The IOS home button placement is by in large the dumbest idea I’ve seen on a web browser to date. For years the refresh button has been right there exactly where its perfectly useful, easily accessible but not in the way as I use the refresh button fairly often for various reasons. But now its the home button, a feature I've never used and a feature I can’t think of a particular use for. Which is fine I’m not the only user in the world I don't expect that every feature can be tailored exactly to my tastes, I'll just pop into the settings disable the home button and move the refresh button back to where it works best for me like on desktop... but I can’t do that for some gods forsaken reason, don't get me wrong I understand app development is difficult but I for a fact you can make adjustable menus in IOS, I've personally done it for a college project.

And yes, yes I'm aware you've added the pull down to refresh function which is neat i guess but utterly useless when I'm 8 miles down a page and I subconsciously hit the home button since its where the refresh button use to be and now whatever i was looking at is buried once more in the bowels of the internet with no way to just hit a back button to return to that page. Its beyond dumb, so be smart either move it back or make a way for people to put it back.

Recently, the font and images suddenly get VERY big. What is happening? Am I doing something? I don't know how to make them smaller, to go back to the default size. I then have to open a new tab and reboot the page. This even has my computer helper guy baffled. I am a 76 year-old somewhat computer-savvy woman. This is driving me crazy! I tried one trick offered here of holding control and zero together. That did nothing. Please help

I'm at my wits end. I am not a computer person, so a lot of the explanations on the help pages make little sense to me. I spent hours this weekend trying to figure this stuff out to no avail. I'm guessing my firefox version updated sometime in the last week on my iphone because all of the sudden all my settings are messed up.

Firefox no longer opens to my homepage (even when I identify a homepage url for it to open). It no longer closes windows when I quit the browser, in fact it leaves several windows open forever until I manually close them. This is why I left safari, when I close the application I'm done. I don't want to start at the last website I was on or leave windows open. Firefox now appears to turn every website I visit into a shortcut! And to top it off there is no easy way to turn any of these "features" off.

Apparently if I tap and hold the "Firefox Daylight 38.1 (6216)" five times there is a list of settings that can be adjusted (. . . why would you hide settings like this)? But these setting make no sense.

For example: "Debug: Toggle Start at Home: OFF"

Does "on" mean "on" or "off"? Because I appear to get the opposite results of what the standard definition of these words normally suggest on some of the settings, but the normal meaning on others.

All I want is for firefox to: 1) open on my homepage (or any consistent page at this point) every time I open it. 2) quit leaving windows open when I close the app. 3) quit going to the last page I visited on the internet next time I open the browser 4) quit creating a shortcut for every site I go to on the internet 5) it would be nice if it would clear my history without me having to manually do it every time, but I don't want to get greedy.

Basically, I want whatever version was on my phone last week that worked.

Hi guys, I find a website useful and safe, I accidentally have responded to "block" for the response Allow notifications in [https://ananchor.com|https://ananchor.com] Now, after many trials and searches in google I cannot access the site. It is always giving the message, The site is being blocked. I hope you can help me further

I cannot change my preferences at all because I cannot get a preference menu from the Firefox banner button. I click on it, I use my Command, keys I have tried and tried, asked a question, asked again, tried to file a bug report and was waylaid back here. Sadly, after 22 years of using Firefox, I must go over to Safari! Please notify me when you fix this issue so I can set my preferences and use my favorite radio station.

Hi, I'm trying to use a Project Manager called Ajera, it is instructing me to install Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant which I think I did, but the site still will not work correctly as per attached screen shot.

Outside swapping my browser to Google Chrome I may need some help from you guys.

Thanks Karl

Anything close to this problem already posted here has zero responses or solutions. But I guess I'll try in hopes of something coming of it. :(

I opened my Firefox for iOS browser on my iPhone 12 Pro this morning, and when creating a new tab, I noticed all my open tabs were missing. When trying to find my Library to view Sync'd devices, the Library tab no longer exists. When opening the three bars Menu button, Bookmarks, History, Downloads and Reading List are listed. But not Synced tabs. All articles found on Mozilla.org are outdated and do not reflect the current browser/s (both iPhone and iPad).

When trying to access Synced tabs on my laptop, I'm able to do so as normal. However, it only displays the one single (most recent) tab on my iPhone. Which kinda negates the point of Sync, no?

So, my questions:

1. Is there at all a way to retrieve the lost tabs? 2. Why did this happen in the first place? 3. What is the point of Sync if it updates right after a catastrophic change and prevents fixing or retrieving anything? 4. Does the Synced Tabs section no longer exist on iOS versions of Firefox? (Online articles should reflect this change at the very least.)

Additional info:

I followed a QR code for Ford.com's virtual tour of the new EV F-150. When going to that site, the virtual tour worked perfectly. The site also wants to open in the Google app. I ignored that request a couple of times. Then, to test the AR version further, I installed the Google app, followed the QR code again, and allowed it to open in the Google app. However, I believe the site was temporarily not working as neither the AR version in the Google app, or the virtual tour on Ford.com within the Firefox for iOS browser would fully load anymore. I stopped trying and went back to my day.

When trying again this morning to see if the site had been fixed, both the virtual tour at the website within Firefox for iOS and the AR version within the Google app worked perfectly. However, this is when I noticed only one tab open within my Firefox browser.

The only tab left open was the last one I used last night while cooking dinner (looking for an oven temp for our food). This seems to either mean losing all the tabs occurred some time before I searched for the oven temp, or... they could've been lost at any point after yesterday afternoon and it only retained the last, more recent tab used since.

Happy to provide any more info if needed. But I've exhausted all attempts at finding an answer. Hopefully someone can help track down this cause.

Within the last few days my firefox app on my iphone has stopped functioning correctly. When I open a new tab, instead of opening it right next to the previous tab, it opens them at the bottom. It gets weirder because moving tabs around causes those previous tabs to potentially appear where they should but other tabs are also moving around weirdly as well. I've had tabs at the bottom appear at the top, tabs in the middle move to the bottom, and a general weirdness to where tabs are and where they're getting moved to when I move other tabs.

I've also been able to initiate multiple crashes when I move a tab that's been moved to the top while I was moving another tab that was supposed to be at the top back up there, to the bottom where the tab originally was at the very bottom. If I had to describe it, it's like the app is having problems knowing where tabs are supposed to be or which tab is where.

Both the app and the iphone 6 are to the latest updates of both the OS and the firefox app (I'd argue the problems probably started around the time the firefox app updated but it autoupdates so I can't be certain).

I don't know what happened but after years of loving firefox and using it every day I am now deleting it. I don't want Yahoo as my search engine. It doesn't work as well as google and I can't figure out how to get goggle back. So I'm going back to Safari. As much as I don't like it at least it lets me set google as my search and home page. And I have contributed in the past. Not a lot but I have contributed money.

Hi, I just downloaded an update for Firefox for iOS (my iPhone 7 is running iOS 14.8), and the browser simply does not work anymore. No matter where I tap on the screen it refuses to respond, unless I hold the app icon on the home screen and do stuff like "open new tab" or "open latest bookmark" from there, in which case it technically does those things but still refuses to actually load the site, and still doesn't respond to my input. The address bar doesn't respond, the home button doesn't respond, the back and forward arrows don't either, and neither do the other two icons (tabs and menu). My wireless connectivity still functions (I'm able to use Safari and other apps), and my phone screen responds to input with other apps. Furthermore, I've offloaded and reinstalled the app TWICE now. How do I get Firefox to actually do anything without totally uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and thereby losing all my bookmarks?

I updated my iPhone app to version 40 a few days ago. Ever since, I cannot use Firefox. I try to open it, and it freezes and shows a black screen (despite having several tabs open). I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling. I had to reopen the each of my old tabs individually. It worked for a few hours but has stopped working again. I have a lot of tabs open and I do not want to keep reinstalling it and reopening all of them to be able to use the app.

When i open the app, it immediately becomes unresponsive and refuses to load. When i switch out and back in, it acts like im opening it for the first time, which leads me to believe its crashing.

This only happened recently, so it must've been an update (either ios or the app, i cant be sure on the timeline) that broke things.

I do have a bajillion tabs open, but thats never been a problem before - i use firefox solely for browsing AO3

And i cant even close any because its completely unresponsive…
