

One woman only has use of one arm and one finger. She now uses 1Password she prefers Firefox.

I cannot figure out how to enable auto fill features for her account verification request requests from email (yahoo) and iphone messages. Also, I want her personal contact info to autofill (we did fill out her contact card in Apple contacts.

She uses a Mac desktop. Does something have to be enabled on each device or just within Apple and Firefox?

I do not want Mozilla to fill in Passwords because we’re using the 1Password. I am confused about what to enable on the iPhone settings and what to enable on the mozilla browser. Apple refused to help me with Firefox features. Please help.

When I use firefox to sign in to my gmail account ([edited] @gmail.com), firefox will not save my password so I have to enter my email and password every time. I can't find the option to remember password anywhere. What can I do to get firefox to save my password. Thank you. Walter Schmid

Firefox for iOS is a fast and secure browser for iPhone and iPad. It protects your privacy while browsing. You can also sync your bookmarks and passwords across all devices.

On my banking platform, secured.nedbank.co.za when I click “download” or “print” which usually opens a new tab with a pdf viewable, nothing happens in firefox ios. I have tried disabling everything (enhanced protection, blockers etc), clearing web and private data and reloading but nothing is allowing it?

Hi! If I click a link that is meant to redirect somewhere else (and I know that they do that properly on other browsers so it isn’t an issue with the links themselves because I recently switched and they worked fine) it doesn’t work. For example, if I click on a link to a news article through a post on X/Twitter,rather than redirecting to the site, Firefox just stays on a page that says “A server with the specified hostname could not be found“. I’ve looked at the settings in the Firefox app and haven’t found anything that solves this but I hope there’s just something I’m missing because it’s very frustrating

My primary firefox/google profile vanished along with all bookmarks. Recovery history only shows bookmark from secondary account that is under a different email.

How to I restore the bookmarks (years worth!) from my primary profile?

Editing text in data entry fields is difficult when using Firefox for iOS. Cut and paste are often unavailable. There is no way to move the cursor in any direction other than backspace. Delete should be available as well as nondestructive cursor movement.

   My attempts to place a cursor then move it in a field usually fail.
  Try these cursor movements on Mozilla’s own Firefox support pages.
   Oddly, the text entry field for this comment is better behaved, Still it lacks many of the cursor movements I mentioned here.
