I-Firefox iOS Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I recently downloaded Firefox browser version 118 I need to know how to import my bookmarks and favorites from Safari browser. I looked it up and the only instruction you have is for version 113 and it seems not to apply to version 118.

Hi!

We use Firefox, on iPhones and iPads (and on our iMac, but this is not so much of a problem on the big computer).

You know on the home page, where you have your pinned shortcuts, and each one has its own little icon (which, I believe, is usually supplied by the individual websites?) showing a logo for the website in question. Makes it easy to find the shortcut you want, at a glance.

Well, for more than a year, we’ve been having an annoying little issue:

All these logos get mixed up! Or sometimes, random, generic looking squares appear, with a single letter that has nothing to do with the website in question.

I might see my favorite aviation blog’s icon, on the spot for townhall! And the familiar townhall icon appears over the link for Bible Gateway! And further on down the line, the shortcut for NOAA weather just has a pastel pink square with the letter W in it.

Inexplicable!

It’s not a terrible problem - my shortcuts are all still there, in the same order in which I pinned them. However, one has to hunt through these mixed-up logos to find them!

I would appreciate any help that can be given! Thanks!

When clicking on the bookmarks icon, my ipad takes me to a screen where one of the tabs is Bookmarks, and Edit at the bottom right. However, my bookmarks are not there and they are not in menu toolbars or unsorted either. Where are they on my ipad?

I recently got a new phone, and was trying to put all of my bookmarks onto my new phone from the old one. I had not previously synced my laptop and phone, and thought that if I synced the two, the book marks from both the phone and the laptop would be available on both devices, and I could then sync them to the new phone and remove the old. Now that I’ve done it, my laptop displays the same bookmarks as before, with no new ones, and my phone bookmarks are completely blank. Did I seriously just lose all of my bookmarks? Is there any way to get them back?

When I go to Bookmarks on Firefox for iOS the past couple days, as I scroll the list freezes - I have to reboot Firefox completely as it won’t let me open a link or click done to get out of Bookmarks. Any ideas? I restarted the phone already.

Safari on an iPhone has the ability add a bookmark to the iphone home screen which makes organizing and getting to the desired bookmark easy. I would like to use Firefox instead of Safari but it doesn't appear that Firefox on iOS on an iphone has the ability to add a bookmark to the iPhone home screen. Is that correct? Or am I not doing something correctly.

Please give us an option to DELETE or not show “recent bookmarks” in your browser. BTW I am a monthly contributor but this issue really needs to be addressed in iPad, iPhone formats.

I am having major problems trying to get Firefox to run on my iPhone.

I use it as my primary browsers on my MacBook and all my bookmarks are syn from Safari.

On my iPhone Safari has been my only browsers

I have been trying to use Firefox but can NOT get Book Marks or passwords to load or transfer either from the iPhone safari or Mac Book FireFox

HELP this is crazy and must be an easy answer

Sincerely a frustrated FireFox iPhone user

I didn’t see a prompt for what I need to know. I think your premium subscription pocket sound nice. But I wanted to know if it would cover my wife and I or are you saying we both have to pay a separate fee. If I don’t have to pay two different fees, that would be worth it. I don’t see us using it very much. But I am interested in saving a website page so I can read it later. My wife may never use it because she isn’t very savvy when it comes to the internet and computers. I just don’t like to get something for myself and not have it available to my wife. I feel like I would be selfish. Please let me know

Each update iteration seems to make using bookmarks on my iPad require more navigation. Prior to the current update (early Feb 2022) when I clicked on the button to allow me to navigate to a bookmark I would select a folder and then a subfolder and then on a link in that folder. For subsequent navigation in the same session when clicking on the button to allow me to navigate, it opens to the subfolder previously selected.

Now when I click on the button I have to select the folder, then the subfolder, then the link. This seems to be a step backwards and is quite annoying.

The bookmarks that are shown on the shortcuts are getting distorted by time. Every 2 months, I have to re-install the browser to have decent bookmark symbols. This issue has been around for atleast a year.

I've turned off auto-complete on my Firefox iOS app, but it still suggests every bookmark I have that matches whatever I start typing. How can I turn this off - or is it just not an option?
