Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I use an iPad, often with a magic keyboard w/a touchpad. I don't know if it's an issue only with the touchpad or if it's an issue with the touchscreen too, but the "scrolling up/swiping down to refresh page" thing is really sensitive, and it's caused me to wipe out input fields on accident, forcing me to constantly "Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C" to make sure I can retrieve long blocks of text if I accidentally scroll up a little too hard 🙄

Please tell me if there's a way to disable this: on the Android Firefox app I use (Samsung Galaxy S21 FE), it's possible to disable it, but I can't find the setting on my iPad's Firefox app. If there's no way, I'd really love if it was added!! 🙏 Or at least some kind of "sensitivity level" thing.

Thank you Firefox volunteers and staff for your hard work and grace, patience, and diligence in all you do.

(Apple has a tendency to ensure their devices restrict users ability to personalize their experience and implement the types of quality-of-life tweaks Apple refuses to add (for another 3+ years, at least). So I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of thing isn't even possible on iOS/iPad OS...)

Edit1: Silly formatting

In Settings and Browsing I have Pop Up Blocker turned off but still get an error message when I try and open a Pop Up Window as it tells me to disable the Pop Ups. Can you tell me where else I would go to, to disable all Pop Up Blockers?

Hello!

I am an MDM engineer using Jamf Pro. I am hoping to be able to add mobile device app configurations for firefox preference settings (plist) for specifically iOS. If Android is possible, that'd be great as well. I did notice there are no available plist or Mobile application management configurations both firefox available directly on Jamf Pro or Intune. Does firefox have available settings to apply in xml or uploadable property lists for mobile devices specifically? I found the github repository but it only lists keys for mac and windows, I've tried these keys in case it also works for mobile devices as well but it seems that is not the case.

I'm trying to access Microsoft login page using Firefox as my default browser on iOS. This isn't possible until I enable JavaScript but where do I do this?

I've tried about:config however the search engine, DuckDuckGo, kicks in and does a search for " about:config"

I have been using Firefox since I first started using computers, so for over fifteen years. Initially, I only used it on my PC, but for the past few years I have also been using it on my iPhone and iPad. Until now, I have been a very satisfied user, but for some time now I have been extremely dissatisfied with Mozilla and Firefox. I have been using Startpage as my search engine for many years and Firefox is set up that way on all my devices. But on Apple devices, every time I open the browser, Google is now set as the search engine again and I have to correct the setting every time. I find this patronising, inconsiderate and extremely rude. If this cannot be changed very quickly, Firefox will no longer be my default browser on any device. I would be very sorry to see that happen, but it really is not acceptable. Are you so short of money that you have to rip off your long-standing users? I would be very grateful for a reasonable and helpful response.

I’ve set up Kagi as my default search engine on Firefox for iOS, but every time I open the app, it seems to revert the default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Then I have to set Kagi as default again. It’s a very strange bug. I’m not sure if it only happens when you set a custom search engine as the default.

Per this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/summarize-pages-ios

There should be a "Page Summaries" option in the Settings menu of Firefox for iOS. However in settings this option does not appear in the list, resulting in no way to turn off page summaries or remove the icon from the toolbar.

Please advise on how to disable this useless AI crap when the appropriate settings are not visible in the interface.

How can I stop firefox from autorefreshed and autoreload the page I am reading in my apple Iphone or on my Ipad. For some pages with lots of advertising is quite annoying.

Latest FF release announcement highlights the ability to "shake to summarize" — is this feature no yet available or is it something you have to turn on in FF iOS?

The FF web browser on mac update was pretty clear about what this is and it being a new available feature. See attached.

Tried searching for this and couldn't find anything related to this new feature. Thanks for your help!

new firefox iphone interface is bad, dont make it look like other apps, make it most efficient, where the old settings button had everything in one space, now new settings are under more and to do certain tasks you have to go through 2-4 layers to do what were in one tap before. as a developer i am tired of bad interface design hiding options for advanced users.

I would like to customize the menu so favorite items are on the first menu page. The new simplified menu is less convenient when the option I use most – Share – is now on a secondary menu page.
