I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

Hi I’ve been a dedicated Firefox user since as long as I can remember across all my devices. Since buying an iPad Pro and setting up with Firefox, as I have on all my devices, on the iPad Firefox performance is really poor. Websites often freeze and downloading pdfs from websites or from SharePoint etc. often does not work. An empty file will be saved. When switching to another browser I don’t experience these problems and I have no other software problems on the iPad. Running Firefox 139.1 on iPadOS 18.5 on a 13” iPad Pro M4 (MVX33HC/A)

Can you please let me know what your proposed fixes are for this? Thank you and kind regards Ewald

The problem began when I was browsing Google maps through Firefox, it gave the prompt to view it through the Google maps app instead. Google maps needed an update, I was on low data mode, I got impatient and canceled that update, then somehow Firefox wasn't allowing me to finish a sentence in the search bar afterwards. Now it doesn't let me open new tabs, exit out of already open tabs, or access the browser settings without freezing for 3 seconds and going to the home screen.

I've updated Firefox to version 139.2, I've searched for some crash log information for iPhone 11 and didn't understand it too well (one suggested to search from Privacy and Security->Analytics and Improvements->Analytics data and to search for "client" but got nothing). I couldn't figure out what more to do with the app from my home screen or settings, I turned my phone off and on yesterday yet it still happened. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm not experienced with technical things and don't want to risk having my bookmarks or passwords be erased in any way.

IOS version is 18.4.1 if that helps.

In addition to the hack concerns. I was curious if and where, I can see a list of devices that I am signed in

       Please  am advise  and thank you once more!

I was searching on Firefox and encountered a pop up “your iPhone has been hacked” and an ‘OK’, which you are encouraged to use based on immediate attention being required.

      This pop up has frozen my app and I cannot close this tab nor can I access any other tabs I have in use. Troubleshooting tried- closed the app several times and also turned my iPhone off and back on and get the same result. I cleared my website search history and use the following security’s settings:  prevent cross tracking, Hide IP address: (from) trackers and websites, fraudulent website warning, not secure connection warning. I am using the iPhone 14 Pro Max and am running on the most current iOS: 18.5. These settings are for safari . 
      Has anyone experienced this situation and know how to close the hacker message tab and what else one might need/want to do in response to this pop up? 
      Any advise would be most appreciated!

Kindly, LaL

Hi,

I am trying to add Brave as the search engine on the Firefox settings in iOS, however, I continue to receive an error message stating “Please fill all fields correctly” I am using the below URL:

https://search.brave.com/search?q=%25s&source=desktop

And

search.brave.com or https://search.brave.com

But none are working and I continue to get the same error message

Is there a way to clear all of the [List] Reading List on Firefox for iOS other than one half-swipe at a time?

I've tried to enable the Reading List sidebar on the desktop version via about:config, but I can't seem to find the sidebar.

During the configuration of my iPad, I noticed that there is no option to add a custom query URL, like it exists under Android. Therefore, after adding the custom search engine (and when it's chosen) the search suggestions are missing. While I know that there are technical limitations regarding Firefox on IOS/IPadOS, I don't think/hope that this is one of them.

I tried send link to device to device for the first time today from my Firefox for desktop to my iPad. Both devices are synced to the same Firefox account and currently signed in. I get a "Sent" pop-up notification after I do the Send on the desktop web browser, but there is no notification of any kind on the iPad.

My searches for this on the web, and on this site, show me only the 'how to send' steps, and I see nothing that is 'where to look for received links'. What should I expect to see on the iOS device when I do this send?

Dear Firefox-Support,

while using the iPad App in version 138.0 to generate a secure password today, this password was not saved. I was using the change password function on an account previously not known to my Firefox account. When I acknowledged the password change and was prompted to sign in in the same tab, neither the function that should remember the new password within the same session worked, nor was it saved with the other passwords.

I think it is unlikely you can help me find this password again, but I would like to make you aware, that this szenario might be an issue.

I'm a big fan of Firefox and particularly appreciate the ability to automatically clear my Browse history upon closing the application. I've been trying to find this feature on Firefox for iOS, following steps similar to those available on the desktop version (Settings > Privacy & Security > History > "Clear history when Firefox closes").

However, I haven't been able to locate these options on the iOS app. Is this feature currently unavailable on Firefox for iOS? If so, are there any plans for its development in future updates? This is a functionality I highly value for privacy and would love to see implemented on the mobile version.

Thank you for any insights!

Greetings all,

The topic that best describes my question / challenge is Firefox browser settings- at least I hope there is setting for this. I have looked within Firefox and the appropriate iOS settings but I am coming up blank so far.

Important to note, the behavior I describe below is specific to Firefox for iOS. Using Safari, I get a different behavior -one that I used to see in Firefox.

In the screenshot I have attached we can see a website offering the first portion of an authentication prompt: the field to enter an email address.

Placing the cursor inside the email address field -to select / activate it- the text ‘Hide My Email’ appears just above the keyboard. I have circled this in red to highlight what I am referring to.

What I used to see in this space is integration with my Password Manager of choice. Now I see ‘Hide My Email’ and I cannot figure out how to get the password manager back in there.

As I mentioned earlier, Safari is showing my password manager in this space -as expected- but Firefox is not.

I am not using ‘Hide My Email’ through iCloud+. I have not configured it within iOS, and I don’t see a way to turn it off.

Ideas?

Buenos días, les reitero mi consulta de ayer. Con la actualización de la última versión ha desaparecido la carpeta “Firefox” de Archivos. Solo puedo acceder a los archivos descargados a través de la propia app. No se descargan allí automáticamente lo que pierde su navegador la funcionalidad que se le requiere. O lo solucionan o desgraciadamente tendré que acudir a un navegador del oligopolio. Muchas gracias.
