Hello developers.

I really enjoyed using Firefox on iOS. It is so much better than other browsers in terms of continuity. However, I do find that there’s one particular thing that Firefox can do better—how to access bookmarks.
“Bookmarks” on the Homepage should be able to be put on top. On the current version, the location of “Bookmarks” is fixed on the bottom of the screen, below “Shortcuts” and “Jump back in”. For many users, including myself, bookmarks are more convenient than Shortcuts. It would be great to move it up top.

And it should be able to show folders. I have a lot of bookmarks, so I have to group them in several folders. What current version does is probably guessing which specific one you want to pick and show it, and the hierarchy is dismissed. So maybe it should show it exactly how it is on the desktop.

That’s all suggestions I got. Thank you for your reading.

Why does Firefox mobile for iOS look different on my iPhone 13 pro max vs my wife's iPhone 12 pro max? both UTD on iOS version. I suspect that I must be missing something in settings, but cannot figure this out. See images below.

On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Firefox app has the nice home button, tab button, and hamburger menu button on the bottom (address bar on top both cases). On my wife's iPhone 12 Pro Max, it has the "+" for new tab, the 3 dots instead of hamburger menu, and then the tab button. I much prefer the layout on my phone, as does my wife, but I cannot figure out how to change her layout to match mine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I get an unsupported browser message when trying to share items on facebook marketplace, it tells me to use a browser that supports end to end encryption, which I thought Firefox did anyway. This seems to occur on my iPad rather than my iMac! Any help would be appreciated

Often when I am searching for luxury items, I keep getting Amazon and Temu and Target and Walmart. These are not luxury retailers. Why does Manilla insist on sending me to these retailers all the time?!? I am looking for classic quality, clothing, shoes, housewares, etc. I am not looking for cheap plastic from China. How can I permanently delete retailers? I do not want to see in the search engine?

Hi, all!

I bought a second MacBook. I am clearly logged in to Firefox on both laptops and my iPhone. I can share tabs between all three. I can access history between all three. However, Bookmarks on MacBook #2 are not updating with what I add to MB #1 or my phone. MacBook #2 is my business laptop, and the more important of the two. When I first got it, Bookmarks synced, but somehow stopped.

AND! Mozilla's instructions to pair/sync are inaccurate. There is no "Sync and save data" to tap on in iOS, and no matter where I look in iOS Firefox Settings, I see no way to scan the QR code. None of the Help pages I've seen have different or better info.

Thanks for your time and suggestions. John

A few days ago I changed my password on my account but I forgot to write it down. Now I tried to change it again but it doesn't remember the current password, resulting in it asking me to enter the 32-character password, but unfortunately I don't have that either. How can I change my password without losing my data? King regards John Papoulakos

I have been attempting for two days to sync my Firefox desktop info (for the bookmarks) to my iphone, and it keeps coming up with a 500 error - see attached.

Please advise as I'd like to have my bookmarks the same in all places. I have an iPhone 11, and as far as I know all versions of Firefox in both places are up-to-date.

Thank you.

I'm opted in to studies, but unable to toggle the switch to opt-out because it is "grayed out" (screenshot attached).

Cannot find any studies-related solution in existing community Q&A except for one that says to toggle the switch to opt out, which isn't an option for me.

Thanks in advance!

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.
