Firefox fún iOS Community Forum

My wife recently ended up on a malicious site (onlineghostaccount.com) that appeared to cause Firefox to lock up. I think it trapped Firefox in an endless loop, because it wasn't even possible to close the tab or change to a different one. The only thing Firefox would respond to is a button on the malicious page that would take her to a scammer claiming to be Apple support. Fortunately, she didn't fall for it, but Firefox was rendered unusable for her until I could help her fix the problem. The quick fix to get Firefox operational again by closing Firefox, shutting off network access, and then re-launching Firefox so the malicious page can't load works, but is not helpful to non-technical people like my wife, because she doesn't understand what's happening or what to do about it.

My question is: Is there any way that Firefox could detect this type of "endless loop" behavior before the page loads, prevent it from loading, and popping a warning to the user?

Thanks! S.K.Ault

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.
