Firefox - iOS Community Forum

iOS 15.8.3, FF Version 133.2.

A couple of months ago I started having a bunch of issues with the iOS app simultaneously. First I couldn't get my tabs to sync. Then I signed out and had a hard time signing back in-- it just wouldn't work. Now I am finally signed in, but the app isn't working like it used to. I haven't been able to sync tabs since then now matter how many times I try. It still shows tabs for stuff I read months ago. I can't send tabs from desktop to my phone (but I can send from my phone to desktop with no issues). Finally, the tabs are all weird now-- they are huge (see pic).

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 20 or 30 times. I'm considering going back to Safari because the main reason I use Firefox is for phone/desktop connectivity and it just isn't working anymore. Any ideas?

When I pull upwards on the bottom of my screen to scroll between/close apps while in landscape mode (such as watching a video or playing an app), if Firefox is open it will show me a preview of a video that I watched a while ago (and in a private browser, as I do most of my internet usage in the private browser). Why is it doing this? I've since watched other videos, and yet it still shows the preview of a video from several weeks, if not months ago. I'd like it to not do this. It's a bit annoying seeing this glitch (or occurrence, however it may be categorized) so often when I'm long since watched other things. It's only occurring when in landscape mode as well.

I don’t know how it happened but I can no longer type into the url/search box in Chinese when using the ios app. I’m having to type out everything in a notepad app and copy paste into Firefox which is becoming tedious. Switching to the English keyboard works, it just Chinese keyboard that’s blocked. I can’t find how to fix this in settings. Please help!

Hi there,

I’m experiencing some issues with the iOS browser. When I try to delete cookies.

So, when I have a list of cookies on the website data page. I back out, leave cookies and cache selected, and then hit clear private data. However, after doing this for certain sites, only one cookie remains. When I look in the website data page again, hitting clear all website data on that page does work and seems to be the only solution at the moment for this bug.

Sometimes, this doesn’t happen at all, but it has happened frequently enough that I’m reporting it.

I’ve noticed that this issue has occurred about 10 times within the past two days.

I have a screen recording I just don’t know where to send it for feedback.

For the past couple of weeks, after visiting some websites, I receive unsolicited emails from that site. I am NOT entering my emails or giving any info. A few of the sites are shopping sites and one was a website for a dog rescue. Again, I did not give my email to any of these sites. I visited them for a couple of minutes and then later received an email from the same site.

How do I stop this from happening?

Is there a primary password and also a regular password? I have tried to change my primary password but the box to continue doesn't work. Note, I only know of one Mozilla password, and have no idea as to a second one. And yes, I have followed the available instructions, but the one and only password I know doesn't allow that final click. Thanks.

Hello I am using the latest version of Firefox app for Ios, have the following issue, I can download but there is no option to save the file in Firefox app for ios. Can some one tell me how I do this.

If you set the new tab option to a custom url, it doesn’t work properly when you open a new tab. You have to press return to get the custom page to open. This feature works fine in the iPhone app. Hopefully it can be fixed. Thanks

I can no longer open Firefox from the share sheet on my iPad or iPhone (both running iPadOS/iOS 18.2). I tap on the Firefox icon in the share sheet in some other app and nothing happens. Interestingly if I tap on Firefox Focus (v133.0) instead of Firefox (v133.3) in the share sheet then Focus opens fine.

I'm not sure if this problem is related to iOS/iPadOS 18.2 or Firefox 133.3 as they came out close together and I didn't notice the problem until I was running both. Prior to upgrading Firefox and iPadOS/iOS share sheet launching was working fine.
