Firefox for iOS Community Forum

I've setup the Opening Screen on the Firefox iOS app to be set as Last tab, but Firefox keep opening a new tab every time I open the app.

I enabled "Jump Back In" in assuming it would jump back to the previously opened tab after closing the app, but it doesn't work.

J'ai envoyé une requête auprès d'un service qui m'a redirigé sur ce lien pour faire ma demande d'aide pour mon problème avec l'application Firefox sur mon téléphone (Samsung Galaxy S24 pour référence)

Après avoir recherché une solution à mon problème sur internet afin d'avoir les onglets encore ouvert en navigation privée après avoir fermé l'application sur mon téléphone, j'ai trouvé cette page internet :

https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/fermer-automatiquement-onglets-prives-en-quittant-navigation-privee?mobile=1

Cependant, cette solution n'est pas utilisable vu qu'elle est incorrecte. Je n'ai pas les options qui sont données sur l'image et dans les étapes données.

Où dois-je aller ou que dois-je faire pour trouver une solution à mon problème ?

It seems since the last major system update on my iphone11 pro max (512G), firefox (my primary browser) has been… weird.

Long keypress delays (inconsistent; about 1/3 of the time as bad as 3s to over 10s!); I notice these to a much lesser extent on other browsers, but also on other browsers (why I’m singling out the iOS 18.1 release behavior changes; currently: iOS 18.3.2)

Frequent “crashes” (app simply closing) in the middle of activity);

Scroll unresponsiveness, similar in occurrence and delay times to keypress issues;

I have wondered if I’m having: • malicious software problem (?) • hardware intermittent failures (my battery needed replacement, which I’ve recently done and many things on the phone operate better, likely better use of multi-cores) • iOS software depending on new chips, and iphone 11 not having - software solution w/in iOS which is… inadequate

One thing I’ve noticed which is consistent (something I have not used before these behaviors, but partly this - and phone reboots - because of it):

Attempts to close all tabs consistently, always fails.

Any help appreciated.

Recently closed tabs and windows are greyed out. In firefox view i can see recently closed tab. But i am asking about start up option in general tab in settings. There is option of open previous windows and tab. So whenever i close my browser and open it doesn’t show previous windows or tabs , it opens home page. Checking option of open previous windows and tabs doesn’t work, that was my question. This setting used to work for me few years ago. Last few years I didn’t use computer. I think there is glitch in start up settings.

I have a problem that when I'm opening the "Control center" on IPhone or the "Notification center" and then going back to Firefox - somehow opens new tab and I'm momentally find myself there and not on the tab, where I was before. Also if I exit Firefox somewhere to the screen but not close browser and then going back - I'm also appearing on new tab but not where I was before. I haven't closed browser, so I find this behaviour strange.

Hello everyone! A quick question: Since updating to 136.0, right-clicking a link and and selecting "open link in new tab" or "open link in new window" does nothing. I am still able to open the link in the active tab by left-clicking on it. Any thoughts?

I am currently using the latest version of Firefox for Apple iPhone.

When I tried to close all tabs, it does not close. I click on the trashcan and click to close all tabs, and it pauses for a very long period of time and still retains all old tabs. The only way to close tabs is to go through them manually delete them one by one. Obviously this is not acceptable.

I’ve been very happy with Firefox in the past, and I would hate to Have to change browser platforms, but this is getting to the point where I need to change browsers if this is not fixed soon.

please let me know if this is something I’m doing wrong on my end or if this is a known issue and you have a solution. 

Thank you!

The help on this is either dated or just flat wrong. The image does not show iPasOS 18.3’s multi-window support.

Would work with an update to an image for the look of the multiwindows support on recent versions of iPadOS **IF** you do not already have a second FireFox window open. If you do, splitting the screen and the clicking on the FireFox icon merely opens that second, existing, FireFox window

The only way that I can get a new window is to use an external keyboard to type Command N

Comments/suggestions?

Hi!

I am trying to turn off the auto refresh function, but I can’t get to the actual configurator page. When I type about:config into my url bar, I get search results via DuckDuckGo, instead of the configuration page. When I click on link, I get taken to a Mozilla help page, but CANNOT get to the actual configurator, to change the setting to “true”. How can I actually get this page to come up?!?!?!

When clicking on a search link in firefox for ios, it does not open a new tab, which it used to do. I prefer that, if I need to do more searches from the search query. It is an issue on both iPhone and iPad, but not on pc (Mac or Linux).

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!!!

As the title says, after the last update I’m getting a blank screen when I delete the current tab, normally I would get the Home Page with all my favourites and things

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.

Firefox for iOS version 127.0 (42448) deletes tabs when app is closed. The option to keep tabs when the apps is closed has been removed from the privacy menu. So how can I configure the app to keep tabs between sessions?

The button in settings/privacy/close tabs automatically has disappeared in firefox for ios v 127. It appears that I no longer have the option to keep my private tabs open which is very inconvenient
