I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

open downloaded pdf from "download tab" in new tab always. Opening in the same last tab, destroys the opened tab which often not support back option e. g. Banking websites.

Pls give option of new tab opening of downloaded files.

After I sync it with the Firefox browser on my laptop it crashes on my iPhone. I've done everything from updating my phone software to updating the app. Restarting and deleting and reinstalling and resyncing the accounts. Once I sync it the phone app crashes. I prefer to have Firefox as my default browser but now I'm having second thoughts.

Appreciate the help. Thank you in advance.

Hello, Since I updated my iPhones to iOS 26 hell broke loose. On my iPhone 14 ProI can no longer use Firefox as it quits when I open it On my 15 Pro I can use it but most of the time I half only half of the window. I do want you to be my default browser. Can you help, please? How come there is not one article on this? Many thanks! Natalia Great fan of yours

Hello,

I’d like to share some feedback on the new Firefox update for iPhone. The new menu layout feels much less functional, and I’m disappointed to see that progressive web app support is no longer available.

In addition, I can’t find any option to share webpages by email or into apps like WhatsApp, which I used to rely on regularly. This missing feature is a major inconvenience and has led me to use Safari more often for tasks I previously preferred Firefox for.

Could you please reconsider these changes, or at least restore the ability to share webpages easily?

Thank you.

How can I revert to the old layout of Firefox? In the new update the settings button and the tabs button swapped places and I don't like it as it doesn't make sense. I also want to have the settings button open the scroll down menu on the right instead of coming up from the bottom of the screen as it doesn't make sense to have that occur.

I can't find a way to turn it off in settings, but whenever I reopen the window the last tab I was on is open even if I closed it before.

Is there actually a way to turn that off?

I don’t remember from when, but after some point of an update of Firefox for iOS, whenever I type something in Korean into address bar for quick search, it automatically changes my inputs to English and extra character appends at the front. This will cause great inconvenience for Korean users. I hope Mozilla team fix this problem soon.

I have several search engines setup and have been using them without any problems. Now with iOS 26 and Firefox 143.0.1 (61598), I’ve lost the ability to select the engine when typing in the address bar. But I found that it works fine when I set the address bar to display on the bottom. Did iOS 26 break this?

iOS 26 / Firefox 143.0.1 When trying to delete “all site data” under settings - data management, nothing actually happens although the stored sites disappear at the moment. But when closing and opening the browser again I find the “deleted” site data still there. It only seems to work if I select a few specific sites and hit delete data.

Hi- with the most recent update to firefox mobile for iOS- I have lost the ability to quickly toggle between search engines. I prefer to use duck duck go but sometimes the results just aren’t what I need and I have to go to google. But now I am not seeing that option. Did it go away? Can I give feedback that this is much more clunky and likely to force me to default to google instead??? Thank you!

I have an older iPhone and I run Firefox. You must have updated it because the homepage “house” icon in the bottom bar has disappeared. Settings still has the preferred homepage URL but there is no icon. This is unacceptable!!

The new UI for Firefox mobile is now very similar to that of Safari’s. While some find it easier to use, I personally do not enjoy it, as the UI was one of the bigger reasons as to why I made the switch to Firefox. A simple tab in the “Appearance” settings would be more than enough.

My iOS app just updated with a new ui for the mobile settings menu. It'll take me some time to get used to this, but I'm not opposed to it. However, it also changed the order of the icons in the bottom toolbar so that tabs view is the fifth icon rather than the fourth, and the menu icon has been switched vice-versa. This has caused my muscle memory of using the app to repeatedly tap the wrong icon, which has turned my usage of the app incredibly sloggish. If Mozilla wants to change the default ordering of these icons, I don't care that much, but surely it seems prudent to give the end user an option to change the order back to the previously established pattern? Having the menu icon in the bottom-right-most location on screen feels the most natural to me.
