I've done a bit of searching and I'm surprised nobody else seems to be discussing this issue.

It appears to be related to the fact that, if I haven't visited a tab in more than a few minutes, when I reopen that tab, Firefox reloads the page. I completely understand why this is done, and I still think it's a poor choice. Half the time it takes me away from the actual page or content I was looking at, and starts me over from the entry point (think infinite scroll type pages). There's a refresh button for a reason. Do less, Firefox.

But the problem I'm having is that this auto-refresh feature is broken. About 10% of the time, it just shows me the tab home page. It doesn't even reload the site. The address is not in the address bar. The refresh button is grayed out. Sometimes, if I wait long enough (30-45 real, actual seconds - feels like a very long time), the page will load. Sometimes. Most of the time I have to go into my history and re-open the tab that way. Sometimes it will go from the home page to a blank white screen, as if it's about to load the page, and then stalls there - again, nothing in the address bar, refresh button is grayed out. Depending on how far it got in this process, I may be able to swipe down to initiate a refresh, and if that works the page will usually load from there.

Is there a setting where I can disable this auto-refresh feature? Can I extend how long it keeps the cached page? Can I make it so that when I re-open the tab, I'm reliably back where I was? I thought that was the purpose of tabs?

Help?

I always use Firefox as my default browser on my iphone. Suddenly it’s stuck in desktop mode. I can see how to turn that off in Safari settings, but nowhere in Firefox settings. Using goohle as search engine

Is there any information on if the new EU regulations on side loading / alternative app stores will allow for non WebKit based browsers on iOS and iPadOS?

I keep hoping a way will pop up to get extensions working on iOS and iPadOS, and it seems being unbound from Apples App store may also bypass the WebKit regulation. Does anyone know more information about this?

Hi It seems the latest ff update for iOS now shows a dialogue (not sure what the correct name is) every time I close a tab. The dialogue is “Tab Closed Undo”. It appears for a few seconds and then disappears. Much in the same fashion as every time take a photo on my iPhone there is a thumbnail of the pic I just took.

I absolutely hate these things. I either have to wait until they go away on their own or I have to waste time swiping them away. I know Mozilla is only responsible for the Tab Closed Undo dialogue.

Is there someway I can disable this new “feature”?

Thanks so much.

I've noticed a large increase in ads in Firefox for iOS. Seems like it started about 6 months ago. The worst is Google ads that overlay functional parts of a website. Example is the home page and 10 day forecast page of wunderground.com.

The problem is definitely in Firefox. Firefox Focus doesn't suffer from these ads.

Thanks, Jeff

Hi, thanks in advance for the help.

My case is simple but I have no ideia the WHY is happening. I use google as a search engine but after a few days, it changes automatically to Yahoo (wich i dont like) and i have to go to preferences and change it back to google. This has been repeating for a few months and I'm a bit fed up of it, so, is there any way to keep google permamently?

Also it is curious that if I restore the default seach engines, it does not appear yahoo, and even if i delete all, and only keep google, keeps on happening again.

I'm an apple user and I also have Firefox since forever on the Iphone and Ipad too and no problem with this ones.

Again, thanks

We just got new apple 14 phones. The vpn had to be reinstalled on the (3) phones, but now other apps won’t open with the vpn on. I have also had issues if I am not on Wi-Fi using apps. Are there settings we can’t figure out that are the issue?
