I either have some malware or a bug on my iPhone that only affects my Mozilla account. I will open a tab then try to go back to that tab later and it looks like the pic below with just an “L” in the upper left corner of the tab and when I open it there is nothing there. I’ve cleared my browser hx and even restarted my iPhone several times to try and fix the problem but it’s still there. Any help with how to get rid of this?

In trying to install Firefox on IOS, the authentication codes don't work; the downloaded codes don't work; scanning the QR code doesn't work (on both iphone and ipad). I cannot log onto Firefox on either device. And of course I ultimately get locked out.

Since the latest update I cannot access at least one site P&O cruises nz, the site comes up but is not the correct site. I was getting an error message about Norton security and the url being too long, for that and other sites. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, but still cannot access the correct site. I no longer get the error message, but the site is incorrect. If I use safari it comes up with the correct site.

I've had this problem of on my iPhone 14 Mac Firefox (now v113.2 where )tabs are taking long to delete and they freeze once I try to. After waiting awhile, anywhere up to 30 seconds or more, they either finally delete, but still slow or the app crashes and that seems to make the deletions fast, like they originally used to be. I've seen that other people seem to have this problem and I just wondered if a solution for this has finally been found?

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to fix this...

I use Fire fox on my ipda to read books (web published manga and light novels) ever since the release of latest version (that has the "New screen") it looses the page I am up to and often revers to a random previous page. for the past 4 year plus I have had numerous (30+) tabs opened to web sites on the current page I am up to in given web sites. this worked almost flawlessly until you change the home screen. The Version I have installed A.T.M. is 113.1(30885) The "New screen" I am referring to has the titles Firebox Browser,Jump Back In, and Recently Saved. If this Screen shows up after moving away from Firefox for a random time (some time short some times long) instead of showing what the tab had on it. if it shows the new screen and I pull down to refresh the screen I may get the web site I had before but it will not be the latest page I was on. I have taken to book marking the latest page I am on since Firefox has become so unreliable. I am also only running 10 tabs because as I loose the sites that I have been reading for years I have been book marking them and closing. I am at the point where I will be moving away from firefox on the iOS devices as Safari, Chrome, and iCab Mobile are more reliable and do not loose my tabs current web page. attached is an example of a page I was reading yesterday and returned to it day, I book marked it. note the chapter numbers. please note the version number of iOS and Firefox have changed a number of times since I notices this fault/bug my device it set to autoupdate.

Can not save images from Google Images, by holding down on the image, and then tapping save image. The menu simply does not pop-up. Holding down on the image results in selection of the image description below. Sometimes you can not save it form the website either, but that is because of website configuration and you can not save it on other browsers, but on other browsers you can save from Google Images by holding down on an image, so it is only the issue of Firefox and not the Google Images website. This issue seems to be present for over 2 years based on online feedback, and it is still not fixed.

In the image attached, I’m trying to scroll through the search suggestions given by “Firefox Suggest”. However, when I try to swipe up in the red circled area, instead of scrolling down, I only click on the page shown in the red circled area. This behavior is new and was not always there. I could previously scroll down while swiping up in the red-circled area. Also, in the red-circled area, it looks like there is a longer list of "Firefox Suggest" options that the keyboard is covering, but I can't get access to this longer list because I can't swipe up. What should I do to fix this?

Hello

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this, but it’s regarding something you should know. When I first started working on a computer full time I choose Firefox as my browser. The reason being that I thought working on a computer shouldn’t be just entry work. I thought it should be somewhat fun as well.

Now I think my first version of Firefox was around ver. 15. With that one I could change the whole look of the browser to make it more fun, it offered many very useful add ons, and it was a very fast and reliable browser. Because of this when I had to choose an email client I chose Thunderbird, because it had many of the same fun options.

So I worked on a computer for 10 years and I think by that time Firefox was somewhere North of ver. 60. I think due to all of the improvements in speed and security I couldn’t dress it up like the earlier models, but you could change the banner at the top which was neat, and almost all of the add ons had been constantly updated my the developers so I never had to delete a single one. Plus things were continually being added to the browser itself, so all in all I was never dissatisfied with it and recommended it to anyone looking for a browser to use on their computer.

Unfortunately I no longer work or have a computer and I am forced to do everything on an iPad. Naturally my first choice for a browser was Firefox. Of course I can’t do the fun things with this mobile browser, which I accepted because it did pretty much everything else just as it should. Until it started going downhill. Now, your mobile browser is, in a word, awful. Here are just a few of the problems it now has:

1. Web pages. When I first started using it a web page would be there until I closed it. No matter how many pages were open. Now, even if I have only two or three pages open, I close Firefox down and launch it again, the tabs are there showing what pages were open, but no URLs, and thus no pages. Everything is blank. 2. Speed. Our wi-fi has speeds ranging from 100Mpbs to 300Mpbs for downloads. But lately, some of those very same pages, well, let’s just say I could go and get a cup of coffee and they’d still be loading. 3. Logins. This is the worst issue. I must have logged into at least two dozen sites in Firefox and you know how many logins it saved? Two. Totally unacceptable! I don’t have the time or patience to continually look up login info that Firefox should have saved. It doesn’t even ask if I want to save that info.

So, I have kept Firefox on my iPad, and I will check every once in a while to see if there have been any improvements. But, until then, Google has become my default browser. It’s rather sad when the people who make the basic engine for the TOR browser, the world’s most private browser, can’t make a mobile browser that works properly.

So, until later Greg

Phone and Firefox up to date. This is NOT immediately after iOS update nor after a Firefox update. I have settings confirmed that should keep me in private browsing. Triple checked this. Even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and reestablished proper settings.

I’ll be browsing in a private browser, will re-open Firefox and SOMETIMES, not always, I’ll be in a non-private browser.

What gives??

Procedure 1. Open Firefox iOS 2. Open some pages 3. Force-close the app 4. Open Firefox again

Expected result - The tabs that previously opened is kept and possible to access

Actual result - The tabs exists, but displaying default new tab page, cannot visit the page - pageback/forward is not working - All tabs are affected

note - By pressing down pageback/forward, there is history which says "internal://local/sessionstore?url=..." is generated. - There are some people on my local app store (JP) complaining the same issue. - After erasing and reinstalling the app, this issue happened again.

The app is almost unusable because of this bug.

Hey Folks,

I got a problem using Mozilla Firefox with iPadOS on my Apple iPad Pro 12,9 M1 with Apple Magic Keyboard.

The problem is about the “right click“ on a link on a page, it’s intermittent, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. If I open a page and want to open a link in a new tab, I tap the link with two fingers or with one finger and control. When it doesn’t work, at first I got to long tap the link on the touchscreen to show the right click menu to open the link in a new tab. After this procedure I can use the two fingers tap or control tap to open the right click menu.

I hope you can give me some clues to resolve the problem.

Thank you,
