Firefox Focus Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I was looking up a Kinder candy product called "Happy Hippo" yesterday afternoon, and briefly surfed around a website for a weird American supplement company with the same name that also came up in the search results. (Just out of curiosity trying to figure out what the supplement they were selling even was.)

That supplement company subsequently showed up in my inbox this morning offering me a discount code. And to state the obvious: I ABSOLUTELY did not give this sketchy supplement company my email address while on their site.

I would be alarmed to find any company tracking me to my inbox after simply browsing their website for less than two minutes, but for it to happen after using Firefox Focus, I'm also dismayed.

I've already unsubscribed from their mailings and sent a strongly worded email about the invasion of internet user privacy, but half the problem must also lie on Firefox Focus' end. I don't know who can look for bugs or loopholes that would have let this happen, but hopefully reporting it here will start that process.

Hello,

When I open Firefox Focus on my iPad Pro it does not let me type from my Magic Keyboard. I would need to detach the Magic Keyboard to bring up the touch keyboard.

Thank You,

iPad Pro M1 iPadOS 17.0 App Version: 124.1

Hey there, I can't open the Firefox Focus after the last version 122.0 update. When I tap the app icon, Firefox Focus logo shows up then crashes and back to the main iPhone screen. Is there any way to fix this? I am using iPhone SE 2020 with IOS 14.4 version. Thank you!

The onscreen Keyboard lags on both an iPhone and an iPad. I tried restarting the app and the devices and tried reset the keyboard dictionary. The issue persisted. The Keyboard doesn’t lag anywhere else.

Is this a known issue?

Since today, tapping and holding a link would use the same preview method as Safari, where it would show you a preview box that could show either a preview of the website or just the URL, switched by tapping the top right of the box. Now it uses its own preview mechanism and there is no option to show only the URL and nothing else. Could you please add such an option on the box? Thank you in advance.

My tracker count is stuck at a number since January. Is this number calculated from # of Focus visits to the same sites, or specific/ new site visits to add to the count? Should (and how can I) clear this count?

Thanks

Just downloaded Firefox focus for iOS and I will say that it is the best browser I have used in terms of most things, except for the fact it seems that you can only go back one page at a time. I am an old-habits-die-hard chrome user and I genuinely want to switch to this browser, but without the ability to go back more than one page at a time it will be tough. Expected behavior: Holding down on the back button opens a list of recently visited pages for the current tab in sorted by order visited.

Will a mozilla tech install the vpn for me? (I'm not very good at the tech) I have windows10 and use Firefox. Assume Focus is an up grade to firefox. Does it offset the need for a vpn?

Hi CS Team,

Could you tell me how to add more tabs/ windows, please? I’m using Ipad and it’s only could use 1 window in this browser. I tried to switch between desktop view and mobile view, but didn’t see any difference. Please refer attached screenchot. Thank you in advance.

Regards,

In choosing a search engine, I found out from the directions on Firefox focus how to add them. But when they gave the string for Wikipedia, it did not work. I was wondering if any knew the accurate one and also is there a webpage that gives search strings for many apps or web pages? When I did a search under “Wikipedia Search Engine String”, I didn’t see a web page that offered it and I couldn’t find it on the Wikipedia site. If someone doesn’t mind, can you give me the directions on how to find them? I would be very grateful.
