Coming from the Android version there are a few things that are wonky with shortcuts and tabs on the iOS version.

1. For various tabs, the Previous Page function doesn't work correctly. It either loses its memory of what should have been the previous page (even if the previous page was the starting page). It either does nothing, or it loads some page that was not actually the previous page.

2. The web-icons on the shortcut page are momentarily offset/shifted over by one so that the last web-icon is now in the first position and the rest are shifted over. This appearance corrects itself after a moment or two. Also, the appearance of the web-icons is sometimes small and modern looking, then it reverts to larger more clunky looking ones.

3. When I'm in the start-up view (which is my shortcuts), it invokes the keyboard as if my default action is to begin typing an address into the URL field. I must dismiss the keyboard before I can tap shortcuts that are blocked by the keyboard. It would be better if I could tap the URL to invoke the keyboard when I want it.

I am using Firefox (117.3 (34056)) on an iPhone 14 and just upgraded to iOS 17. Both before and after my system update, Firefox keeps automatically logging me out of websites even when I tell the website to remember me or to stay logged in. I haven't used Firefox on mobile for a while but this is quite annoying for some websites that I frequent.

Dear, I’m trying to switch from Safari to Firefox on iOS but I’m having the following issues:

1- Dark mode is always on and changes every pages color. I have to manually switch it off and, if I close the app, it switches back on automatically. I would love to make it always off (currently I’m using dark theme but I tried to use light theme to check if it keeps dark mode off even after closing the app however it doesn’t… leads to my second issue);

2- I selected light theme and it was working until I close the app. When I reopen it goes back to dark theme (and dark mode too). I chose the option manually switch however it goes automatically anyways.

3- I use Google as my main search engine and I always login to my account however, after I close the app, it logoff automatically and I have to login back again.

I don't know if this is a system wide iOS issue or something specific to Firefox, but I'm not able to disable link preview when long pressing a link. I was able to disable it in Safari which also disabled it in iMessage, but link previews are still showing up in Firefox and Firefox Focus. It's very surprising for a browser focused on privacy and security. I should not have to make a connection to another server in order to see the URL behind a link. Automatically downloading from an unknown URL opens my device up to zero day exploits and privacy violations. Does anyone know how to disable this completely or submit a bug report to Firefox?

I'm trying to determine if this is something happening in the browser itself or some terrible function of certain websites, but several times recently while using Firefox, webpages regularly refresh themselves. Is this supposed to be happening, and how do I make it stop? I'm on iOS Firefox 117.3 (34056).
