I-Firefox iOS Community Forum

Hi My firefox on 2 macbooks, Ipad and Iphone are all signed in and sync is on but the passwords etc don't sync. In fact, if I make any new account on one device, despite repeated syncing attempts, the passwords NEVER sync.

Hello Since few week I’m not able to use fiorefox on my iOS devices (iOS 16.5). The application is unusable :( it crashes in few seconds even if I don’t try to open new tabs. I tried to remove the app and reinstall again Firefox but without success at the moment I have the version 114.3. Do you have any suggestions on what I can try? I don’t know if this can help but Firefox focus and DuckDuckGo browser are working fine on my devices (I guess they share a good amount of the Firefox source code)

Thanks a lot Andrea

do you already know, that firefox v115 on IOS does not close the tabs when you close itself? I also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have IOS 16.5.1 on Iphone 13 Pro Max with latest Firefox. Is there any solution?

Since the most recent update, Firefox now does not close the private tabs on app closure as it should even though the button to say delete this is actually active.

Also, when listening to music through Soundcloud or Bandcamp or YouTube, even after the tab with the music is closed, the music continues to play. This has all started today and is highly frustrating. As is trying to find this feedback page! 45 minutes into trying to “get help” I finally found somewhere to write this problem out. (Though I doubt Mozilla are interested in fixing the issue, judging by the complete lack of customer support and their labyrinthine Help section which I have to say is NOT in any way helpful, just needlessly stressful).

Recently Firefox has started to automatically log me out of the sites that I regularly visit on the iOs version of the browser. I then have to keep logging back in each time I visit the sites. It's also incredibly finicky in the fact that sometimes I will be logged into one site, but not another, as if it's slowly deleting the history/logins or temporarily remembering certain sites before forgetting them again.

I'm on the regular tab for the browser app, not in the private/incognito one, but this continues to happen.

Trying to find an answer online leads me to people talking about a "never remember history" toggle, but never where to find it on iOs, just on the desktop browser. The only equivalent I can find for this is the "clear private data" under the data management tab, but when I try to toggle those off for browsing history, cache and cookies, they are auto switched back to on when I leave the settings as there is no way, or indication, of saving.

I don't know if this is something to do with the most recent update(Firefox 115.0) or what, but I'd like to figure out an answer because the continuous having to log in on my own device that I only use into what are my accounts on sites is starting to get frustrating.

All of a sudden I cannot access common sites like the postal service. A note says I do not have access and gives an error code:73640084513950300371530676155619816679720034968299102359

It has happened on more than one site, both https

Every single day I need to go through my history and reopen all of my tabs that I previously had open. I have no idea why they keep closing, but have done so since the most recent update. I’m honestly ready to switch to a different browser until this gets fixed because I’m losing my mind over it.

Any help?

When I try to access the internet with the browser, I get the Proxy server not found error, but the Proxy server option is turned off. https://prnt.sc/Z50tJ_dqe-zN https://prnt.sc/4ucbcQZmqusO

I have an Iphone 11 Pro with iOS version 16.5.1, and I have been having some problems with the Firefox app. I have a number of tabs on my browser, with some of them being very old. I was trying to clear some of them up and I noticed that a good portion of them will not load. Even though I can see their titles in the tab, when I select them, only a blank white page loads up, not even with a URL bar, so I am unable to reload the site. When I try to tap on the tab for longer than a few seconds to bring up additional options, the whole app crashes.

What can be done about this?

Hi, this has happened twice recently where I have had a number of tabs open on firefox on my phone and suddenly they all vanish. They do not show up in recently closed. If they were marked inactive I have no way to access them. I have no idea what happened but it’s really frustrating as between the two times this has happened I have lost probably 150+ tabs.

Firefox on iOS crashed when I toggles the inactive tabs button on and off and I had about 48 tabs as well 300 + private tabs open for years and when I clicked on the restore tabs button, it did not work and nothing came back. Can you please help me restore the session? I really need those private tabs back so I can save them accordingly. The history is there for the normal tabs but the private ones are the ones I really need back. I just need to be able to restore that session. I can provide log files as needed. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I would like to recover my tabs, I tried the going into setting and going to that other website but that did not work for me and I do not know what to do anymore, the tabs are not on my history anymore like they did not exist. And it's acting on my computer like it was never a synced device so I have absolutely nothing of anything I had on my phone it is all gone and can not find anything I did on my phone on my synced laptop.

So im useing firefox to block adds and pop ups when reading manga, the website changes the color of a link to a chapter after you have clicked it to show that you have read it. But Firefox “forgets” this information from time to time making it hard for me to track what I’m reading. Since I follow and actively read around 150 different manga, it’s hard for me to remember them all by name, so this tracking feature is really helpful for me. But Firefox removes this information. How do I turn off this “anti tracking” feature without allow adds again. It seems to delete this information on a schedule so I should be able to keep this info without having all the invasive adds

For the last 2 days, Firefox mobile for iOS will randomly and without warning close all tabs. These tabs do not appear in the Recently Closed section of the browser history, and that section is now entirely blank.

When choosing to open the Last Tab as your starting tab, it just opens the first tab of all the tabs you have open. Seems that setting it to Homepage does the same thing. I deleted Firefox and and reinstalled; still no change.

I always use and have set the opening screen to the “last tab” option, but since version 115.1 was released, when closing and reopening FF (or after it refreshes itself) it reopens on the very first tab.

If I close that tab, it opens on the new first tab, same thing if I rearrange them.

If it’s useful, I have the “inactive tabs” option disabled, and have like, 150~200 tabs open atm.
