Firefox displays pdf files very nicely, but how do I save the file to my download folder?

FF help says this is done by “clicking the download link” but I cant find any download links anywhere in the FF GUI, when the pdf is displayed.

I'm sure its there somewhere, but I just cant find it..

Help appreciated,

Cheers, Lars Bo

Is there a way of turning off the "start on homepage"? It claims it will only happen after a hour or so but it's almost every time. Surely there must be an option to turn this very annoying feature off.

Why can’t I find quartzbenefits.com on Firefox app? According to Quartz, its page is available for Firefox, too. Note: I used Firefox for a long time, and stopped after getting a new phone, and now I already have the Firefox app. There are a lot of changes now. I am using the app to access the benefits on quartzbebefits.com. The result 0?! I have signed up for an account with Firefox already. What else could prevent me from finding quartzbenefits.com?

On the current version of Firefox for iOS, I cannot download a PDF. If I long-press the link to access the PDF, it shows the correct preview and I click download, but it downloads some much smaller blank file. If I click on the link instead (to open it in Firefox), the “Share Page With” does not give the full list of save options I need to save the PDF. I can click Print and then pinch-zoom-out the PDF to open it in a way that allows me to save it, but that puts unwanted text in the header and footer. Isn’t there some way to simply download a PDF with Firefox on iOS!?

Command + F has suddenly stopped working. Other command functions (e.g., command + L) continue to work as expected, including cut/copy/paste. But command + F simply does not work (going to the menu and selecting the manually selecting the magnifying glass also still works, so it’s not something systemic with the search window, i wouldn’t think).

I posted a message on the App Store indicating the situation, and received a reply from the dev asking me to post my “report” here - not sure if this qualifies, though.

Hi,

I have opened a PDF file in the built-in viewer of FF, but I can't find a way to download it directly from the viewer. There's no download button/link/icon anywhere on iOS 13.6.1 (iPhone SE 1st gen), and the latest version of FF. I'm completely stucked because I can't open the PDF file again, for example by entering the URL in a new tab. I have it in the viewer and if I close the tab, I won't be able to open the file again because the URL had a lifetime, and it is expired now.

I can't believe the download function is missing in FF built-in PDF viewer/iPhone 2016/iOS 13.6.1. Any idea how I can do that? Thank you advance for your help. Regards

I have always been able to copy and paste a screenshot without it going to the clipboard. Now, this morning it's telling my screenshots are going to clipboard. My question is where is the clipboard. I am not happy and you might have just lost a customer.

When I have a pdf file displayed, there is no way to save it. I found a workaround on this forum (using share/copy and then paste in the files app), but this does not always work. Also in that thread, it was noted that the issue has been resolved, but this is also not (always) the case. Case in point: when traveling to Germany, because of corone, one has to register at einreiseanmeldung.de. This is a questionnaire, which in the end produces a pdf which has to be saved in order be be allowed access to the country. However, both the button giving access to the file and the displayed file itself give no way whatsoever to download it in FireFox for iOS (or rather iPadOS). Moreoever, one cannot just keep this tab open, as a link in the pdf has to be clicked to upload a test/vaccination result, and this link also cannot be opened in a new tab. In the end, due to the issues with FireFox, I had to reregister on this webpage (via a different browser), which may lead Germany to believe two people are entering and to send me double the forms.

Please add thus very basic functionality!

I followed instructions in the article recommended for this topic, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-saved-passwords-firefox-ios, to verify that "Save Passwords" and "Show in Application Menu," whatever the latter means, are already checked.

Nevertheless, Firefox does NOT ask me whether to save the password for a new site login, nor do these passwords appear to be listed in Firefox.

What am I doing wrong? Running Firefox 106.0 under iOS 15.7.1 (from app store) on iPhone 13 Pro. Please help! -- jclarkw

How do I prevent Firefox from openning app on my iPhone when clicking on link, or show a pop-up to ask if I want to open the app. There are hidden ads on a site that will always trigger when I tap anywhere and will open an app installed on my device.

Thank you, I appreciate your help!

I switched to a new phone and can no longer view my passwords and logins. The app prompts me for a 6 digit passcode but I don't know it or how to reset it. On my older phone, I viewed all my logins with touchID, but my new phone doesn't have that feature.

Mis-information, is not only detrimental to one’s credibility, but often effects real-world harm, further lowers quality of life.

Why Firefox insists upon the position that it’s browser-extensions are incompatible with iOS is inconceivable, not to mention dis-ingenuous.

Lately here have been issues surrounding character in relation to the Firefox brand, my former go-to, that have incrementally caused me to explore and develop new browsing tendencies.

And though this is certainly not a deal breaker, it is a lot like the straw that broke the camel’s back.

After recently updating Firefox I cannot open Facebook. Please provide a simple solution. I'm not a tech person. I alreay requested help from you and unless I missed something, I have not received a reply.

I have the latest version of Firefox installed on my iPhone 13 pro. When web browsing, if I go back to previous page it jumps to the top every time. Is there a setting for this?

Encountered odd scam attempt from a through site trying to pose as a tech security for iOS or Firefox while browsing on the Firefox app for IOS. It locks you out of being able to click anything on the app. So how do I defeat it and get use of the app back? Well first since Firefox remembers the last page you visited you can’t just close the app and open it again as you’ll see the scam again. So here are the steps I used:

1. DON’T PANIC. Calm down and take a couple breaths. 2. Now that you are calm place you phone in airplane mode. This will disconnect you from any networks. No data in =No data out. 3 Now open the Firefox app. The scam pop up that locked you out will appear. 4 Click the acknowledgement Okay. This is fine as it will immediately attempt to go to next page but since step 2 was done it can’t. 5 Now select the Tabs button at the bottom of the app and close that scam page. 6 Clear your cookies and site data for extra measure. 7 Take your phone out of airplane mode 8 Enjoy the fact that you have just outsmarted those fake tech support scammers

I have been accepted in the Neeva beta and I want to make Neeva my default search engine for Firefox on my iPhone. Neeva gave me a URL to go to in Firefox that would do this. The URL is:

https://alpha.neeva.co/search?q=%s&src=nvobar

But, after I enter that into the URL bar and hit go, FIrefox treats it as search terms and sends it to my current search engine (DuckDuckGo) as a search instead of going to the URL.

I can't seem to find away to make it go to the URL. I've even entered the URL into one of my notes applications and then clicked on it from that and that didn't work either because it expanded some of the characters.

How can I get Firefox to follow this URL?

Thanks.
