Firefox for iOS Community Forum

My Firefox on iOS shows the red padlock icon (not secure) while the pages are loading on the Verizon network. It doesn't occur if I switch to my home WiFi. First, I thought maybe it's a mixed content website (e.g. page with HTTP resources in it); however, the same thing happens on every Google search. It shows the red padlock until the page is fully loaded and then turns into secure padlock.

- WiFi with 1.1.1.1 DNS -> secure padlock - Cellular network(*) -> red padlock - Cellular network(*) + 1.1.1.1 app in full VPN mode -> secure padlock - Cellular network(*) + 1.1.1.1 app in only DNS mode -> secure padlock

If this is expected and the intent is to show that the DNS queries that are happening while the page is loading are not secure and causing a gap in the security, there should be another state of the icon (e.g. yellow icon) or a popup that explains it. It currently is not self-explanatory.

I don’t know what can be done I have reported this account problem for over 3 months and I still don’t have any resolution. I go to sleep and wake up and see that my IPHONE settings have been disabled and changed, apps that I have deleted are back up. I am constantly having to update my passwords. I try to log into my Apple account but it says that my phone number is already in use! I’m getting frustrated and I have no time for this issue any longer! Unless you can resolve this issue please do not contact me!

I was hacked first on Facebook, lost my Page Adestyne there and two other pages and the largest Rihanna public Group in the world…Rihanna Gallery. I received a pop up on Firefox, telling me to add a account i never used on Instagram, patrickbiel8…saying if i didnt activate it I'd lose my account, Adestyne, Patrick Biel.After doing so, i could no longer swich from Adestyne, to Rihannasadestyne, Michiganrihannanavy, or Michiganrihannanavy2. Now i cannot even log into those accounts on Instagram, only Adestyne and patrickbiel8.(Patrick Biel). I submitted over 8 requests to Instagram(Meta) about this problem and repeatedly asked them to Remove the account patrickbiel8 or delete it because the instructions from Meta is Not working. I have been hacked and need help from you asap.

Is it possible with the iOS app (128.3) to view values of cookies stored for a website? It doesn’t appear as though that is data that can be synced to desktop, either. (Would make sense for some browser-specific key:value) If it helps, I know the name of the cookie I’m specifically looking for.

With the last update of iPadOS 18 and Firefox I recognized, that when in background and when I switch between apps, the Firefox screen is showing a website with private information. It is always the same screen from a wensite where I had to put private information in. Even a restart with reset and a new installation of the firefox app does not change that.

In connection with the fact, that private browsing mode is not the default on ios this is concerning me. Firefox should be private first!

When in background the app switcher should show nothing from my browsing window. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Thank you for any help in this regard!

When I go into settings in Firefox for both iOS and on my MacBook Air, I can see some old saved addresses, but I’m not given any options to add, edit, or delete them. I can tap on the address, but nothing happens.

I’m using the latest versions of the operating systems and Firefox is up to date. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but that didn’t work either.

I don't know if this is a system wide iOS issue or something specific to Firefox, but I'm not able to disable link preview when long pressing a link. I was able to disable it in Safari which also disabled it in iMessage, but link previews are still showing up in Firefox and Firefox Focus. It's very surprising for a browser focused on privacy and security. I should not have to make a connection to another server in order to see the URL behind a link. Automatically downloading from an unknown URL opens my device up to zero day exploits and privacy violations. Does anyone know how to disable this completely or submit a bug report to Firefox?

/edit: moved thread from (desktop) Firefox to Firefox for iOS section.

When in private browsing, I am often asked to agree to website cookie policies before proceeding. What happens when I agree or disagree? Some sites make it easy to reject all, others don’t but what happens in Firefox if I agree in order to continue?

I used a Mozilla mask to hide my email when registering with a government agency account. All responses to my email mask from angency are unreadable: the sentences/ text responses and attachments are blocked out.

How I can remove the Mozilla subnet mask so I can read the content of my email?

Thanks!!

My Firefox app on my i phone brings up a message that says, " Your i phone has been hacked and 78 viruses have been found!" It says I have go to a link to get instructions to remove all viruses. I know it is a scam, so I will not go to the link. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Was the option to close privacy tabs removed recently? I would like to be able to save my tabs without losing them again. I only ask because I just like to organize my tabs instead of having all the tabs in one section.

Like the title says, just looking for an option in settings to delete all data on close for the IOS version. If there is not an option, what is the possibility of getting one in a future release? Thanks for any helpful responses.

How is it possible that such a glaring design error still exists after so many have asked for so long?

And to those commenting completely incorrect and unhelpful steps that lead to menus that don’t exist in the settings, WHY?

I’m bout to go back to safari. I love everything Firefox stands for but this is such a glaring oversight I can’t help but wonder what else is being missed.
