Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I have been using Firefox on my iPhone for years without problems. But for about a week now if I’m on data it can’t load any websites, a message appears saying it cannot connect to server. It works fine when I’m on WiFi.

When offering aid with the "Use saved password" prompt, Firefox Password Manager lands at the most recent tab instead of the tab with the form. I'm submitting this topic as a bugfix request, and not asking for help.

I have Firefox 152.3 (73911) on iPhone with the latest iOS 26.5.2 On Firefox, web pages not showing up when switched between open apps on iPhone.

I can see web pages on Safari.

Is it possible to use reader view in dark mode if the system is set to light? This is possible in Safari and for me to use Firefox as default I need it to work (brain injuries).

I am editing in Wix and Canva. My designs and edits are not being saved automatically. I have been told this is because Firefox is clashing with those programs. I cleared the cache as advised. But this issue is still happening. What can I do? Maybe not work in Firefox with these sites?

I just purchased the Mozilla VPN for my Apple Computer and it states that I can put it on my iPhone as well. How do I confirm that the VPN is active on my iPhone? I can’t find it anywhere.

I am attempting to copy apps from my iPhone to an new android tablet. It wants me to open Safari and use it, but I do not have Safari, it was removed when I downloaded Firefox. What do I do now? Is it actually on the Mozilla site? And, if so, where might I find it on the Mozella site?

Hi, I’m a new user of Firefox on iOS and after being impressed with Mozilla/Firefox privacy commitments,, I decided to use it as the default browser on my iOS mobile on the latest Apple’s software update but unfortunately, I’m unable to even visit safe and known websites mainly because everytime I fall prey to the endless google image verification captcha but never been able to see any of their images - bus, cars, hydrants or anything for that matter. This has resulted in disappointment for me as I tried even dialling down on my privacy controls to standard from strict but to no avail. I have consented for the technical team to share the analytics of what has happened and offer a solution. I am also posting it here as I could not see any features where I could directly drop an email to the Mozilla/firefox devs and technical teams . Keep up the hard work you are doing to keep us safe online but please try to get the browser spot on with iOS . Unfortunately I have now changed my default browser as safari and downloaded Firefox focus to offer some browser protection by toggling on the extension.

All have a nice day!

Firefox iOS 152.3 (73911) default bookmark folder names aren’t always displayed correctly. If you access your bookmarks you correctly see “Unsorted Bookmarks”, “Bookmarks Toolbar” and “Bookmarks Menu”. However, when you go these folders, the title changes to “unfiled”, “toolbar”, and “menu”.

After months of using FireFox, it stopped and won’t reload.

This feature is great and easy to use for Firefox (desktop). Would be nice for mobile too!

If it was added to Firefox (iOS), I'd switch from Brave which I'm using currently. Thanks in advance.

The 'Open Private Browsing' shortcut from the app icon has been broken for years. Long-press on the Firefox icon → "New Private Tab" → it opens a normal tab instead.

Once inside the app, it now takes five taps just to start typing in a private tab:

Open Firefox Tap the tabs icon in the bottom-right Tap the mask/private icon at the top Tap the "+" to open a new private tab Tap one last time on the address bar to actually start typing

Address bar autocomplete doesn't work at all — not even for bookmarks or sites you visit often. You have to type the full URL every single time, including dots, hyphens and the extension. This causes constant typing mistakes.

You also can't open any bookmark directly into a private tab.

Private browsing has become so frustrating that it's basically unusable, and this has been going on for years. Private mode is one of Firefox’s most important features. These basic issues really need to be fixed.
