I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

Google is the only search engine that will open a page. When using Firefox iOS to search, find your way back to a better search engine (below) appears after downloading the app. It seems to be in a loop that will not allow me t open any url. I believe my phone has flexispy (or some kind of spyware) downloaded on it and this is one search engine that it possibly cannot track, so it doesn’t function at all? Could this be the cause of this continuous loop that sends me back to download the app?

I want to turn off ai features. I don't want to heat up the planet or torture rural people with data centers by using AI just to look stuff up, especially because ai is stupid, as in dumb, so it's a big waste of energy and water and space to use with search engines anyway. I want to be able to set up my firefox browser so it never uses ai for anything. Never! How can i do that? Idont want to have to disable it everything i search. I want it off off off off.

The 'Open Private Browsing' shortcut from the app icon has been broken for years. Long-press on the Firefox icon → "New Private Tab" → it opens a normal tab instead.

Once inside the app, it now takes five taps just to start typing in a private tab:

Open Firefox Tap the tabs icon in the bottom-right Tap the mask/private icon at the top Tap the "+" to open a new private tab Tap one last time on the address bar to actually start typing

Address bar autocomplete doesn't work at all — not even for bookmarks or sites you visit often. You have to type the full URL every single time, including dots, hyphens and the extension. This causes constant typing mistakes.

You also can't open any bookmark directly into a private tab.

Private browsing has become so frustrating that it's basically unusable, and this has been going on for years. Private mode is one of Firefox’s most important features. These basic issues really need to be fixed.

I'm running FF v147.2.1 on my iPhone. There is NO translation option in the address bar OR in settings. It was supposed to be introduced in v146. Why is it not available despite having a version that is supposed to have the feature?

Since the recent update 3 days ago I can no longer reach any of my 23 servers with self signed certs locally it just spins.

Works on iPad OS on chrome, Firefox, safari Works on work laptop chrome, Firefox, safari Works on pc chrome, Firefox, safari Works on iOS chrome and safari Does not work on iOS Firefox

I don’t want to have to switch browsers, I am unable to accept the certificate because I cannot reach the page it just spins. Not a network or dns issue read above. I believe the most recent update caused this.

I added a screenshot from relay because standard Firefox just loads forever.

Another thing to note, all http address work fine no issues it’s only https self signed certs and only on IOS (26.4.1)

My iPhone full screen is frozen in the Firefox app due to a pop up scam. I've tried a forced restart as well as running airplane mode to be able to delete the URL. But, this hack is different from the couple of other times this has happened to me. The URL is also frozen. After a forced restart the URL is accessible for just a millisecond before it changes to "viruvpnapp.com" and freezes. There isn't any time to delete it before it freezes. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Firefox app. I've also closed the app and then shut off Wi-Fi and cellular and then reopened the app thinking that the pop up would not be able to connect. But, it was still there. Any suggestions?

When I am using Firefox for iOS, and I click on any text input, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. This bar contains nothing apart from ‘↑ ↓ Done’ on the right. This bar is really annoying and moves the page around irritatingly.

If I click ‘Done’ it will temporarily remove the bar until I click on a text input again, and it will appear again.

I would like to know if this is something to do with Firefox or the device iOS settings.

help?”

I am trying to use Firefox/Safari on my iPhone to access a website that requires camera and microphone access. When I reach the permission prompt, the browser gets stuck or does not allow me to continue even after granting permissions. I already checked settings and allowed camera and microphone, but the issue persists. The page shows a message related to “official browser support” and freezes on the permission screen.

I ordered a pizza and every since then, it's stuck in my browsing history and I can't get it removed

I've done everything as follows:

Deleted browsing history

Cleared cache

Deleted browsing and cache from my laptop (synced)

I know there is a prompt you can enter on desktop but can't work on android

I checked my bookmarks and it was in there but I deleted it but still shows up in history

Nothing in recent history as I have clear history when closing Firefox, I do press quit instead of just closing browser

There is a site folder you can apparently see what's in your history but I can't find it data/data/about/support something, I forgot the name

Can anyone help? I know I'm broad on the location but I cant find it searching after closing Firefox and deleting all my history..sorry
