iOS ற்கான பயர்பாக்ஸ் Community Forum

hi!

apologies if this has already been brought up. i tried searching for it but i don’t really know what to call it so i can easily have missed it.

for a while now my firefox app has hidden my open tab when i leave the app, like it previously only did in private tabs. i’ve attached a screenshot to show what i mean. is this a new privacy feature and can i turn it off? i’ve tried to look through all my settings and uninstalled and reinstalled the app (in case it was a bug) but it still does this. i used to rely on getting a quick look at my open tab while flipping through apps so how it’s now hidden all the time is really inconvenient for me.

thankful for any help with this!

Exact same problem as reported in 2025: "My Firefox on iPhone has a malware that pops up a box urging me to call a phone number (which I won’t do) about a payment. It has Cancel and Ok buttons, both of which trigger another box from the dialer containing the same phone number. I cannot get to the FF settings or escape from that page because the pop ups immediately come back and reload the page. " Only difference from OP is the server url is recipes33-16045505ea03 . herokuapp . com

The posted solution was to reset history, but I can't get to that or any other controls or the url bar - canceling just reloads the page before I can initiate any action. A similar post suggested installing Malwarebytes but that requires enabling extensions which, again, I can't get to.

Right now Firefox is bricked by this and I have to use Safari :-(

as shown in the picture i can't see the webpage anymore when i want to switch to another app. How can i turn this off because it is starting to get really annoying

On iphone, I noticed when i swipe out of the window to look at another open app (i dont close firefox when doing this) firefox puts up some kind of privacy screen that prevents me from seeing what i was browsing. is annoying because sometimes i need to compare what i’m looking up with another open app like in my photos or something. It’s also visually annoying when i just pull down the control bar to mess with a setting and it privates the screen. Can i turn this off? This happens in normal tabs, I don’t typically use private tabs nor am i in one when this happens.

I’m recently unable to see the content of my regular Firefox screen when switching apps. For example, I’ve looked something up while searching in Firefox and want to type some of the details in Claude I get a privacy screen like I would with Firefox Focus or my banking app. I don’t want that. I want to be able to quickly view it slightly behind and then go back to my other app rather than put complete focus on Firefox. If I wanted the privacy screen I would use Focus.

See in the provided picture that Safari is showing me the content, Firefox isn’t, while I’m trying to do some work in Claude. I would like to have Firefox do the same as safari and show the content.

Is there a toggle to turn this off? Can one be made? Or what am I missing?

Thanks

This feature is great and easy to use for Firefox (desktop). Would be nice for mobile too!

If it was added to Firefox (iOS), I'd switch from Brave which I'm using currently. Thanks in advance.

On my iphone 17 (ios 26.3.1) Firefox is stuck on a malicious website and will not allow me to access the menu, delete the website, or move to another. There is no clear data on the listing in settings/apps/firefox. Is deleting and reinstalling the app my only option?

So the main reason I use Firefox instead of Google or other browsers is because it specifically *doesn’t* have AI features, since AI storing my information is a privacy/security risk that I am not interested in taking. Firefox is one of the only browsers out there that isn’t annoyingly pushing for AI to be integrated into every single aspect of the service. I’m not interested. I don’t want it. Mozilla, you’re wasting your time and money integrating features that your users DO NOT WANT. Please allow users to press one button to disable machine learning features instead of burying the switches in about:config. I don’t want AI on my browser.

My Firefox on iPhone has a malware that pops up a box urging me to call a phone number (which I won’t do) about a payment. It has Cancel and Ok buttons, both of which trigger another box from the dialer containing the same phone number. I cannot get to the FF settings or escape from that page because the pop ups immediately come back and reload the page. The site looks like appleinstantsupportpays[.]z13[.]web[.]core[.]windows[.]net. All of the online advice relates to FF on Windows or Android. How do I clear the malware from my phone?

Hi, I'd really appreciate help. I got this pop-up on my Apple phone. (Don't remember what I was searching for that landed me here.)

Firefox is completely disabled - can't click move to another Firefox window or anything. And I don't want to click OK.

The only solution I could come up with was to delete Firefox from my device - but it is still backed up in my icloud.

Do you recommend deleting it from my iCloud back-up & then consider trying to reinstall Firefox?

Anything else you can recommend for me to review on my device to see if malware is deposited elsewhere on my device - not just in Firefox?

Thanks...

I’ve dowloaded firefox. i’ve read the tutorials for browsing setting private browsing but the “masked symbol never appears to click. I tried to download from “App Store” the Private Mode but indicated I had it and back to square one. I like it on my desktop bur can’t on my iPhone 11 Pro Max updated to highest release of IOS
