I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

Hello everyone,

I've been experiencing continuous crashes with the Firefox app on my iOS device, and it's becoming quite frustrating. Despite following all the recommended measures, the issue persists. Here's what I've tried so far:

Keeping only a few tabs open at a time. Deleting and reinstalling the app. Ensuring both iOS and Firefox are updated to the latest versions. Restarting my phone multiple times. None of these steps have resolved the problem. It almost feels like I'm being forced to either abandon iOS or switch to a different browser. Has anyone else faced similar issues or found a solution?

Thanks in advance for your help!

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

My firefox browser is originally set in Chinese language; I want to set it to English. I already set the laptop language to English, but the browser still offers solutuions in Chinese. For example, I am trying th transfer my Skype dial pad account to the Microsoft team, but it gives me informations in Chinese

I have maintained important tabs on firefox ios for several years. It has done well to remember my session/tabs during updates, crashes etc. I have sync set up and just hit "sync now" before updating to the latest ios version. First time ever my session is totally reset and all tabs are gone. Please tell me there is a way to restore my session from before the update, I will never get some of those links back. As I said I hit "sync now" and made sure it was current, but my understanding is that just updates my access to the session that is currently on my desktop from my phone. Can I get on my desktop and find the phone session that I syncd before updating? Can support find a previous session somewhere?

Hi!

I am trying to turn off the auto refresh function, but I can’t get to the actual configurator page. When I type about:config into my url bar, I get search results via DuckDuckGo, instead of the configuration page. When I click on link, I get taken to a Mozilla help page, but CANNOT get to the actual configurator, to change the setting to “true”. How can I actually get this page to come up?!?!?!

I downloaded a file from adobe.com and I cannot find it. I also can’t find a setting in firefox for downloaded files location. I searched the iPhone “files” app for ”pdf” and couldn’t find it. I performed the same action on Safari and the file instantly showed up in my downloads folder. Any ideas? iPhone 16 iOS 18.1.1 Firefox 134.1 Thank you Yaron

When clicking on a search link in firefox for ios, it does not open a new tab, which it used to do. I prefer that, if I need to do more searches from the search query. It is an issue on both iPhone and iPad, but not on pc (Mac or Linux).

Hey guys, is there an adblocker for iPhone and Firefox? I installed Orion but still get adds? Perhaps I don't activate it on Fitefox correctly? Any help will be appreciated I just downloaded it from app store - how do I activate it on Forefox?

Hi.

How do I use the extensions I have in Firefox web on iOS? Specifically I have the extension of Deepl on my Firefox for desktop. How can I use it or any other way of translating a full page? Thanks

Dear Firefox Team,

I am writing to propose an enhancement for your iOS and Android, as well as desktop applications, that would greatly benefit users with visual impairments. It would also benefit anyone who is aware that they are in need of supplementary assistance in the absorption of information and knowledge, such as myself (for context; I am an adult with autism and ADHD). Specifically, I suggest adding an accessibility feature that provides verbal dictation of the text on the phone. This addition would significantly improve the experience for users with limited or no sight or potentially even other types of disabilities.

As a friendly neighborhood computer consultant, I recommend Firefox as the default browser to my friends and family because of its strong commitment to privacy. Additionally, a partnership with DuckDuckGo could further underscore your dedication to user privacy.

I appreciate your consideration of these suggestions and look forward to seeing your continued innovation and reaction to my notes. Enhancing accessibility features not only supports inclusivity but could also attract new users and potentially open up advertising opportunities. I am eager to share more ideas in the future and would be delighted to contribute to your mission in any way possible.

Best regards,

Seth Noreman [edited phone# from public community support forum]

P.S. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. I am also available to help create promotional materials or tutorial videos on how to use these accessibility features, leveraging my background in digital art and my unique perspective as an adult with autism.

Thank you for your time.
