I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

Hi,

The question may asked for a lot but... I have a Mozilla account with about 1000 bookmarks, years of hystory and tons of passwords, in brief, i'm locked to Mozilla ecosystem.

Someone gifted me an ipad, so my first thing is to install FF on this to enjoy the web as i like (without ads btw).

As always on new devices, i've looking for uBlock Origin wich is the only serious adblocker on the market.

What a deception to see that it's not possible to install any extension on IOS...

Yes, i can use the ublock "extension" for Safari but then i cannot sync with my other devices.

Guys i dont know what to do, all my data is on my Mozilla account because i trusted them for years, but my iPad suddendly goes unusable because the web with ads is unusable and the web witout my Mozilla account is unusable.

What about a fork with uBlock integrated by default ?

Thanks a lot

Hello, I’m here to ask, how do I install extensions? I have the Firefox app downloaded but when I try to install BTRoblox, Roblox+, and etc. It shows me an “Download Firefox and get the extension”. Now, I think there’s an issue with the add-ons memory card. Because it would take me to a page of mozilla.org. And there the only thing it’s says is “Almost there! Now finish installing Firefox.” Even if I have the app downloaded, I’m on an iPad and I need multiple extensions to download. How do I fix this?

Nowadays safari can easily use uBlock origin lite to block ads and MS edge allows users to use adblockplus. However, Firefox iOS is still “ad friendly”, no way to block them 😭

On this forum there is answer that there are no addons becouse Apple doesn’t allow, but I just figured out, that MS Edge has Adblock and sponsor block and ghostery and few other extensions.

So if something changed in apples policy can we expect same in FF for iOS?

How to add tineye.com to browser I did tineye.com than https:// tineye.com and said I did it wrong this is so dam irritating bc stupid tineye was like just go to themes add in’s and no u guys have to have some darn tech lingo not helpful for old people what to type bc it’s not correct according to to u guys not so easy to find themes add on and no can’t just add on have to do some special code. Lingo won’t accept tineye.com

How is it possible that even Edge - in addition to Orion - have implemented ways to include extensions within the iOS app, while the Firefox developers keep saying that they can't do it because of Apple restrictions?

I am going to be giving a talk in a few months on why uBlockOrigin is an excellent extension and on the open web in general. Part of that will be focusing on how Firefox on Android allows for extensions. I know that Apple gets very restrictive with how they allow browsers to work on their system. Realistically, is extensions for Firefox for iOS something we can see happening in the future? I'd like to know if I should tell people to wait for it or make a call to arms for engagement to see if we can push us to that point.
