Firefox for iOS Support Forum

Hi, I was developing web application on Firefox IOS.

I would like to check if the cookies session is saved as expected on the phone.

Is there a way to collect the current page's cookies value on Firefox IOS ?

I am expecting some value like F12 (Develop Mode) on PC to collect the cookies value.

Thank you.

I just installed Firefox on my phone and iPad. Handoff has been handy while using Safari, but I see no Handoff features showing between my Mac and any device. Is there something I'm missing. Handoff is turned on on every device and the Mac.

App Store shows update available. When I try to update, it seems to be applying, but when blue circle completes, it goes back to showing update available. There is no error message. Checking the version on my device still shows 28.1.

iPhone 11 Pro. IOS 14

i used to use firefox as my entry in to otherapplications such as youtube without any trouble. i now find the way in very complicated without clear instructions. For instance i want to load a particular selection using youtube and it is not clear how i should load pa desired play list.

Some favicons that look great on Safari and other browsers looke terrible on Firefox. Even the big company one, Google News, looks awful and I don’t know how to fix it

Each time I open Firefox on iOS 14, a banner appears at the top momentarily. You can see the banner in question in the attached image. This banner appears regardless if the app is opened for the first time, or if it is started from the background. Will someone please explain what this banner is and how to get rid of it?

Thanks so much!

In the settings concerning website data and history, I see you can “clear” the data but does that mean it’s actually “deleted”? You can “clear“ the data listed on the screen and I don’t see it anymore. What happens to it exactly?On your “support” page info concerning data management the first paragraph uses the word “delete” but as you read the details of each component like cache, cookies, history etc., the word “clear” is used every time. “Clearing” and “Deleting” are 2 different functions of data control. I’ve noticed this for years from Firefox and other bowsers. And at one time the word “delete” was used often if not always concerning your history and other data collected but it has changed. So please explain to me what exactly is going on with “clearing” data instead of “deleting” data?

I have just switched to Firefox on iPad / Desktop / iPhone as it all syncs better than Edge, and the experience is much better than on Chrome.

I’m having major trouble however with password autofill - when I have multiple accounts (e.g on Google Analytics for example), as there seems to be no way to select which account to use.

On PC it’s fine, but on iPad / iPhone it’s impossible to select a different username / password.

Any suggestions would really help!

I use a database that operates best on Firefox, and it used to work on my iPad as well as laptop/desktop. I updated to iPadOS 13.7 yesterday and now my Firefox app won’t open the database software. It says it wants Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or higher.

I even deleted the Firefox app and reinstalled it but get the same message.

Suggestions? I really need two screens sometimes for my job.

I have two MacBook computers, both running latest iOS and Firefox is synced. With one I can play a game, but the other says I need flash. The one that works has Shockwave Flash plugin. The other has flashplayer extension. How can I get Shockwave Flash plugin installed? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So, while reading some webpages, I keep getting a "ribbon" that pops in up top, while I am scrolling. This drives me bat-s&%t crazy, as it is VERY distracting. Is there a way to shut this off??!! I've tried using different browsers. The ribbon, for lack of an accurate term, is circled in red.

When I use Firefox on iOS the web pages are not displaying properly and show the html instead of the data or label in the field. Is this a settings issue? Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no effect. Some pages are worse than others. See photo for example. Left side is Firefox, right side Safari.

Text is microscopic in Google search results and other web pages. How do I increase font size?

Updating iOS system settings for accessibility has no effect.

Safari does not have this issue.

now i'm writing the download pdf file function to support ios device. But for iPhone/iPad, after I click download and call the download function, the page will be directed to a messey code page. I will attach the screenshot in attachment.

But for desktop and android, all browsers works fine. Only the ios firefox is having this issue.

some of the javascript code are here:

     const blob = new Blob([downloadFileBolb], { type: 'application/octet-stream' });
     if (window.navigator.msSaveBlob) { // For IE only
       window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, 'file name')
     } else {
       const url = (window.URL || window.webkitURL).createObjectURL(blob);
       const tempLink = document.createElement('a');
       tempLink.style.display = 'none';
       tempLink.href = url;
       tempLink.download = 'file name';
       tempLink.target = '_blank';
       document.body.appendChild(tempLink);
       tempLink.click();
       setTimeout(() => {
         (window.URL || window.webkitURL).revokeObjectURL(url);
         document.body.removeChild(tempLink);
       },1000)
     }
