Firefox maka iOS Community Forum

This problem has been on my phone for years, through many iOS versions and several iPhones. I'm guessing its something in my settings but I have no idea what. Basically, when I use Firefox on my iPhone and switch away to another program, when I switch back to FIrefox, it loses its connection to the site I was using and goes to its home page. Yes, really! If things were normal, I should be able to switch away and switch back any time at all, but it pretty much always "crashes" when I do that. But I don't want to call it a crash, because Firefox stays open and happy, but just navigates away from the URL I'd been on. What might I check in order to pursue a "fix" (I doubt that something is broken!). Thanks.

Quick followup - When I'm using FIrefox and simply put my phone to sleep (push the button on the right side, sorry, I forget the name), when I wake the phone Firefox does that same thing and leaves the page I was on and opens the home page.

When attempting to access Shortcuts from Firefox iOS there are now additional steps to get to the site than before the last update. Now a user must click in the address bar which then shows the favorites the user has available. The next step is to depress on the favorite you want to access but you must hold the depressed icon to wait for options to appear. Within those options one would choose Open in new tab which then creates a popup that must be clicked reading “switch tab.” Only when these steps are followed just as laid out will a user gets to the favorite website they want. Try it yourself and then follow my directions as per my screenshots. Can’t upload all pics

This happens right away in Firefox Focus for iOS when trying to access https://www.tradera.com/messaging (required sign-in. Tradera is a Swedish Ebay equivalent) and makes it impossible to communicate with sellers and buyers.

It also happens in Safari when the Firefox Focus content blocker extension is enabled. Disabling that makes the page work. I also have AdGuard and uBlock Origin Lite Extensions, and they do not break the page.

The issue is not present in the standard Firefox for iOS app.

Suggestion: whitelist the /messaging subpage, there are no ads there anyway. The rest of the site is pretty ad-ridden.

I was having some weird issues with Firefox on my iPhone so I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I expected that when I logged into my account it would sync all my data including passwords. That doesn’t seem to be the case. Is there another way to recover my passwords? I assumed they were account based not device based. Help!
