I-Firefox iOS Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I really like what Mozilla tries to do, and atm I'm working on becoming a Firefox user. I'm trying to use services from the big five as little as possible. Especially Meta and Google, but since I'm trying to use Apple services less as well, I'm trying to move from Safari to Firefox. However, the mobile experience has really let me down.

I had been trying the Orion browser for a while, but since it felt a bit unfinished (it's in beta after all), I thought maybe a major browser like Firefox would give me a more polished experience. And while the desktop (MacOS) app is OK, the iPhone and iPad experience is very poor.

Is there anything I can do to improve it?

My main problem is around tabs, and that I can't seem to be able to change the fact that almost every click opens the page in a new tab - BUT NOT ALWAYS. It's really inconsistent. This is also made worse by the fact that Firefox is late to the party when it comes to easy, swipeable, tab switching. On iPad it's made worse by the fact that it doesn't really support trackpads. If you scroll up and down with a trackpad, the menu bar on the top (and all the tabs) are hidden, even if you scroll up again! Are there any options I'm missing?

Can anyone help me make the experience better? Any (at least) semi-happy iOS/iPadOS users out there? This is really poor from Firefox, IMO. And this isn't actually Apple's fault, as this has nothing to do with the restrictions they put browsers on their platforms.

How do i get the " search by image" "Browser add on " to work. I admit i don't know how to use it. Can you Explain how too use it . Please. I know it probably doesn't sound like a difficult thing too figure out, but it has been frustrating my attempts to use it. Please help before i Destroy my phone . Thank you.

On desktop we can click the padlock to view the actual SSL certificate but on Mobile this does not work.

Viewing the SSL certificate is a very important and useful ability and should be supported the same way as viewing a web page's HTML source or viewing an email message's headers.

Is there a setting that needs to be enabled in order for the iOS Firefox to translate a website? If not, there should be something that automatically does it if you need it to.

Like the title says, just looking for an option in settings to delete all data on close for the IOS version. If there is not an option, what is the possibility of getting one in a future release? Thanks for any helpful responses.

I am trying to install an adblocking extension on Firefox for iOS. However, it tells me I have to download Firefox to use the extension. When I hit download, it brings me to the AppStore page for the app, which shows I have it downloaded and can open it. What is it trying to get me to do?

Just updated Firefox to version 112.2 on my iPad which has iOS 15 Did the update via the apple App Store. Relaunched (restarted) Firefox and ALL tabs that were open are Gone! I can’t find the “restore previous session” option anywhere.

Can you tell me where to find it? How do I get the previous session back?!?

I’ve been using Firefox for years. Firefox not starting up after the update with all the previous tabs open is devastating to me. I need to get the previous session restored. Please help

Firefox password manager will not offer to generate a password if i am creating a new account on my iphone. It works fine for autofilling existing passwords. I can only do that on my Windows PC. Can the iOS version generate secure paswords? I couldn't find anything to help in an internet search.

Why is there no bookmarks toolbar for Firefox IOS? This makes the program useless to me. Is there any way to create and see bookmarks? None of the answers in the forums are of any help. What you tell me I should see I don’t see.

I’ve used Firefox for years because I support non-corporate efforts like this, but the lack of quick access to create and use bookmarks is a deal-breaker for me.

I work with older model routers that use older TLS 1.0/1.1 on the weekly basis at various sites.

For the past few years, Firefox iOS could not view my router login page after log in. But with the current patch on iOS 16, I can finally view the page on my iPhone instead of finding a laptop with Firefox on PC and change the about:config TLS to the obsolete version in order to view this page.

Thank you for the changes. It saves me some headaches when I have to go to different sites to inspect older version of the router login page.

'Lbold text'I have all my extensions uploaded to Dropbox, having a hard time figuring out what to do with them, especially the Facebook extensions. How do I get those to workin Facebook? I’m very confused!

The new user interface for IOS is insanely hard to use. I have an IPhone 12 mini, and recently the interface changed from one that had a large search bar at the bottom of the screen with bigger buttons and easier access. Now, it’s just one tiny row with no search bar on screen, making me either get rid of the tab or open a whole new one to search. The buttons are also ways smaller. I haven’t seen any way to get rid of this new UI and I’m not sure if i’m the only one having the issue.

Hi, there is no import data button on general settings on ipad pro menu. How can i import passwords, bookmarks and history from brave/opera/duckduckgo/chrome/edge on ipad pro to firefox? How can i download history, passwords and bookmarks files for backing up firefox on ipad pro Thanks a lot

I hope there will be an update in which we get bookmarks on the top for ipad. just like on pc. it's definitely possible cause there is enough screen real estate. or make two bars or 3 on ios. I hope this is a feature that will be picked up and implemented one day. I fully switched to Firefox. Cause now it connects every search result to desktop. Also I like that it isn't chromium based
