Firefox mpo na iOS Community Forum

For some unknown reason, you guys decided to remove the “home” button from the Firefox browser app for IOS. I have been using a home button on my browsers for over 30 years now and by removing it you have rendered the Firefox browser unusable to me. Why try to fix something that wasn’t broken? I shouldn’t have to open a new tab every single time I want to go to my home page! Who thought this was a good idea? Just so you know, I will most likely be looking for an alternative browser to replace Firefox if this is going to be a permanent thing.

Why did you stop us from having items on the menu/toolbar!?! I use to have items on it that I would use all of the time and not I can’t. Why can’t I have the icon for my homepage? Why can’t I copy or save things? What about being able to print? What about the icon for my passwords like I have on my computer? We should have to choice to have them or not. How can I stop a new homepage from happening all the time especially when I don’t want nor need it? Why can’t I choose to got to my homepage without having to open up a new page?

Transient issue where the top of the page overlaps with the task bar (whatever it's called on the iPad) so the plus sign for new tab is under the iPad's battery indicator. Can't close tabs. Seems to happen when reopening the iPad, usually corrects after a few times of switching apps. It was happening when I was on the support page. I restarted FF, same result. Switched from this form to ipad settings to verify versions, came back and display was corrected. I haven't rebooted the iPad to correct the issue, if I have to do that more than once or twice I'll switch browsers. I never have one tab open, can't verify it happens then. I don't need a reply here, just figured if I was seeing it, something may need to corrected. I am willing, as time allows, to follow steps for troubleshooting if the issue recurs, if that's helpful. I can follow instructions reasonably well. Gani

I have an older iPhone and I run Firefox. You must have updated it because the homepage “house” icon in the bottom bar has disappeared. Settings still has the preferred homepage URL but there is no icon. This is unacceptable!!

My iOS app just updated with a new ui for the mobile settings menu. It'll take me some time to get used to this, but I'm not opposed to it. However, it also changed the order of the icons in the bottom toolbar so that tabs view is the fifth icon rather than the fourth, and the menu icon has been switched vice-versa. This has caused my muscle memory of using the app to repeatedly tap the wrong icon, which has turned my usage of the app incredibly sloggish. If Mozilla wants to change the default ordering of these icons, I don't care that much, but surely it seems prudent to give the end user an option to change the order back to the previously established pattern? Having the menu icon in the bottom-right-most location on screen feels the most natural to me.

Ya'll I'm begging you to go back to the previous UI design for the Firefox IOS app, the new one is a copy paste of google chrome and its awful, genuinely the old one was fine and didn't need fixing.

The new UI for Firefox mobile is now very similar to that of Safari’s. While some find it easier to use, I personally do not enjoy it, as the UI was one of the bigger reasons as to why I made the switch to Firefox. A simple tab in the “Appearance” settings would be more than enough.

I would like to change the ui back to the previous version on iOS, I use Firefox to do a lot of reading because the ui was clean and did not have a bar at the top of the screen like most other browsers. The most recent update has changed this as there are now multiple problems, the tab browser now blocks half the screen and the toolbar sticks out. The previous version ui functioned far better. Can you help me revert the ui back?

How can I revert to the old layout of Firefox? In the new update the settings button and the tabs button swapped places and I don't like it as it doesn't make sense. I also want to have the settings button open the scroll down menu on the right instead of coming up from the bottom of the screen as it doesn't make sense to have that occur.

Hello, the recent update which changed the positions of the “tabs” and meatball menus, as well as eliminating the homepage button, has made navigating the browser features much less intuitive. The now seeming lack of the option to return to my homepage from an open tab is quite frustrating.

This isn’t a bug or anything, just one long-time user’s experience and opinion. Thank you for your time!

Can we look at adding the ability to customise the bottum menu bar in firefox for ios.

previous the middle button use to be home but now has changed to search, it would be good to be able to customise at least the middle button depending on the functionilty required.

自分はiPadでFirefoxを使用しています。以前は常時画面左上にホームページに飛べるボタン（事前に設定したURLに飛べる家の形をしたボタン）があり、大変快適だったのですが、最近のアップデートによってUIが変更され、そのボタンが消えてしまいました。これによってかなりこのアプリは不便になり困っています。また、常時画面右上にあったブックマークしたリンクが並べてあるところにアクセスできる星型のボタンも消えてしまいました。これは運営が意図した変更なのでしょうか？他のユーザーもこの変更には困っていると思います。もしよろしければ、以前のようなUIに戻していただきたいです。また、これは要望になりますが、ブックマークしたリンクが並んでいるタブを開いてブックマークしたURLにアクセスしたときに、それを押してもそのブックマークタブが画面から一旦消えることなく恒常的に画面に表示されるようにしていただきたいです。そして、sprit viewを使用しているときにブックマークタブからブックマークしたURLに飛ぶとき、一旦そのブックマークタブを閉じないとサイトをスワイプしたりタップすることができなくなるような仕様にはしないでいただきたいです。常にブックマークタブが画面のどこかに表示され、常に画面に出して置けるようにUIを改善していただきたいです。よろしくお願いします。

After years of hoping for a dedicated new tab button in Firefox for iOS, my wishes were answered this morning when I installed the Firefox 140.2 on iOS. As explained in the release notes, there is "a sleeker, more intuitive Toolbar and Tab Tray — with smoother animations, simplified controls, and a modern look that feels right at home on iOS." What's more, it replaced the (IMO) useless "home" button with a BEAUTIFUL one-tap new tab button! I was overjoyed!

However, a few hours later, my Firefox UI has reverted back to the old way. It still claims to be on version 140.2, so I don't understand how that happened. As far as I can tell, there are no options within settings to get the new UI.

What happened, and how can I take advantage of the new UI?

I don’t seem to be able to add a Home Button within the Browser since it updated to the latest version. This is very frustrating as it gets used all the time. Please explain how I can add a home button.

Kind regards
