The latest iOS update seems to have messed with the Reading List function. I can no longer figure out how to add pages to my reading list or enter reading mode for articles.

Pages already in my reading list will open in reading mode and still have the “add to reading list” icon available, but if I exit reading mode I lose the ability to add it to my reading list or go back into reading mode. I also cannot enter reading mode or add new pages to my reading list from any new pages.

Before the current Version of Firefox for iOS one could insert a search item in the address field of the browser and tap Enter and the search quiry was being directly sent to the default search engine and indemediately the search result appeared. But now after hitting Enter the webpage of the search engine appears, i.e. Startpage, and I have to hit Enter again before getting the search results. Is this a bug or an annoying feature?

i recently got a new mac desktop and transferred over all my info from my older mac book

on my macbook i often use google docs as i am a collage student, and i often swap between 3-4 google accounts for school, work and personal use

this was never a problem with firefox on my prev machine, but now i am for some reason unable to open google docs on this computer and only recive a 400 error

i am able to access google drive, but trying to open any document returns an error 400. it is the same across all accounts

i tried troubleshooting mode as well as manually turning off all of my extensions, it did not fix the problem

i tried logging in on private mode and it DID work but i don't really want to be stuck in private forever

i did delete the app and re-download from safari but the problem persists

i also cleared all data from the past day from the browser itself, it had me log back into my google accounts but the docs remained non accessible

i think the issue might be with apple's application data for the firefox app, but i have no idea how to fix that without destroying something important

any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello there,

since the latest Updates, especially firefox 145 (63787) the performance in the tab overview is pretty bad. Closing a tab there needs up to 5 seconds. While the tab is closing the whole interface is unresponsive. switching between tabs from the overview results in the same performance issue. It does not matter if I swipe to close or close with the little "x". It always takes several seconds.

Seems to be a problem with the overview because switching between tabs by swiping the address bar is smooth.

I tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not solve the problem.

I'm using the latest firefox for iOS Version on an iphone 15 Pro with iOS 18.7.1

Thanks for your help.

I have found that over the last several weeks when trying to access sites that are local on my network from my iPhone or iPad like Jellyfin, Proxmox for example, that after every time I restart my device I will have to go into Settings and disable then re-enable the Local Network access setting for Firefox for it to load the site correctly. I do not have any issues getting to the sites when using Safari. This issue was first noticed in iOS 26.0.1 and has continued now that I am on 26.1. Firefox is currently on the latest version and has been updated many times throughout the weeks within a couple of days of the updates releasing. I do not have this issue when using Firefox on macOS.


-iCloud Private Relay is disabled completely for my devices. -Limit IP address tracking is turned off for my network. -Allow cross-website tracking is disabled in Settings for Firefox (and has always been). -Custom DNS servers are set at the router and issued directly. -I have signed out of Firefox, uninstalled the app and reinstalled a couple of times now with no changes.

I’ve been having issues with Firefox on iOS. As you can see on the screenshots, the URL bar section expands on blocks half off my screen. When I scroll down the URL bar is hidden and the issue disappears but when I scroll up the same issue returns. It doesn’t seem to be specific to a certain website and is really disruptive.

I’m using an iPhone SE, iOS version 26.0.1, Firefox is updated.

Hello. I get the following error message when I try and do a search on Google. Seems to be something new. Also happening on my ipad. I don’t recall changing any settings. Any help appreciated.

Google 403. That’s an error.

Your client does not have permission to get URL /search?client=firefox-b-m&q=screwfix from this server. That’s all we know.

Last night I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 26.1

Since the upgrade I'm unable to have Firefox play audio for a music stream I listen to when the phone goes to sleep/lock or if I use the app switcher to switch to another app, like Maps.

This wasn't happening yesterday when I was using my phone and listening to the same audio stream in my car with Maps open for navigation.
