I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

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).

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?!?!?!

It seems since the last major system update on my iphone11 pro max (512G), firefox (my primary browser) has been… weird.

Long keypress delays (inconsistent; about 1/3 of the time as bad as 3s to over 10s!); I notice these to a much lesser extent on other browsers, but also on other browsers (why I’m singling out the iOS 18.1 release behavior changes; currently: iOS 18.3.2)

Frequent “crashes” (app simply closing) in the middle of activity);

Scroll unresponsiveness, similar in occurrence and delay times to keypress issues;

I have wondered if I’m having: • malicious software problem (?) • hardware intermittent failures (my battery needed replacement, which I’ve recently done and many things on the phone operate better, likely better use of multi-cores) • iOS software depending on new chips, and iphone 11 not having - software solution w/in iOS which is… inadequate

One thing I’ve noticed which is consistent (something I have not used before these behaviors, but partly this - and phone reboots - because of it):

Attempts to close all tabs consistently, always fails.

Any help appreciated.

Since updating, I can't rearrange the tabs. When I press and hold a tab, the preview expands and some menus appear, but I can't move them by dragging them. I use iPhone12.

Since the 140.0 update i have been unable to move tabs on ios mobile by tapping and dragging them as i was able to in previous versions. is there a new way to move tabs on mobile or has this function been removed? if it was removed (purposely or accidentally) is there any plan to bring it back? its really frustrating not being able to organize my tabs anymore :(.

I have searched repeatedly and cannot find a way to turn on vertical tabs in Firefox for iOS — iPad specifically. Everything I find seems to refer to Mac.

Thank you.

For the past few weeks, it seems to me, I have noticed that if I close a tab on Firefox for iOS, and at some point later I force-quite Firefox, then the next time I open Firefox, the tab that I had closed will reload as though I had never closed the tab or app. I am curious if this is something the developers are aware of and can fix? Or if there is some other solution?

Feature Request: Tab Groups in Firefox for iOS

Please add native Tab Groups to Firefox on iOS. Organizing tabs by project, context, or mood would streamline mobile browsing. Ideally, they’d support custom names and sync across devices for a cohesive experience.

Transient issue where the top of the page overlaps with the task bar (whatever it's called on the iPad) so the plus sign for new tab is under the iPad's battery indicator. Can't close tabs. Seems to happen when reopening the iPad, usually corrects after a few times of switching apps, but very inconsistent. Deleted and reinstalled app, but problem continues. Others have reported the issue.
