Firefox kwa iOS Community Forum

It seems since the last major system update on my iphone11 pro max (512G), firefox (my primary browser) has been… weird.

Long keypress delays (inconsistent; about 1/3 of the time as bad as 3s to over 10s!); I notice these to a much lesser extent on other browsers, but also on other browsers (why I’m singling out the iOS 18.1 release behavior changes; currently: iOS 18.3.2)

Frequent “crashes” (app simply closing) in the middle of activity);

Scroll unresponsiveness, similar in occurrence and delay times to keypress issues;

I have wondered if I’m having: • malicious software problem (?) • hardware intermittent failures (my battery needed replacement, which I’ve recently done and many things on the phone operate better, likely better use of multi-cores) • iOS software depending on new chips, and iphone 11 not having - software solution w/in iOS which is… inadequate

One thing I’ve noticed which is consistent (something I have not used before these behaviors, but partly this - and phone reboots - because of it):

Attempts to close all tabs consistently, always fails.

Any help appreciated.

Running an iPhone 16. A few months ago there was a change in how images appeared when doing a search on Firefox. I use DuckDuckGo, but the same issue has also occurred when I’ve tried Bing on Firefox. When I do an initial search, say for a song I’d like to hear, the pictures will come up correctly. But then when I click on the specific item I want to listen to, the picture becomes a negative of itself. It is not an iPhone issue as this does not occur when I use Safari or Edge.

Thank you!
