Firefox crashed on me. And deleted all the tabs that’s I had up on Firefox. It didsk me if I wanted to restore my tabs and I said yes, but none of them got restored. And I can’t seem to find any recent tabs or anything!

Hello everyone

I'm at a loss. FF for iOS (iPhone 7) keeps crashing every few days (no other apps have similar problems). It then asks to restore tabs from the last session, which mostly works, but every few weeks, all tabs are lost (about 20..50 total). In history menu, open tabs from last session is greyed out. When the tabs are are lost, they're also instantly purged from FF sync. >:(

I'd love to use FF on iPhone, since I'm using FF sync extensively and successfully on multiple PCs. But on iPhone, FF only causes me pain and suffering (i.e. the need to comb through months of history in the hopes of catching all lost tabs). Is there anything I can do that FF on this platform gets more reliable?

It seems, the more connected we get, the more data we lose. :(

Best regards


Björn

  1. Whenever you login a site, Firefox does not remember the cookies from the login. So when you close the app and open it later, so you need to login again.
  1. Firefox crashes a lot since iOS 16 and now too on 16.1, and now also since the release iPadOS 16.1. This makes the app difficult to use and really bad.

Both are very frustrating and important issue, please fix it!

I’d like to start off by saying that I’ve been a Firefox user for you know probably a couple decades anyway. Today Mar7 whenever I clicked on the link in Apple Mail Firefox tried to launch the site and it crashed. I tried it multiple times, different emails, same result. I tried restarting, this is also on my iPad so it’s iOS only. (No problem on my desktop) and it just keeps crashing when I have tried turning my VPN off and turn it on and restarting in pretty much everything I know to do so like I deleted it which I really don’t wanna didn’t want to do but I didn’t see any other solution. so HELP

I posted a review on the iOS market and received an email asking to post on this forum.

Firefox freezes several times an hour. It crashes every three hours. I installed the Adblock Pro extension (free version). Maybe it’s related but I have not noticed anything related to the extension. Safari doesn’t crash and uses the same extension.

The only point to use Firefox on iOS is the password manager and dark mode. Printing is inferior because it forces pagination.

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.

Sessions in Firefox Mobile, iPhone 7, crashed, and no "Restore sessions" was available. How to restore sessions?

Dear Firefox Mobile Support Team, Sirs, I am deeply grateful for your help, products, and efforts to keep users safe, with adequate tools. I use FF on all devices I have, iphone, laptops, iPad... The query now: Few hours ago, the Firefox mobile, on my iPhone, ver. 7, 2018 model, IOS 15.7.1, 256 GB memory - 120 GB full, crashed. I had about 50 sessions opened. As from similar situations before (such errors do not happen often - maybe 1/2 per year), an error message came stating the usual, "It is embarrassing, do I want to Restore sessions, with Options No or Okay". After choosing the second option, Okay to restore all sessions, a restoration was performed. But NO sessions were restored, except that a new tab, empty, was opened.

Practically, the Restore function form the error message did not worked.

I checked the history from the 3bars, History, there is a long list of searches... But there are NO other options available in the controls row in the top there for the History to help restore the sessions. The controls seen are: Bookmarks (asteric), History (a clock), Download (arrow down) and Reading List (a book icon).

There, in the 3 bars, the History choice is as above. The Settings option is with no command to Restore Sessions. A check of the other options also does not lead to a function restore sessions.

Please advise if I can restore the sessions (opened tabs) from various searches and how to do it. I can't imagine there is no way to do it.

The Search history is also available from the empty opened page, Recent history, with the control link - Show all. But as from the above, the history is a history, and not for long period back, traced up to a month, although it may hold for longer period history links....

Similar situation happened about an year and a half, with probably 70-80 sessions/tabs opened. But there, the message was that they were archived. But there was no way, or option to return to the archived sessions. I started/continued then with new sessions, they grew with various searches until today. When the crash happened. Few days ago another crash happened, but then the function Restore Sessions worked, and all sessions were opened.

Either I am not aware of a solution that already exists in Firefox for IOS, or there are misses for such common situations as controls, commands to help to deal with them.

Please help. There must be an option to copy the history (as of now as list) and save it in a file (which to be able to be attached to email and send). Now there is NO such option (on the FF mobile. There must be a function from the 3bars, or help or settings, or the History, as a control/command - Restore previous sessions/tabs. Now there is NOT such a function.

Crashes happen, for many reasons. Therefore the aim is to offer functions to deal with them, safely, for both desktop and mobile FF.

Please help. Many thanks. Stan

P.S. I write here from my laptop. Not the iPhone. For ease. Similar functions should exist (be added if not yet there) for both desktop (laptop) and mobile Firefox. My style of searching (and many like me) is with a lot of sessions/tabs, to which I return now or then. Hence the browsing history from one tab (session) is not of interest (as of now many links but from a single session/tab), but the links from the various sessions. Reason - sessions/tabs cover usually different directions of search, while each one session/tab is for a single website and being opened one can follow the new updates of data there. Chronological list of history shows many searches from a session/tab, which is not much of interest. Maybe a way for better organization of future versions.
