Firefox для iOS: форум сообщества

Hello and thank you. I have many open tabs in Firefox and would like to search among them instead of scrolling. If the instructions include press a certain button, please include a picture of the button or icon. Thank you for your help.

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for iOS forum.

I've been using Firefox for a good few years now, on my computer as well as my mobiles. After the latest update for my IOS (144.1 or 62735) and I've always loved the inactive tab system. I've noticed that some users have not shared my appreciation for it but as it has now been seemingly removed, (and I am unable to find anywhere in settings to toggle it back on) my tabs are now too many to efficiently traverse. Finding a specific tab is almost impossible.

Some of you may say, "Hey Truck, that's a you problem," and you'd be completely right! However since I do keep a lot of tabs on my mobile open and I don't close them down (because I usually go back and use them after the alloted 14 days) this is now an issue for me.

Wall of text aside, is there any chance that I may have overlooked in settings where to turn it on, and if not, could I please ask for that feature? Specifically Firefox IOS.

Many thanks, Truckmaster

Open tabs page keeps jumping to older open tabs and not the most recent. The screenshot I attached shows the open tabs page, there are more above this screenshot. This screenshot is the bottom, showing the most recent open tabs. Two versions ago, whenever I opened Firefox it opened two the most recently opened tabs… now with the latest iOS version it opens with an arbitrary old tab forcing me to scroll down to the bottom. Even if I just minimize the window to view another app, when I return to Firefox it jumps back to an old open tab again forcing me to scroll back down to the most recent. Needless to say, this is extremely annoying and I’m reporting it to you in hopes that you will come out with another update and fix the problem as soon as possible. Thank you very much..

When a I visit a website and need to get a security code, when I return to the page it has disappeared, so I’m not able to add the six digit number into the website to gain access. Thanks.

9/19/2026 Firefox Mobile 7.236.0.18 for iPhone 16e IOS 26.7.

This started happening about 3 weeks to 1.5 months ago. If I am on a tab that is NOT a New/Blank/Empty tab, and I close Firefox, or my phone goes to sleep, or I jump to another phone app. Then Firefox moves the active browser tab from the tab I am on "Cnn.Com" or any other site, to a Blank/Empty tab.

I have not actually experienced this next thing yet, I don't think... If I don't have Blank/Empty tab, then it will create a NEW tab to put me on.

This is VERY odd and I hate it very much. Thanks.

I upgraded to 143.2 on iOS 26.0.1, but I cannot access any swipe tab gestures, which I assume means I can just swipe left and right in address bar to move between tabs.

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.

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!

I can’t find how to “close tabs after one month”. Under Settings I don't find Tabs under General where I am directed to go. Is this feature still available? If so, where is it?

I want the multiple tabs back at the top. I haven't been able to follow any directions online because either I don't know what words/places are, or the place I'm supposed to click on doesn't exist. I'm using Chrome at the moment, but would like to go back to Firefox if there is an easy fix.

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).

The 'Open Private Browsing' shortcut from the app icon has been broken for years. Long-press on the Firefox icon → "New Private Tab" → it opens a normal tab instead.

Once inside the app, it now takes five taps just to start typing in a private tab:

Open Firefox Tap the tabs icon in the bottom-right Tap the mask/private icon at the top Tap the "+" to open a new private tab Tap one last time on the address bar to actually start typing

Address bar autocomplete doesn't work at all — not even for bookmarks or sites you visit often. You have to type the full URL every single time, including dots, hyphens and the extension. This causes constant typing mistakes.

You also can't open any bookmark directly into a private tab.

Private browsing has become so frustrating that it's basically unusable, and this has been going on for years. Private mode is one of Firefox’s most important features. These basic issues really need to be fixed.

I switch between Firefox and other apps multiple times each time I use the browser. A new tab opens each time I return to Firefox and it is becoming increasingly annoying. I’ve been unable to find a setting that will remedy the situation. Is there a way to keep a new tab from opening each time I open Firefox?

Since updating, I can't rearrange the tabs. When I press and hold a tab, the preview expands and some menus appear, but I can't move them by dragging them. I use iPhone12.
