I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

For some unknown reason, you guys decided to remove the “home” button from the Firefox browser app for IOS. I have been using a home button on my browsers for over 30 years now and by removing it you have rendered the Firefox browser unusable to me. Why try to fix something that wasn’t broken? I shouldn’t have to open a new tab every single time I want to go to my home page! Who thought this was a good idea? Just so you know, I will most likely be looking for an alternative browser to replace Firefox if this is going to be a permanent thing.

I have always found it so easy to browse on my iPhone then send a page to OS for easier (larger screen) reading. This capability seems to be gone after my recent update to iOS. Am I correct or how do I do that now? Both browsers are up to date as far as I can tell. I am attaching my current menu page.

I use Firefox on my laptop and phone because there is an easy way to send tabs back and forth. On my desktop, I can still click my profile picture and see a dropdown that says "Send tab to device..." However, recently, UI updates on Firefox for iOS has resulted in the hamburger menu that used to contain that same button has changed. When I click the menu button in the app, I cannot find the "Send tab to device..." button anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I’d like to share some feedback on the new Firefox update for iPhone. The new menu layout feels much less functional, and I’m disappointed to see that progressive web app support is no longer available.

In addition, I can’t find any option to share webpages by email or into apps like WhatsApp, which I used to rely on regularly. This missing feature is a major inconvenience and has led me to use Safari more often for tasks I previously preferred Firefox for.

Could you please reconsider these changes, or at least restore the ability to share webpages easily?

Thank you.

When clicking hyperlinks on various pages, firefox (ipadOS) sometimes opens the hyperlinks in a new tab. As far as I know, it seems to happen randomly and its super annoying.

"Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor."

When I launch Firefox iOS for mobile and press on any of my pinned favorites, nothing happens. To actually access the pinned favorites or recently accessed browser pages it is now a 3-step process instead of 1. The first step is to press AND hold the favorite you want to access. When depressed, a menu of options appears which gives the user the option to choose “Open in new tab.” When the “Open in New Tab” option is chosen a blue banner appears below that reads “Open in new tab” at which point the favorite or recently visited site opens up. This had been going on for months until about a week ago but is back again and it is annoying!!!

open downloaded pdf from "download tab" in new tab always. Opening in the same last tab, destroys the opened tab which often not support back option e. g. Banking websites.

Pls give option of new tab opening of downloaded files.

Greetings,

How can I delete or disable my Firefox/Mozilla account when my email provider discontinued my sign in email? In other words, I no longer have access to the email attached to my Firefox account and would like to delete it.

Thanks!

When logged into a synched account, my Firefox for iOS has been crashing for 2 days. iOS version 18.7.1. First started when I attempted to send a page from my iMac desktop to my iphone. It didn't send, so I attempted again. Still didn't work. Firefox for iOS started crashing when attempting to open a new tab. Then it progressed to crashing whenever I attempt to open Firefox. I then proceeded to:

• Restart phone
• Dump all cache & cookies etc. in iOS Firefox
• Remove iOS Firefox and install new version

However, whenever I sign back into my synched account, the crashing starts again.

So for now just staying signed out of Firefox for iOS, and it's working fine. Hoping this gets fixed somehow in the future, future, future...

Firefox iOS updated this morning to 143.1 In private browsing it’s in dark mode automatically and won’t change even if changing to light in the settings.

Any help? Steve

Initial performance is good, but over time especially when tabs are opened and closed frequently responsiveness to user input (e.g. tab switching, opening/closing tabs, response to hyperlinks) becomes very slow. After force quitting and restarting, performance is good again for some time. I exclusively use private tabs.

In recent weeks, I’ve been getting signed out of two sites in particular, Patreon.com and Defector.com what feels like every day. It’s a nuisance, as I subscribe to both sites and read them primarily through the Firefox browser. I tried deleting all cookies and the issue has persisted. Any help is appreciated.

After I sync it with the Firefox browser on my laptop it crashes on my iPhone. I've done everything from updating my phone software to updating the app. Restarting and deleting and reinstalling and resyncing the accounts. Once I sync it the phone app crashes. I prefer to have Firefox as my default browser but now I'm having second thoughts.

Appreciate the help. Thank you in advance.
