I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

Hi,

I really want to replace Google search engine with Firefox. I already have the Firefox app installed but i have a Google search engine. I don’t want Google anymore. How do I replace it? Can you please explain any advice to me like I’m 5, as I have a mild cognitive impairment and am not very tech savvy.

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

Hi, I am having an issue in mobile on iPhone 13 mini where I am trying to view a PDF (a bill so I can’t share the link) and it just opens to a about:blank page that says:

“Your bill is almost ready. Please wait.

Are you using a Chrome browser? Check your browser’s Downloads folder for a PDF of your bill.”

I wait and nothing happens. When I try in chrome it opens immediately in another tab (and doesn’t go to the downloads folder funny enough).

It isn’t in my downloads folder here either.

I don’t think it’s the site since it works in chrome.

I tried turning off pop up blocker, clicking the link again, and it didn’t change anything.

I also notice it is labeling the blank page as an insecure connection. It is from my city electric company so that wouldn’t be likely.

Thank you

this is a problem im seeing all over the internet, but nothing in your database. i just replaced my ipad with the newest ipad air m3 (2025). i have updated the operating system and all apps are updated since i just set it up today. when using firefox, and additional tabs are opened, they will not close by hitting the x to close them. the only way that sorta works is going to tab view and closing them there, but they will not close from the main screen.

how do i fix this? like i said, im seeing alot of posts on the internet complaining about the same thing.

No accès, ils bloked, i got an iPhone, and thé y send you back to thé applications White its wrighting its open but if i click again send me to thé applications and same bla b’a bla..,

Is there any way to make the keyboard smaller so I can actually, you know, use the browser? I can't really see what I'm doing. It's like I'm looking through a peephole.

I wrongly bookmark a page, but after deleting it it. When i search for the same site it will show under firefox suggest. I think this only happens in mobile (ios) as desktop would forget about the site

Hiya, The latest firefox update for iOS 26 on mobile added a new feature, or at least a new prompt for an existing feature, with moving the address bar to either the top or the bottom, however this does not appear to apply to the sideways view option, and the address bar is only at the top regardless of which setting is used. Is this a bug?

Also it appears that the auto-hide behaviour takes more scrolling before it engages. Is there a setting to adjust this? If not I would like to request a setting to adjust this on mobile be added as I would prefer it be almost instant in both hide and unhide if possible. Many thanks!

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.
