Firefox Focus Community Forum

I noticed that the X platform has gained access to my Apple account even into the cloud using a sign in with X set up I think I’ve deleted it all, but what I want to know is has it gained access to my Firefox and proton accounts and if so how can I protect myself

Hello Mozilla Community,

After updating my iPhone to iOS 26.5, I experienced an issue where certain icons and symbols in Safari were displayed as empty squares (□) or the symbol name (e.g. Chevron Right) instead of rendering correctly.

After some troubleshooting, I found that the issue appeared to be related to the Firefox Focus Safari extension. When I disabled and removed the Firefox Focus extension and then restarted Safari, the symbols displayed correctly again.

This suggests there may be a compatibility issue between the Firefox Focus Safari extension and iOS 26.5, potentially affecting font or icon rendering on websites.

Could you please let me know if this is a known issue and whether there is a fix or workaround available?

Device: iPhone 12 Mini iOS version: 26.5 Firefox Focus version: 151.3.1 (72936)

Thank you for your help.

Hello. I would like to know if there any plans for Firefox Focus to have a complete dark mide option (ie force websites to display a dark background)? I think it might be a bit easier on the eyes and possibly battery in certain situations.

Thanks

There is currently a button to "Open in Firefox" in Focus, but this only opens the tab in private mode. It would be nice to have the option of just opening in a regular tab.

I want to block some specific websites from force-opening from a game app I use. The app uses ads to make its money. I accept that ads exposure within the app is the price I pay for playing the game , but object to the ads force-opening windows separately in my browser. Can I block them?

Question: the homepage shows the number of blocked trackers and a SHARE button. To Whom one should share this information with? Mozilla? What is intent of this SHARE feature? The reporting of trackers to websites, as to remove them from their websites? Like the idea of this feature, but not sure what the actual purpose is for? No reference information to SHARE usage inside the app?

Thx, JMH :)

i typed this out in another threads comment, but it was marked "solved" and wasn't updated so im posting my own thread question.

I also frequently have issues loading pages when i have all the enhanced privacy protection settings enabled to prevent tracking on firefox focus. It seems to break websites that use lots of javascript and tracking/fingerprinting. So how can I have these privacy settings turned on but still load pages ???

Cuz right now I just have to turn all the privacy protections off to load some pages, which is annoying and kinda defeats the purpose of Firefox Focus for me, because I use it as my alt quick search browser for things i don't need to save or open more than 10 tabs with, and i also want to be private by default and still be able to load pages.

I don't have a specific example right now but I can definitely say that news sites like CNN, NYT, etc that have lots of tracking/ads/javascript are not usable. and turning off privacy settings just to read some articles is not good. I want more options than just rawdogging javascript/tracking sites without protection to get it to load.

Also sites that require cookies to be enabled completely refuse to load and show an error. So how can I solve these problems without turning off all privacy settings??

or what are the steps to take when a page breaks and can't load bc of no cookies enabled or one of the enhanced privacy settings conflicting with the page loading? is there a gradually change settings order to do that will allow the page to load without sacrificing all of privacy?

Thanks in advance and sorry for hijacking this thread. I will copy my text and submit my own issue. I am also thinking about becoming a contributor and this answer would be very very valuable to help others bc i know this is a big issue and some clarity on it would go a long way in marketing focus as a great lightweight privacy focused browser that doesn't break most pages....when theres no easy/obvious solution then people tend to abandon using it....

I have been using Firefox Focus for private browsing and overall it works well, but I’ve noticed that on some websites it doesn’t seem to block all trackers or ads properly. In a few cases, pages also reload or behave differently compared to other privacy-focused browsers. I want to understand if this is normal behavior, a settings issue, or if there is something I can do to improve tracking protection. Any guidance on how Firefox Focus handles blocking on different sites would be really helpful.
