Firefox untuk iOS Community Forum

Hi! I am using MacOS Firefox and configured:

Delete cookies and site data when Firefox closes.

However I could not find this option in Firefox for IOS or iPadOS and therefore unwilling to use it on these platforms. I find it unconvenient manually deleting those data before closing and I hate foreign software installed on my devices.

Is there any settings I have missed?

How is it possible that even Edge - in addition to Orion - have implemented ways to include extensions within the iOS app, while the Firefox developers keep saying that they can't do it because of Apple restrictions?

Hi! So I have been using the firefox app on my ipad air for a while now and in the last few weeks the following issue has turned up: Regularly, but not always, the app opens a new tab any time I click on a link. Example: I use moodle for work and each time I want to get somewhere in my moodle classes, a new tab opens. When I give the app a fresh start, the issue resolves for a while but returns eventually. I have no idea why but I have to say that it is quite annoying when you have to scrool through tabs all the time. Hopefully, you will be able to help me out. Thank your for taking the time to understand my issue! Sandra

On iOS 18.6.2, the latest Firefox 144.2 keeps reverting my search engine back to Google, at least once daily. I set it to StartPage generally, but have found that any other search engine seems to revert to the Google default. Changing this setting usually is reverted within a few hours, but sometimes it may last a full day though. Can anyone help?

Hi, I’m using a iPad Mini 6 with the latest OS and a up to date version of Firefox. When logging into and trying to use Instagram the browser becomes completely unusable and locks the iPad and sometimes it’s so bad it restarts itself. I was wondering if it’s a known issue and being looked at? It’s been happening for quite a few months now ever since the video autoplay options where implemented.

Thanks for any help in advance :)

(PS: all other third party browsers work as intended on my iPad)

I am using an iPad. How do you stop firefox from opening a new tab when clicking on a link? I want to it to follow the link in the same tab almost always.

Thanks for you help!

Is there any way the recent changes to the browser on IOS can be reverted in a future update or at least have the option to change the layout ? The recent changes make absolutely sense and are frankly aggravating as a longtime user, It honestly feels like a joke to suddenly have the tab names below the tabs and the tab menu at the bottom of the screen. Duckduckgo is looking more tempting with every recent update :/

The browser won't open a Wall Street Journal article. When opened, the screen goes blank then says "A client-side exception has occurred."

The front pages of the WSJ open with no problem, but pulling up the selected article generates the above.

I don't know what happened, I was using the firefox app an hour ago and came back on to all my tabs gone. Poof into the abyss. I didn't clear anything or close any tabs, I'm not sure how this happened. I clear my history pretty frequently but haven't in a couple days. Even when I've cleared my history in the past, all my open tabs remained so I don't think there's a correlation? These tabs were NOT in the private section and unfortunately I want signed in on the app. I looked up to see if there had been any recent crashes and I didn't see anything. I'm honestly so devastated, I had some of these tabs for a year and they all important to me 😭 I tried to look on this forum for help but most of the answers, seem to be directed toward those who had this issue on a desktop. Again, I am using the firefox app on my iPhone.

Does anyone know if I can get them back? Or see if they went somewhere else. I literally have nothing opened in private that I can see, and like I said, all my tabs in the general tabs section have disappeared. Am I cooked or can this be restored? TIA!!

As of this Morning Wed 5th Nov 2025, message content in my eBay account wont display. Instead I am getting a Red Circle with a red bar symbol when I click on the Message title.

I’ve added Kagi as a custom search engine to Firefox for iOS. It works for about a day when searching in the address bar, but always reverts to the previously used built-in search engine (Google, DuckDuckGo, etc.) How can I get Firefox to stick with my custom search engine and stop reverting to the previously used built-in search engine?

Why does the iOS app keep changing my default search engine from Brave to DuckDuckGo?? I changed it to Brave search and I don’t want it using anything else. Why does it not keep this setting?

Search engines switches from Startpage, which I have added as an alternative browser, to either google or DuckDuckGo without prompting. App inactivity and swiping up to close Firefox both seem to prompt this behavior.

Only startpage and Wikipedia are enabled as alternative browsers, and all default ones are turned off.

Hello, I’ve recently switched to Firefox on my iPhone 13, running iOS 18.5. And for some reason I can’t seem to add bookmarks on my phone. I can add them fine on desktop but on my phone when I tap the “add a bookmark” star nothing happens.

I’ve been unable to find a simple way to disable A.I. suggestions in searches. I find this force feeding of A.I. suggestions ridiculous Thus, after ver 20 years I deleted Firefox from all my computer and phone.

Back in the days I changed from the Microsoft browser to Mozilla, to get away from updates that made no sense and that the Microsoft team couldn’t even explain themselves. Now unfortunately Im in the same place with Mozilla. To remove the Home Button makes no sense, whoever did it, will not be able to explain, what positiv has been achieved by doing it, and asking for help is a waste of time, as we don’t get any useful answer. Spending 1 hours looking through all material written by Mozilla on this subject, I even found a person writing “it was done to give the users easy access to their Home Page” and then I just had to check, that I wasn’t by mistake talking to Microsoft.
