After updating to version 129.2 on my iPhone, I can no longer rearrange my tabs. I can tap and hold on a tab and move it but then it snaps back to the old position. This is making the browser unusable for me. I have tried closing and reopening the app and restarting my iPhone but neither worked.

Until yesterday I had a 6-tab grid view of urls on my Iphone. I have no idea why but it has reverted to list mode and I do not like it. It limits what I can be reading at the same time about a topic. I have tried everything I can find on the web about changing it but have not been successful because I can find no where where in settings where it gives me the option of the grid view. HELP!!!

I use the "Larger text" Display Zoom option on my iPhone. Until recently, the tab view in my Firefox app would show my open tabs arranged in two columns. But yesterday, it suddenly began showing my open tabs arranged in a single column, with each tab preview so large that it takes up half of my iPhone screen. So I can only preview a couple open tabs at a time, and I have to scroll through my open tabs vertically. This makes the tab view much less useful.

How can I change the tab view to once again arrange my open tabs in two columns instead of one while in iPhone's "Larger Text" Display Zoom mode? If I change it to the "Default" Display Zoom mode, then the tab previews are arranged in two columns as usual.

tabs visible in grid on ipad ios, but when click, no url shows and webpage won’t open

I have a lot of open firefox tabs on my ipad (some are in ‘inactive’ mode, but many are open. The tabs look blank in regular view. But when I click the three lines, I can see miniatures of the pages in grid form (and a very partial url above, but not enough to copy), so I can tell they must still be there in firefox’s memory, but when I click on any of the pages, a blank page with no url opens. Where are my tabs? Why can’t I get them back? I’m set to sync, but only tabs from iphone sync to ipad; the ones from ipad aren’t syncing to iphone. I’d be very grateful if someone knew what was happening and could help me resolve this. Thank you!

Hi, reacently private tabs started to be deleted whenever I close firefox, is this intentional? it used to be that when one closed ff and reopened it it would take them to home page in non private mode, but the private tabs would remain accesable. If thats a new feature I ask you kindly to make a toggle for ios to make it costumizable: close open private tabs when ff is closed: y/n

The behavior of Firefox on my iPad when long-pressing a link and selecting the “Open link in new tab” option is counter to how it should operate. It opens the link in a new background tab. It should open the link in a new tab and bring that tab to the foreground, like it does in the desktop app.

When I opened my iPad all tabs saved in private browsing had disappeared. I keep them there not because they are particularly private but for ease of access. A note from Google said that it had changed my settings as they didn’t know if I was over 18. (I’m 75!) and I needed to sign in to Google. I always use Duck Duck Go as my search engine on my desktop and do NOT want to use Google if possible. Can you help. I’m really fed up/ angry about this intrusion. Sorry for explanatory ramble. Thanks Nicola Palmer Nicolapa@blueyonder.co.uk

Private tabs vanishing on iOS Firefox

I’m having a problem very similar to the one described here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1421173 from last year. Ever since the version 127.0 update from last week, all my private tabs are GONE. My regular tabs, including inactive tabs, are fine but more than 40 private tabs were lost (and I’m pissed because the nature of what those tabs were makes them very difficult to go re-find). Now, anything I open as a private tab vanishes if I leave the app for more than just a moment, even if I left it open to that tab. It makes the private browsing function effectively unusable for anything I’m not gonna just sit down and do in one sitting.

I don’t expect my 40+ lost tabs recovered, it’s a pain but it’ll be fine, but the function issue is NOT fine and needs to be fixed!

I'm on Firefox 127.0 (42448) ios and all my private tabs were closed on update and now whenever I make a private tab it disappears after the app is closed or refreshes. It's kind of behaving like the setting where private tabs are closed automatically but when I looked in the privacy settings of firefox ios it's not there anymore. Does anyone else have this issue? I know theres an existing problem with tabs for firefox but I don't think this is exactly the same because my normal tabs are totally fine.

I’ve updated to IOS Firefox version 127.0 I lost a good chunk of tabs in the private browsing section after this update removed the ability to leave private browsing tabs open after exiting the app. Scrolling down to the privacy section of the settings for my application showed me that the button/prompt for that setting was removed outright. If this was an intentional decision, it should have been noted in the update/change logs in preview of the IOS app store. I don’t agree personally with this change, but it happened regardless.
