Firefox for iOS Support Forum

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?

I’m having difficulty with Firefox on an iPad mini fifth generation running iOS 16.4.1 and today’s version of Firefox. I’ve used Firefox for years with Duck Duck Go as search engine with no problem. Today without warning Firefox stopped accepting URLs typed into the search bar from the Homepage (or any page). It simply ignores the typing and flickers momentarily, keeping the existing URL and page. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, changing the default search engine from Duck Duck Go to Firefox, and changing from a custom homepage to the Firefox homepage. No luck. Please advise.

I’ve followed the instructions for turning off Firefox suggestions, but have a couple that continue to show. They are not bookmarks.

I’ve tried deleting browsing history.

Thanks

Hello all, I am a developer and am currently working on an website. My domain is on go daddy and my application is deployed on heroku. I have pointed my domain name on go daddy to the heroku DNS and have set up forwarding so it is always sent to https instead of http. IE example.com goes to https://www.example.com and www.example.com goes to https://www.example.com

This works across all browsers and devices, chrome on desktop, safari on desktop, firefox on desktop, chrome app, and safari app.

However, on the Firefox mobile app for IOS, only entering example.com redirects correctly. www.example.com does not forward to https://www.example.com, it instead always goes to http://www.example.com

Is this a common issue with firefox mobile app for IOS? Any other developers know a fix for this? I am certain all my heroku and go daddy stuff is set up correctly. I need this to redirect correctly as my application requires https connection.

Thank you in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

Since yesterday’s update, whenever I try to touch the address bar to enter in something (anything at all), it flashes for a bit and doesn’t do anything. It’ll show the search engine and go back to its usual state. I’ve never had this issue before.

I’ve tried redownloading the app on my iPad (Silicon iPad from 2022. Firefox and my iPad are at the latest version.), but nothing’s worked.

I’m out of options. Can anyone help?

having now gone over to Firefox from Safari I am still finding my way around, so if the answer to this is obvious, I apologise.

One of the more useful aspects of Safari was typing a word into the search window of an open page and getting the options of searching the web or searching on that page. I can see that there is that option within the menu of Firefox but accessing it is a nuisance. Is there a way of either giving me the option within the internet search window or less convenient, adding that icon to the title bar.

Thanks

The latest iOS app was supposed to fix the problems with logins, but it persists. Firefox logs me out of websites frequently throughout the day. Refreshing or going back into the website usually fixes the issue temporarily and I can view the site without logging back in, but it’s ridiculous that’s it’s necessary to do so. Also, although I’ve cleared cache and history, an unwanted website auto fills when typing in the address bar. Been a user for the last 10 or more years.

Hello,

When I scroll down a page, the address & tab bars disappear, and I can’t seem to understand how to make them reliably come back. Sometimes scrolling up a notch will make the tabs bar reappear, with a grey bar underneath (which should be the address bar but is just a plain grey rectangle).

The only consistent way to display it again is to scroll all the way to the top of the page, which is not great. The option that is displayed [[here|https://mzl.la/3QAEMGF]] doesn’t work for me, since I don’t see a “Toolbar” section in the settings. My version of the App seems to be up to date (112.0).

I was able to replicate the “blank grey bar” issue, and attached a screenshot to this post.

Is there a setting that I didn’t find to disable the search bar from disappearing?

Thank you in advance.

“ Google Lead Services interfering with Firefox searches on iPhone”.   I too have the same problem using my iPhone running the last and most recent updates .  Is there a setting on I phone that restrict  browsers from following links to other pages or prevents the phone from following a link that leads to opening new tabs or would leave the page. When clicking on a link does the phone automatically know how to process the request. ?  I am a fairly new user of Apple products and found a similar problem when using my iPad Firefox browser and recently the same I noticed also happens when using safari!  

I don’t know where to begin to search for a fix. Anyone ?

Hi,

At Firefox iOS mobile app when I open and do a search, with google configure as main search, I’m always asked to login or accept the google policy.

Why the browser don’t save the information for next search’s? I don't have any option to enable or disable the cookies, I already have disable the tracking protection (at firefox settings) and still happen.

I have search for this topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-ios

But didn't find any solution.

Please let me know how to solve this issue, because with other browsers I don't have it, and I would like to still use Firefox.

thanks.

Google has started to put itself in the header of websites when I open Firefox. This started happening about a week ago. I use google drive at work, but have never chosen or selected for Google to do this.

The issue has been reported here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/12053

I have Firefox as my default browser on iOS. However, tapping “search web” from the context menu that appears when text is selected, opens Safari instead of a new tab in Firefox. The only workaround is to tap “look up” from the context menu and tap “search web” in Siri, breaking up what earlier required a single step into two steps.

Hello, since the latest update, the entire app is really slow. Especially when typing in search terms into the universal browser window. I've also noticed freezing of the app which requires closing out the app and opening again to fix. I have lots of tabs I do not want to lose so deleting the app completely is not an option. Please advise. I believe this has been reported multiple times in the app store with users experiencing the same or similar issues. Thank you

Every time I do a Google search in Firefox, a popup from Google appears suggesting that I change my browser to Chrome. It ignores my previous answers of “No thanks.” How can I block that? I already have the popup blocker turned on in Firefox.

when I enter any search term on any search engine listed on FF, I'm directed to an error page 404. Qwant displays error page, "we have sent you too far mea culpa!"

I have removed and re-installed FF on my phone and re-added Brave and Qwant search engines but they continue returning error messages (404).

If I go directly to the search engine site things function correctly but when using search on the address bar it malfunctions.

In the past the FF search bar with these engines have always worked well.

Any suggestions?

I’m unable to add any additional search engines. App crashes every time. I’ve also uninstalled the app and reinstalled to see if that changed anything…. It did not. Any help would be appreciated
