Firefox for iOS Support Forum

I just updated firefox, and when I opened the app all my tabs were gone, it never asked to restore previous session, and i cant find any option in the menu or in history to restore previous session. Most of the help articles say to go to recently closed tabs but none of the recently disappeared tabs are in there because they were never “closed” and some were first opened months/years ago. How can we be expected to update firefox if it dumps all our tabs when we do? How can this still be a problem, this is something i was dealing with 20 years ago, then restoring previous sessions became an option…. And now its not an option anymore? Where did it go? Where is the restore previous session option on ios? Is there a solution i am missing?

Firefox auto opens other apps when I click on sites like Amazon or Etsy. I have those apps, but I usually want to continue browsing in Firefox. How do I stop this?

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.

My logins are not, and have never, sync-ed properly between MacOS and iOS/iPadOS. Logins will sync Mac to Mac and mobile/tablet to mobile/tablet but never between the two. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox on all of the devices. I have tried turning off login sync and turning it back on in each of the devices. Nothing works. It never has.

It's such a basic feature, and it's incredibly frustrating that it has never worked properly.

My home page has been MSN News, but can no longer view it. First--it takes forever to load the site if it loads at all. Lots of spaces are blank & the main stories that used to appear in a box at the top with arrows to go to next story. No longer--just a photo now that goes to one article or a blank space. Works fine on Chrome, so it is definitely Firefox. I'm either going to have to switch browsers or get a new home page, but I would prefer to use Firefox & keep my home page. This seems to be an ongoing problem with Firefox and some websites. Booking.com is another--I get a lot of error pages in Firefox, but works fine in Chrome. What is going on?

firefox for iOS 113.2 iOS 16.5 iPhone 8+

okay, so: this has only been an issue since i updated to iOS 16.5. i can open firefox for iOS without issue, and i think if i just tapped into the search bar that might be fine? (unclear.) but what i know is that as soon as i try to type in the search bar, the app crashes! how can i fix this?

My iPad keyboard (5 years old) suddenly stopped working when I try to search. I type a letter and the search bar kind of bounces then nothing is typed in. This happened suddenly a few days ago and is only happening on Firefox. Safari works just fine with the keyboard.

Hello. My occupation requires me to deal with videos, often heavy unedited videos and I usually download and upload those through Firefox. However these videos can become quite heavy on the hard disk especially in numbers. However, when deleting them in the download folder (through the Files app on the iPad), either Firefox or the iPad doesn’t consider them deleted and their weight is still present, though the file is clearly not in this world anymore. This amounts to dozens of gigabytes of data that I can’t delete, except if I completely remove and reinstall the Firefox app which can be quite annoying especially when dealing with account syncing.

Is this a known issue ? Is there a fix besides reinstalling the app ?

Thank you for any help.

I was wondering if you and duckduckgo browser can make some changes for both android users and iOS users, is that possible?

The reason why I’m asking is because of one youtuber who goes by the name SomeOrdinaryGamers explained very tightening information that may put some internet companies at risk if left unprotected for both android and iOS users, everyone must hold extreme caution to advance their security to a whole new level battle against zero-day exploits.
