Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Why there is a lot of adds on some apps, if you want to open first you must whatch the add and then the app will be opened, especially in boomplaying if you want to download a music the add come fast. So thats why?

Hi! I was given a link to scan my device for the ability to opt out of third party advertisement cookies and that scan said that I cannot block third party cookies because Firefox prevents it. (See attached photos from iOS apps and Windows 11 Desktop browser.)

Is that true? … as I was under the impression that your browsers were all over this topic and were helping us stop the tracking etc. and were lin compliance or we’re supporting the Digital Advertising Alliances opt out policies and principles? Or is this a Safari problem on iOS only since you have to build your browser around a Safari core?

The scan ran was from both Firefox Focus and Firefox apps on iOS 18.0.1 on an iPhone 11 and with Firefox desktop browser version 131.0.3 in Windows 11. If there is some setting that I am supposed to tweak so that my opt out choice from the DAA is hindered, then please let me know as I thought that I had already set up everything correctly to stop the tracking/ads.

I know you guys are doing great work, and keep it up!

HOw do I stay signed in to Firefox so I do not have to sign in everytime I open it? Also, I created a new password which is being rejected. Since I can see the password, I know its the right one.

Today, for no particular reason that I am aware of, Firefox has undocked my normal iOS full keyboard and started using a tiny little iPhone sized keyboard. How do I restore the normal default iPad keyboard?

None of the online instructions work. None. Why must it be impossible or so inhumanly difficult to simply disable the annoying and privacy-violating “Firefox suggestions” in the Firefox address bar on the iOS? When will you finally realize and accept that people should be able to use Firefox in social situations without having everyone around see one’s search history? Is this really difficult to understand? It seems that the knuckleheads at Mozilla product development lack even the most basic understanding of the concept of privacy. And yet Mozilla advertises its product with empty promises of privacy.

I can’t find the Auto-fill settings in FF on iOS. I found instructions here for where they should be and they are not there. Was this feature taken away recently. It’s VERY tedious not having this feature. Am I doing something wrong?

I have quite a lot of passwords stored in my iPhone. I would like to sync (or, if not possible, export) these passwords to my Firefox browser on the same iPhone.

Many thanks!

On my iPad when I tap on Menu Icon > History > Trash Icon > Everything, the tabs refresh/flash and then the order of the tabs change. For example,

Old tabs: 1 2 3 4 (active tab is 2) New tabs after clearing the history: 1 3 4 2 (active tab is now 3)

Is there a way to prevent this? I’d like to keep the original order of my tabs.

Regards.

The instructions are wrong and convoluted. How can I scan a QR code if it is on the iOS device???????? Mozilla just doesn't know how to get around the iOS limitations.

I will no longer use firefox on my iPAD if I can't sync my bookmarks from my Android/Windows bookmarks.
