I put in a question on Firefox focus, non sexual, and was sent to pornography site, which blocked my attempt leave site. Firefox focus would not leave the site and each time I pressed the backwards key the site showed more pornography.So I uninstalled Firefox focus. Why does Firefox focus allow the hijacking of its site.

As the title says, the navigation bar (the one with the back, forward, trash and hamburger menu button) in Firefox Focus (I’m on iOS 16.1.1, iPhone XS) sometimes covers a part of the view, which is most noticeable when getting these cookie notifications at the bottom of websites. From my testing, it happens when entering the website from a link, and not when entering the URL directly into the address bar, and it fixes itself if you manage to scroll a little.

I have a 8" Android 10 tablet with FF Focus as a default browser. Half the width of screen is taken by four buttons (back, forward, reload and trash). On the phone I only have one (trash). I'd like to have similarly simple view on the tablet with only one button in front of address bar instead of four, since on a small tablet this creates clutter (often I can't see even a short address, only a domain name fits). Is it possible to achieve?

Thank you in advance for any ideas.

I have been using Firefox Focus for about 2 weeks and the blocked site tracker count is over 19,000 trackers already. Is it normal to see daily increases of hundreds or thousands of trackers like this? My browser speed is recently very slow and sometimes it hangs completely. I also get "usual traffic" notifications sometimes while browsing, and then Google requires me to prove I am a person and not a bot (via reCaptcha). Is this cause for concern? Does this potentially sound like there could be malware on my phone?

Firefox focus 109.0 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16.3

Hi there, I’ve used Firefox focus for a number of years but recently I’ve noticed an issue with the app crashing.

To reproduce this I think the app needs to have been open and running in the background for a long time (several hours). Then clicking the trash can icon seems to cause a slow down that within a few seconds makes the phone screen turn black and show a spinny icon before returning to the Lock Screen. Using multi-tasking to force close the app instead of the trash icon seems to circumvent this.

Especially for some sites, such as the Washington Post, when attempting to clear Focus by tapping the trash can, Focus freezes, then (both) the iPad or iPhone go black with a small spinning circle, rebooting to iPad's/iPhone's entry screen. This started happening recently, in early 2023, after updating iOS. Very very very (did I say "very"?) annoying. If this is not a current Focus bug report, it should be.
