I-Firefox iOS Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I have no idea why but i went to my tabs page on my iphone and ALL of my tabs were just gone. I went to where the recently closed page should be and there was nothing there, no tabs except one. I've looked around on the support page and couldnt find anything for this. I have severe memory problems and the tabs help keep me organized and reminded of tasks and things so please help me.

Thank you

I use the iOS Firefox app as the primary browser on my iPhone 12. Usually everything works fine and I keep between 3-4 to sometimes 10 or so tabs open for things that I still want to read or get back to. I close Firefox, open it again later, add and close a tab or two and all is well.

However, sometimes (I believe when Firefox is closed, but I'm not 100% sure), when I click on a URL from another app or ask an app to open a web page in my system browser (which have set to Firefox app as the default), it opens the new tab and ALL of my other tabs are lost. They are just closed and there is no way to get them back other than scrolling through all of my history and trying to find the related URLs. If some of the tabs are older, that makes it almost impossible to find because history also includes all of my browsing history form my synced laptop Firefox. Speaking of syncing, you might think that tab syncing between Firefox running on different devices would help. It doesn't, because it appears to sync the new "only 1 tab open" state almost immediately to my other browsers. So if I check the tab history from my laptop, all the older (just closed) tabs are no longer shown in the tab history for my phone.

This is very frustrating and, honestly, about the only reason I would strongly consider leaving Firefox and using a different browser for my phone. As a workaround, I try to bookmark sites and add some to shortcuts, but you shouldn't need to do that for every tab that one just wants to leave open for a few days and get back to.

Anyone have any ideas to help? I regularly update my apps and currently have iOS Firefox version 108.

I am on 108.1. The issue is that when I close Firefox with one tab open, wait a minute or so, and then re-open Firefox, a new second tab is opened in addition to the first. If I leave the two tabs open, close Firefox, wait a minute or so, then re-open Firefox, a new third tab is opened. This will continue endlessly if I repeat the process so I end up with many tabs open which I have to manually close. I don’t remember this occurring in older versions, although I am unable to tell you on which version this started. Is there anything I can do to prevent Firefox from opening a new tab each time I open the app (so that I only get the tabs that were open when I last closed the app)? Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

When I open a new tab in iOS, it does not appear automatically appear in the tab switcher, and only shows up if I toggle to private browsing and back to normal. Then once I go to a tab and open the tab switcher again, same problem. I had this problem start over a year ago, and in that time, after waiting through multiple updates to see if it would solve itself, I did an uninstall/reinstall (which did solve the problem for a few days before it came back), cleared website data, got a new phone, and did the uninstall/reinstall again. Nothing works except the uninstall/reinstall, which works for a week tops (not worth having to redo my pinned pages and open tabs every time though). Please help me figure out what’s going on here.

The first Tab that pops up upon opening Firefox does not pick up the entire word/subject I am looking for. I use an Ipad/IOS and my search engine is Bing. When I type in the subject I am searching for, only half of the first word is picked up. I have to move to the next open tab to retype the word. It only happens on the first tab. Example: looking for Genealogy. It only picks up “ealogy” the first 3-4 letter ALWAYS MISSING. Can someone help. Thank you, Lynn

Whenever I want to open a link in an app the browser asks me to accept or cancel. Great but how do I and is there a way to make it automatically open apps? This is only on iOS

Hi, I just installed Firefox on my iPhone and I was looking into whether tab groups are possible, and it didn't seem so but I came across [article] that is confusing. Under "View Open Tabs", it references "tab groups in ascending order", but I can't seem to figure out how to create these groups. Is this actually possible? Thank you!

When switching to an open tab, the keyboard pops up for no reason. I found this issue in this forum but the response was a really lame "must be an Apple problem." It's not.

After upgrading firefox for ios to version 110 on my ipad pro the favicons for many of the tabs are incorrect. For example, a tab for weather.gov is showing the favicon for the weather channel. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix for it?

Let's say I'm trying to make a payment on a page. If I leave the page to get my credit card information from another app, I can't return directly to the page I was just on, it just returns me to my home page, and then I have to go to my tabs and re-select the page I was on before.

The latest and previous versions for over one year-two years have had problems with tabs.

1. My account is logged off after closing FF with the active tab opened and starting again. Whatever service I am logged in to is logged off. JUST TRY IT and don't fuck about it. The services in other tabs are logged in but not in the active one.

2. opening a link in a new tab ("right click") throws me somewhere in the list of my tabs. It is not opened just next to the active tab. just somewhere ahead. eg I have 80 tabs. My active tab is 60th. the link opened in the new tab is 75th. Unlike in Chrome next to the active tab.

3. tabs sometimes "lose" their address. They are blank. They very rarely open properly after a few restarts of FF.

4. moving tabs is very difficult unlike in Chrome or Safari

WHen I sign into Bank Of America and click on to an area when I want to go to : Payments, it comes up with " Request text to long". This has never happened before. Does not do so with Safari

Ugh i've had it with firefox it's so buggy on mobile. I've tried to make a post about an issue with tabs resetting to their original position after being moved around, but it didn't post at all and acted as if I was never signed in and now i've lost the whole thing. and it keeps asking me to sign in everytime I do something on this website, so it'll be a miracle of this post even makes it through.

so yesterday i was using the Firefox app on ios and today when i reopen the app today all of my tabs were deleted, i had hundreds of important tabs on the regular browsing and a few on the private browsing that were deleted; but i never pressed the trash can at the bottom left of the screen, it is also important to know that the history is still there for the regular browsing but it would take time to reopen all of the tabs, not to mention that some date back for about 1-2 years ago and i cant recover the history or the tabs for the private browsing, or at least i dont know how to. I am guessing that there was some kind of crash or bug that happened when i closed the app. If there is any possibility to recover all of the tabs for regular and private browsing it would be awsome

OS, IOS Ipad.

Since the last update, the private browsing tab is retaining history. This has never happened to me before, is it supposed to happen or is it a fault?

I used to be able to place a bet on the horses using my nsw tab account, or sportsbet account but recently i get a message that i cannot open them as it is an unsecured site and it cannot be verified what can i do. Helpppppp?

I like to keep tabs open for awhile until I get around to reading them, sometimes I'll open firefox and they're just all closed and gone. I have the older tabs thing on, and tried updating the app but it already is up to date.
