I-Firefox iOS Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I used to like Firefox, but the recent change to how tabs work have rendered it all but unusable on IOS for me.

I have lots of tabs open, for lots of reasons. But unlike before, when I open the tab view, I always get transported up to the top, regardless of where I was. This significantly degrades the tabs experience, to the point where I find myself switching to a different browser more and more. But this too is untenable; I find that more and more sites don't work at all in Safari, and I am uncomfortable with sharing more of my online experience with Google. Of course, there are more browsers still, but splitting my browsing across more browsers is distracting and introduces new logistical problems.

Also, used to be I could open a tab and it would pop up next to the current tab, or at least vaguely nearby. Now, since a few weeks back, instead I find that new tabs appear somewhere 2/3 down the list of tabs; I could live with this if it was an occasional annoyance, like it used to be, but now, I am basically always in the wrong place.

Googling for a bit, I understand that tabs on mobile were overhauled a few weeks ago. But unfortunately, this basically wrecked Firefox for me. Can we please get the old behavior back, at least as an option?

Is there a configuration option I need to know about, or a bug report I can sign up to follow?

Within the last few days my firefox app on my iphone has stopped functioning correctly. When I open a new tab, instead of opening it right next to the previous tab, it opens them at the bottom. It gets weirder because moving tabs around causes those previous tabs to potentially appear where they should but other tabs are also moving around weirdly as well. I've had tabs at the bottom appear at the top, tabs in the middle move to the bottom, and a general weirdness to where tabs are and where they're getting moved to when I move other tabs.

I've also been able to initiate multiple crashes when I move a tab that's been moved to the top while I was moving another tab that was supposed to be at the top back up there, to the bottom where the tab originally was at the very bottom. If I had to describe it, it's like the app is having problems knowing where tabs are supposed to be or which tab is where.

Both the app and the iphone 6 are to the latest updates of both the OS and the firefox app (I'd argue the problems probably started around the time the firefox app updated but it autoupdates so I can't be certain).

The IOS home button placement is by in large the dumbest idea I’ve seen on a web browser to date. For years the refresh button has been right there exactly where its perfectly useful, easily accessible but not in the way as I use the refresh button fairly often for various reasons. But now its the home button, a feature I've never used and a feature I can’t think of a particular use for. Which is fine I’m not the only user in the world I don't expect that every feature can be tailored exactly to my tastes, I'll just pop into the settings disable the home button and move the refresh button back to where it works best for me like on desktop... but I can’t do that for some gods forsaken reason, don't get me wrong I understand app development is difficult but I for a fact you can make adjustable menus in IOS, I've personally done it for a college project.

And yes, yes I'm aware you've added the pull down to refresh function which is neat i guess but utterly useless when I'm 8 miles down a page and I subconsciously hit the home button since its where the refresh button use to be and now whatever i was looking at is buried once more in the bowels of the internet with no way to just hit a back button to return to that page. Its beyond dumb, so be smart either move it back or make a way for people to put it back.

I cannot get any of on line CNN news videos to play on my new Mac Book pro or my ipad..on Fire Fox But,, play on my iphone. which is Safari, My Computer also plays back when on Safari?? Why are my ipad and mac book pro playing on Firefox?

I have a lot of bookmarks in my safari browser that I would like to get added to my Firefox browser which I now want to use as my default on my iPad, or manually add them directly into Firefox via new searches. I have added new ones, but the I can only get 4 rows on my Firefox start screen.

Please tell me how to import the bookmarks from my safari and/or how I can get more rows shortcuts on my Firefox start screen and/or how to show bookmarks in Firefox.

There is no longer a email link option in menu. I have set mailto to gmail as usual but when I use FILE > SHARE the only option is my IOS mail account, which I don't ever use. Please advise.

I want to have a bunch of pornhub.com tabs open from last time I used it, but the tabs didn’t keep a preview and at least some opened into a new tab! This is pretty shitty! Come on guys!

All the other information sync perfectly. (e.g., bookmarks, open tabs, logins and passwords) However, my iPhone seems can only download browsing histories, can't upload.

Which means On iPhone: I can see both Desktop's and iPhone's histories. On Desktop: I can only see Desktop's histories.

I tried reinstall and login, clicked Sync many times and waited for hours, I don't think it's because of delaying. Can someone tell me what I maybe miss?

I'm using Firefox for IOS 39.0.
