Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Hello,

I believe that the latest update either has a bug or a new feature that I don’t like. In the past when I went to the homescreen from a search or a website and closed and reopened the browser then it was still in the homescreen. However now when I do the same it always opens the latest search or website that I was in. I would like to have a setting to turn this off unless I missed the setting for it. I would like to add a video of me demonstrating this but for some reason you only have option to add pictures.

Kind regards, Simo

On Firefox browser for iPhone, version 142.1, when I click on a link to a PDF the browser use to open the PDF in a new tab where I could view it and download it, if I wanted. Now when I click on a link to a PDF the browser opens a new window and a dialogue pops up at the bottom of the screen with the name of the PDF and a button that says “Download”(see attached photo #1). The PDF does not load for viewing. If I close the dialogue box, the page remains blank and I have to close the tab. If I select “Download” a file is downloaded to my Firefox downloads folder (see attached photo #2) but the file doesn’t load anything for viewing on Firefox (see attached photo #3) or any other PDF viewing app I have on my device (which includes Adobe, Documents, Dropbox, & more). I have gone through all of the settings on the Firefox app and my device and I have nothing related to PDFs. I would like for the app to treat PDFs like it did before, open them in a new tab for viewing with the option to save/download to my device. How can I make this work?

IOS on IPad. Every click opens content in a new tab rather then the current tab. If I close the app and reopen I might get a few minutes of normal click behavior where clicking content opens in in the same tab, then it goes back to opening new tabs.

I have already done the below troubleshooting: Open Firefox: on your iOS device. Tap: the three-lines menu button (the "3-bar" menu) on the right side of the address bar. Scroll down: and tap Settings. Tap: Homepage. Under Opening Screen, select Last Tab.

Thanks,

In the past couple days I've run into an issue where Firefox on my iPad signs me out of all my accounts on various websites. It doesn't happen immediately when I close it, but if I log into one of my accounts and leave the iPad to sit for an hour or so, I'll find I'm logged out when I open it again. I'm not encountering this problem with Firefox on my other devices or with Safari on my iPad (I'm using two browsers for sites where I have two accounts).

I've seen answers to similar problems talk about going into cookies settings, but it seems the settings menu is configured differently on the mobile version from the desktop version. The screenshot shows the one menu I could find that mentions cookies. I switched it to not clear cookies, but I think this is about choosing data to clear on this particular screen, rather than what is cleared on closing. Either way, it didn't help.

Any ideas what's happening and how to get it back to normal?

I have never used autofill for credit cards but two cards (frequently used) showed up in Saved Cards in Settings and I deleted them. My current issue is that I went to a website I have never been to before to buy a ticket and my new credit card's data autofilled! Where is that being saved and how do I delete it?

In the current version of Firefox on my iPad, running the latest version of iOS, the “Reading List” option no longer appears on my menu. How to I make it reappear?

I used to browse on Firefox on my iPhone, and when I wanted to delve into a tiny page I would send it to my computer's Firefox. That capability seems to have gone away. Is there still a way to do that? I have tried turning Desktop Site on but that doesn't seem to do anything. Help!
