Turning off sync in ios
I used sync to load bookmarks and passwords on my iPad from my Mac Firefox installation. I then turned off sync on both devices, but the iPad keeps notifying me that it has connected to sync. I logged into my Mozilla account on both the Mac and the iPad, went to connected services, and clicked sign out next to the device name. This just loops me back to an account signin page, and when I work my way back to connected services it still show the device as connected. Also, the connection is showing “Firefox 137, macOS 10.15” for a Mac Mini running Sequoia. There have been other problems with switching to Firefox on my iPhone and iPad, too, with bookmarks (destinations for bookmarks don’t match up, so they are hard to access), and with passwords (on an iPad running iPadOS 17, I needed to shut off use of Apple passwords and use Firefox saved passwords but could find no way to do it). I know that Apple has restricted Mozilla’s ability to program Firefox for iOS, but I’m wondering if it’s wise to offer a version so crippled—compared to versions for not only macOS, Linux, and (I assume)Windows—that many of Firefox’s good features are compromised.
