Can't find anything about it, just presumably on browser Firefox. When I accidentally tap "Bing search", it opens up Microsoft Edge, which I don't even have. Deleting Bing as a search engine does nothing. So yeah, please help?

Hello,

I was told to come to this site to report issues with Firefox iOS. I searched this site to see if someone is having a similar issue but didn't find anything.

The issue is simple: I use Firefox on iOS to search Google. I don't want to use the separate Google search app. I like having everything inside Firefox itself. When I initially search for something, the Google search result page loads fine. However, after I use other apps on my phone for while, if I come back to Firefox, then those pages are blank and don't load. I can still see what I searched for in the title of the tab, but the content of the tab is blank and doesn't load even if I press the refresh button. Somehow, this issue MOSTLY happens with the Google search result page, not really with any other website (also I think I've seen this happen with other websites once or twice), which is pretty odd.

I'll try and reproduce it and attach screenshots later.

In the image attached, I’m trying to scroll through the search suggestions given by “Firefox Suggest”. However, when I try to swipe up in the red circled area, instead of scrolling down, I only click on the page shown in the red circled area. This behavior is new and was not always there. I could previously scroll down while swiping up in the red-circled area. Also, in the red-circled area, it looks like there is a longer list of "Firefox Suggest" options that the keyboard is covering, but I can't get access to this longer list because I can't swipe up. What should I do to fix this?

When I tap on the address bar to enter a new search term, the current text in the address bar becomes highlighted, but as soon as I'm done either typing the new search term or saying it using voice search and I hit enter. The address bar adds the new search term to the end of the originally highlighted text and then does a search. As if the old and the new text is one in the same. How do I fix it so that the new search term will automatically replace the old text as it's always done?

I’m having difficulty with Firefox on an iPad mini fifth generation running iOS 16.4.1 and today’s version of Firefox. I’ve used Firefox for years with Duck Duck Go as search engine with no problem. Today without warning Firefox stopped accepting URLs typed into the search bar from the Homepage (or any page). It simply ignores the typing and flickers momentarily, keeping the existing URL and page. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, changing the default search engine from Duck Duck Go to Firefox, and changing from a custom homepage to the Firefox homepage. No luck. Please advise.

I’ve followed the instructions for turning off Firefox suggestions, but have a couple that continue to show. They are not bookmarks.

I’ve tried deleting browsing history.

Thanks

I noticed over the past few days, that when doing a search with the Firefox search bar, with either voice or typing, the previous search doesn't go away unless I hit the X or QUIT. I never had issues until this week, am I going nuts or is this on your end? If, for instance, I search for CNN and then go back for, say CBS, my result will be WWW.CNNCBS.COM which is wrong. Thanks, Richard Sachs

Hello all, I am a developer and am currently working on an website. My domain is on go daddy and my application is deployed on heroku. I have pointed my domain name on go daddy to the heroku DNS and have set up forwarding so it is always sent to https instead of http. IE example.com goes to https://www.example.com and www.example.com goes to https://www.example.com

This works across all browsers and devices, chrome on desktop, safari on desktop, firefox on desktop, chrome app, and safari app.

However, on the Firefox mobile app for IOS, only entering example.com redirects correctly. www.example.com does not forward to https://www.example.com, it instead always goes to http://www.example.com

Is this a common issue with firefox mobile app for IOS? Any other developers know a fix for this? I am certain all my heroku and go daddy stuff is set up correctly. I need this to redirect correctly as my application requires https connection.

Thank you in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

Since yesterday’s update, whenever I try to touch the address bar to enter in something (anything at all), it flashes for a bit and doesn’t do anything. It’ll show the search engine and go back to its usual state. I’ve never had this issue before.

I’ve tried redownloading the app on my iPad (Silicon iPad from 2022. Firefox and my iPad are at the latest version.), but nothing’s worked.

I’m out of options. Can anyone help?

having now gone over to Firefox from Safari I am still finding my way around, so if the answer to this is obvious, I apologise.

One of the more useful aspects of Safari was typing a word into the search window of an open page and getting the options of searching the web or searching on that page. I can see that there is that option within the menu of Firefox but accessing it is a nuisance. Is there a way of either giving me the option within the internet search window or less convenient, adding that icon to the title bar.

Thanks

I'm on version 112.2.0 and I cannot disable the "feature" that haphazardly shoves my history in to groups that have nothing to do with each other but Firefox THINKS are related. The support post I've found discussing this promised there'd be a "disable search groups" option in version 97, but I'm on version 112.2.0, which (for those of you counting) is 5 mainline iterations afterwards. How do I fix this? It's constantly breaking my History.

The latest iOS app was supposed to fix the problems with logins, but it persists. Firefox logs me out of websites frequently throughout the day. Refreshing or going back into the website usually fixes the issue temporarily and I can view the site without logging back in, but it’s ridiculous that’s it’s necessary to do so. Also, although I’ve cleared cache and history, an unwanted website auto fills when typing in the address bar. Been a user for the last 10 or more years.

Hello,

When I scroll down a page, the address & tab bars disappear, and I can’t seem to understand how to make them reliably come back. Sometimes scrolling up a notch will make the tabs bar reappear, with a grey bar underneath (which should be the address bar but is just a plain grey rectangle).

The only consistent way to display it again is to scroll all the way to the top of the page, which is not great. The option that is displayed [[here|https://mzl.la/3QAEMGF]] doesn’t work for me, since I don’t see a “Toolbar” section in the settings. My version of the App seems to be up to date (112.0).

I was able to replicate the “blank grey bar” issue, and attached a screenshot to this post.

Is there a setting that I didn’t find to disable the search bar from disappearing?

Thank you in advance.

Hello! Thank you for your help! I want to install my personalized version of startpage as the common search engine on my android mobile.

This is my personalized search string: https://www.startpage.com/do/mypage.pl?prfe=88c786572599bb1107d3c74eaec3b3ca5076330f9b0ee54884a22b7a784d2b0a689bbc9b7a89edd7438b53c487ee2e4e628759948e78c9e03a2a82c5107f459c595a56be6ab8c7def9ac63f6

But it is not possible!

On the mozilla helppage it says (translated from german): https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/suchmaschinen-verwalten-firefox-android#w_hinzufugen-einer-zusatzlichen-vordefinierten-suchmaschine

"If the entered Internet address (URL) of the search string is invalid, an error message is displayed to help you enter a valid Internet address. Important: Make sure that you replace the search string with the placeholder "%s", for example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%s https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?q=%s https://search.brave.com/search?q=%s https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=%s

But as you can see, in my personalized search string there is no placeholder! What to do to install nevertheless my personalized version of the startpage search string as the common search engine on my android mobile?

Thank´s a lot

“ Google Lead Services interfering with Firefox searches on iPhone”.   I too have the same problem using my iPhone running the last and most recent updates .  Is there a setting on I phone that restrict  browsers from following links to other pages or prevents the phone from following a link that leads to opening new tabs or would leave the page. When clicking on a link does the phone automatically know how to process the request. ?  I am a fairly new user of Apple products and found a similar problem when using my iPad Firefox browser and recently the same I noticed also happens when using safari!  

I don’t know where to begin to search for a fix. Anyone ?
