Firefox Focus Community Forum

can one link the Mozilla focus app with the other Mozilla Firefox app? I want my Mozilla logins, bookmarks, and account info to be also available in the Mozilla focus app

i typed this out in another threads comment, but it was marked "solved" and wasn't updated so im posting my own thread question.

I also frequently have issues loading pages when i have all the enhanced privacy protection settings enabled to prevent tracking on firefox focus. It seems to break websites that use lots of javascript and tracking/fingerprinting. So how can I have these privacy settings turned on but still load pages ???

Cuz right now I just have to turn all the privacy protections off to load some pages, which is annoying and kinda defeats the purpose of Firefox Focus for me, because I use it as my alt quick search browser for things i don't need to save or open more than 10 tabs with, and i also want to be private by default and still be able to load pages.

I don't have a specific example right now but I can definitely say that news sites like CNN, NYT, etc that have lots of tracking/ads/javascript are not usable. and turning off privacy settings just to read some articles is not good. I want more options than just rawdogging javascript/tracking sites without protection to get it to load.

Also sites that require cookies to be enabled completely refuse to load and show an error. So how can I solve these problems without turning off all privacy settings??

or what are the steps to take when a page breaks and can't load bc of no cookies enabled or one of the enhanced privacy settings conflicting with the page loading? is there a gradually change settings order to do that will allow the page to load without sacrificing all of privacy?

Thanks in advance and sorry for hijacking this thread. I will copy my text and submit my own issue. I am also thinking about becoming a contributor and this answer would be very very valuable to help others bc i know this is a big issue and some clarity on it would go a long way in marketing focus as a great lightweight privacy focused browser that doesn't break most pages....when theres no easy/obvious solution then people tend to abandon using it....

Can someone describe to me how you can open multiple tabs from the Browser starting page? All I see is the top search bar which takes me to Google. But what do I do if I wanna do another search in another tab? Most other browsers simply have a clearly visible button to open another tab but I can‘t find it on Firefox Focus. Online it says there‘s supposed to be a + in the top right corner but it isn‘t there on the picture below and it also doesn‘t appear once I do a search.

Pretty straight forward I signed[into my Mozilla account it told me I could at à device by simply hitting sign in and then ready to scan but I'm already signed on on mobile and when I try and hit sign in it does absolutely nothing

I currently have a subscription with DuckDuckGo, I’ve asked their customer support if I can cancel and get refunded so I can subscribe to Firefox, I just renewed today. I’m not seeing subscription details anywhere on this app, I don’t even know if I’m supposed to download Firefox iOS, or Firefox Focus, lol, I had researched best private browser earlier and Firefox pops up as #1, it also said NordVpn was optional through Firefox, don’t see that anywhere either, I’m lost😅. Need help thank you for your time and patience.

I am constantly getting messages in quick messages to clear my search history! This is supposed to happen automatically when i close the site and in fact sais it has been cleared. I cant ever find the last sites i visited but it is rather disturbing to think that someone is seeing my search history without my authorization! So tell me squarely ,why do i keep getting that disturbing message?

SCENARIO: One or more tabs are currently open and the user wants to open a new one.

CURRENT BEHAVIOUR: It seems that a user can only open a new tab by long pressing on a random link found on an open tab/web page and choosing "Open link in private tab" from the pop up menu.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: A user should be able to open a new tab from the expanded tab count pop up next to the address bar, perhaps above/below "Close other tabs". The tab count should be displayed even when there's only just one tab open; in this case the "Close other tabs" option should not be displayed.
