Firefox for iOS Support Forum

Phone and Firefox up to date. This is NOT immediately after iOS update nor after a Firefox update. I have settings confirmed that should keep me in private browsing. Triple checked this. Even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and reestablished proper settings.

I’ll be browsing in a private browser, will re-open Firefox and SOMETIMES, not always, I’ll be in a non-private browser.

What gives??

Is there any way to disable or deactivate private browsing mode? I let my kids use my phone and I find it very suspicious when they are in private browsing mode. So I’m just curious if there’s anyway to take the option away

Hi, while I was browsing in private mode I opened a link to google maps. I was expecting to be navigated to the google maps website but instead it opened the maps application. This means no private mode anymore since now history is kept in google maps. I was expecting complete privacy by default whilst in private window. Is it though any configuration I can apply so it will stay in the private window?

I bookmarked an article I was reading on incognito. I read it about 1-3 time, in incognito, before deciding I didn’t need it anymore. I deleted it and a few days later was typing something along the lines of the article in the non-incognito browsing and the title up. I typed it into my history and it came up. I deleted it from my history yet it keeps showing up. I have deleted it multiple times and have deleted my history twice.

OS, IOS Ipad.

Since the last update, the private browsing tab is retaining history. This has never happened to me before, is it supposed to happen or is it a fault?

On FF on my iphone, I can open multiple tabs in the privacy tab, go back to the normal tabs, and all the privacy tabs remain to check later. On my ipad however if I go back to the normal tabs, all of the privacy tabs are gone. I rarely need to close them all immediately, but often do want to go back to them, just keeping them saved for later.

It would be nice if the ipad was like the iphone in not immediately closing all tabs, though still keeping them locked away.

i want to be able to use mask on sites on my cell phone but i can't figure out how. and doesn't firefox have an actual online chat rather than only a community based resose syste,
