Firefox для iOS: форум сообщества

Hi, I’m a new user of Firefox on iOS and after being impressed with Mozilla/Firefox privacy commitments,, I decided to use it as the default browser on my iOS mobile on the latest Apple’s software update but unfortunately, I’m unable to even visit safe and known websites mainly because everytime I fall prey to the endless google image verification captcha but never been able to see any of their images - bus, cars, hydrants or anything for that matter. This has resulted in disappointment for me as I tried even dialling down on my privacy controls to standard from strict but to no avail. I have consented for the technical team to share the analytics of what has happened and offer a solution. I am also posting it here as I could not see any features where I could directly drop an email to the Mozilla/firefox devs and technical teams . Keep up the hard work you are doing to keep us safe online but please try to get the browser spot on with iOS . Unfortunately I have now changed my default browser as safari and downloaded Firefox focus to offer some browser protection by toggling on the extension.

All have a nice day!

Why does Firefox mobile for iOS look different on my iPhone 13 pro max vs my wife's iPhone 12 pro max? both UTD on iOS version. I suspect that I must be missing something in settings, but cannot figure this out. See images below.

On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Firefox app has the nice home button, tab button, and hamburger menu button on the bottom (address bar on top both cases). On my wife's iPhone 12 Pro Max, it has the "+" for new tab, the 3 dots instead of hamburger menu, and then the tab button. I much prefer the layout on my phone, as does my wife, but I cannot figure out how to change her layout to match mine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

When using the native translation tool in Firefox for iOS to translate an English page (specifically tested on Wikipedia) into Portuguese, the translation is incomplete and inconsistent.

This behavior mostly occurs inside collapsible sections (the topics that expand and collapse when you tap the arrow icon). The translation failure is not just on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis; it often occurs partially within the same section, where some sentences are successfully translated while others right next to them remain entirely in English.

Ios 18.7.8(22H352) Firefox 152.4(74210)

Steps to reproduce:

   Open Firefox on iOS.

   Navigate to an English Wikipedia article (mobile view, which uses collapsible sections).

   Trigger the built-in Firefox translator to translate the page to Portuguese.

   Expand one of the sections using the dropdown arrow.

Expected result:

The entire text, including all sentences and paragraphs inside the expanded sections, should be fully translated into Portuguese.

Actual result:

A broken, partially translated layout where some sentences/paragraphs are translated, but others immediately below (or within the same block) remain in the original English.

(Note: Please attach your screenshot showing the open section with the arrow and the mix of Portuguese and English text).

I am attempting to copy apps from my iPhone to an new android tablet. It wants me to open Safari and use it, but I do not have Safari, it was removed when I downloaded Firefox. What do I do now? Is it actually on the Mozilla site? And, if so, where might I find it on the Mozella site?

On iphone, I noticed when i swipe out of the window to look at another open app (i dont close firefox when doing this) firefox puts up some kind of privacy screen that prevents me from seeing what i was browsing. is annoying because sometimes i need to compare what i’m looking up with another open app like in my photos or something. It’s also visually annoying when i just pull down the control bar to mess with a setting and it privates the screen. Can i turn this off? This happens in normal tabs, I don’t typically use private tabs nor am i in one when this happens.

I have been using Firefox on my iPhone for years without problems. But for about a week now if I’m on data it can’t load any websites, a message appears saying it cannot connect to server. It works fine when I’m on WiFi.

I cannot find the menu item on my mobile device to sync my Firefox account. When I select "menu" it doesn't have that as an option; it only shows me other topics I have used Firefox to search.

I’m recently unable to see the content of my regular Firefox screen when switching apps. For example, I’ve looked something up while searching in Firefox and want to type some of the details in Claude I get a privacy screen like I would with Firefox Focus or my banking app. I don’t want that. I want to be able to quickly view it slightly behind and then go back to my other app rather than put complete focus on Firefox. If I wanted the privacy screen I would use Focus.

See in the provided picture that Safari is showing me the content, Firefox isn’t, while I’m trying to do some work in Claude. I would like to have Firefox do the same as safari and show the content.

Is there a toggle to turn this off? Can one be made? Or what am I missing?

Thanks

Noticed that Firefox on IOS was updated about 17 hours ago, so that may explain the current issue. When I open the app on my phone, it will be on the page I was last on, but would be frozen. Cannot add a new tab. Cannot add an address to in address bar. Nothing can be done u til I force quit the app, and then reopen the app afterwards (as long as I give it a couple seconds afterwards). Didn’t have this issue the day before.
