Hello, everyone!

I'm encountering a perplexing problem with downloading .mobileconfig WiFi profile files through a direct link in my ReactJS web application. This functionality works flawlessly on Google Chrome, Safari, and Edge across iPhone and iPad devices. However, when attempting the same on Firefox for iOS, the downloaded file becomes corrupted and unrecognizable as a .mobileconfig file.

The download mechanism is implemented using a simple anchor tag that points directly to the file on the server. Interestingly, only in Firefox on iOS, the content of the .mobileconfig file gets altered during the download process, leading to corruption.

I'm keen to understand why this issue is occurring specifically with Firefox on iOS and how to resolve it. Has anyone else faced a similar challenge or have any insights on how to ensure the file downloads correctly on all browsers, including Firefox on iOS? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

I REALLY hate the colorless background! I just want to change it into a different solid color. I don't want to change my theme, I just want a different background color. Trying to use firefox colors just changes my theme into a nasty pink without even changing the background color. Nothing works.

i’m not sure how to explain this. on only one site (arstechnica.com) the page displays odd coloring and freezes if sorted by votes, and as of today, if selecting the next page. it’s truly bizarre. other browsers don’t do this, only ff. i prefer ff though and would appreciate your help, thank you.

Hello,

I have successfully switched from chrome to firefox, installed all my extensions and transferred the bookmarks. However, I noticed that credit card details to not autofill when I try to purchase something which is a dealbreaker for me. After some research, I learnt that this feature is somehow limited to some countries (US, Canada,...). While I was able to update this by ading my country to the list in the Desktop all (following https://superuser.com/questions/1694712/how-do-i-enable-credit-card-autofill-feature-outside-u-s-and-canada), I am unable to access the same setting in the mobile app.

Could someone advise how to enable credit card autofill in the iOS app? For clarity, this works in the Desktop app so the details are there. It also works in chrome on iOS so I don't really understand why chrome can do it but Firefox mobile can't...
