Firefox for iOS Community Forum

During the configuration of my iPad, I noticed that there is no option to add a custom query URL, like it exists under Android. Therefore, after adding the custom search engine (and when it's chosen) the search suggestions are missing. While I know that there are technical limitations regarding Firefox on IOS/IPadOS, I don't think/hope that this is one of them.

The problem began when I was browsing Google maps through Firefox, it gave the prompt to view it through the Google maps app instead. Google maps needed an update, I was on low data mode, I got impatient and canceled that update, then somehow Firefox wasn't allowing me to finish a sentence in the search bar afterwards. Now it doesn't let me open new tabs, exit out of already open tabs, or access the browser settings without freezing for 3 seconds and going to the home screen.

I've updated Firefox to version 139.2, I've searched for some crash log information for iPhone 11 and didn't understand it too well (one suggested to search from Privacy and Security->Analytics and Improvements->Analytics data and to search for "client" but got nothing). I couldn't figure out what more to do with the app from my home screen or settings, I turned my phone off and on yesterday yet it still happened. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm not experienced with technical things and don't want to risk having my bookmarks or passwords be erased in any way.

IOS version is 18.4.1 if that helps.

I'm a big fan of Firefox and particularly appreciate the ability to automatically clear my Browse history upon closing the application. I've been trying to find this feature on Firefox for iOS, following steps similar to those available on the desktop version (Settings > Privacy & Security > History > "Clear history when Firefox closes").

However, I haven't been able to locate these options on the iOS app. Is this feature currently unavailable on Firefox for iOS? If so, are there any plans for its development in future updates? This is a functionality I highly value for privacy and would love to see implemented on the mobile version.

Thank you for any insights!

Greetings all,

The topic that best describes my question / challenge is Firefox browser settings- at least I hope there is setting for this. I have looked within Firefox and the appropriate iOS settings but I am coming up blank so far.

Important to note, the behavior I describe below is specific to Firefox for iOS. Using Safari, I get a different behavior -one that I used to see in Firefox.

In the screenshot I have attached we can see a website offering the first portion of an authentication prompt: the field to enter an email address.

Placing the cursor inside the email address field -to select / activate it- the text ‘Hide My Email’ appears just above the keyboard. I have circled this in red to highlight what I am referring to.

What I used to see in this space is integration with my Password Manager of choice. Now I see ‘Hide My Email’ and I cannot figure out how to get the password manager back in there.

As I mentioned earlier, Safari is showing my password manager in this space -as expected- but Firefox is not.

I am not using ‘Hide My Email’ through iCloud+. I have not configured it within iOS, and I don’t see a way to turn it off.

Ideas?

Buenos días, les reitero mi consulta de ayer. Con la actualización de la última versión ha desaparecido la carpeta “Firefox” de Archivos. Solo puedo acceder a los archivos descargados a través de la propia app. No se descargan allí automáticamente lo que pierde su navegador la funcionalidad que se le requiere. O lo solucionan o desgraciadamente tendré que acudir a un navegador del oligopolio. Muchas gracias.

I cant get the browser to add bookmarks and the "For quick access. place bookmarks here....." doesn't go away All of my bookmarks I had before are gone too. But i don't care too much about that i jut want that message at the top of the screen to go away an i want to be able to add new bookmarks. Can you help me?

How do I get rid of the, “Close Old Tabs” feature?

It is in the way and I continually hit that instead of closed all tabs. I don’t want that feature. I don’t need that feature. It’s in the way. I’d like it to disappear.

Sometimes I’m in Firefox and then have to switch to another app for a reference. When I come back to Firefox it opens in a new homepage instead of where I was I was before switching. Is there any way to prevent a new page from popping up when I switch back to Firefox? I see nothing in settings that might relate to the issue.

The privacy screen on the Firefox iOS 139.1 is missing and the setting to block third cookies is not working because I am getting lot and lot of cookies in the Data management that I have to delete.

Also, Google is all over the place with there cookies. Google setting blocking item on the right side of the homepage of C-span.org and keeps adding its ads at the beginning of the live streaming.
