Firefox for iOS Support Forum

When I open a new tab this website opens up instead of a blank tab. "https://search.rspark.com/?ytm"

I've set my new tabs to open a blank page, and I have the current version.

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?

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 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.

Hello,

I've told to report technical issues on this website.

I've noticed an issue with Firefox iOS where, if Firefox silently crashes and I open a new tab by doing a long press on the iOS home screen, then selecting New Tab, Firefox only opens that new tab and does not restore the previous session and all previously loaded tabs are gone.

That has happened to me multiple times now and I've had to then try and figure out which tabs I had open by going through the browser history, which is pretty annoying.

To prevent that, I'm pretty much not using the long press > new tab functionality at all anymore and instead I open the app first, then open a new tab. Sometimes, I'll open the app, and if the app crashes, THEN I'm asked if I want to restore the session. Then I have to make sure to not accidentally press NO cause it seems there's no way to get that session back afterwards.

I would suggest a few ideas to prevent this issue: - please offer a setting to auto-restore previous sessions after a crash, instead of asking - alternatively, if pressing NO, or opening a new tab from the homescreen with a long press, offer a way to restore a previous session somewhere on the new tab page

I use Fire fox on my ipda to read books (web published manga and light novels) ever since the release of latest version (that has the "New screen") it looses the page I am up to and often revers to a random previous page. for the past 4 year plus I have had numerous (30+) tabs opened to web sites on the current page I am up to in given web sites. this worked almost flawlessly until you change the home screen. The Version I have installed A.T.M. is 113.1(30885) The "New screen" I am referring to has the titles Firebox Browser,Jump Back In, and Recently Saved. If this Screen shows up after moving away from Firefox for a random time (some time short some times long) instead of showing what the tab had on it. if it shows the new screen and I pull down to refresh the screen I may get the web site I had before but it will not be the latest page I was on. I have taken to book marking the latest page I am on since Firefox has become so unreliable. I am also only running 10 tabs because as I loose the sites that I have been reading for years I have been book marking them and closing. I am at the point where I will be moving away from firefox on the iOS devices as Safari, Chrome, and iCab Mobile are more reliable and do not loose my tabs current web page. attached is an example of a page I was reading yesterday and returned to it day, I book marked it. note the chapter numbers. please note the version number of iOS and Firefox have changed a number of times since I notices this fault/bug my device it set to autoupdate.

I have numerous tabs open on Firefox. If I have a poor internet connection and/or am connected to my VPN, often when I select one of the tabs, when Firefox attempts to automatically reload it, the page goes blank, the URL disappears from the address bar, and I am unable to manually reload the tav. At the very least, I expect the URL to not disappear from the address bar.

Hello,

I was told to come to this site to report issues with Firefox iOS. I searched this site to see if someone is having a similar issue but didn't find anything.

The issue is simple: I use Firefox on iOS to search Google. I don't want to use the separate Google search app. I like having everything inside Firefox itself. When I initially search for something, the Google search result page loads fine. However, after I use other apps on my phone for while, if I come back to Firefox, then those pages are blank and don't load. I can still see what I searched for in the title of the tab, but the content of the tab is blank and doesn't load even if I press the refresh button. Somehow, this issue MOSTLY happens with the Google search result page, not really with any other website (also I think I've seen this happen with other websites once or twice), which is pretty odd.

I'll try and reproduce it and attach screenshots later.

Hello, thank you for firefox team support. Yesterday I saved auto log-in password on firefox browser preferences tab, but it doesn't match on web site. I used same passwords two times, both discurrected. Could you help this problem?

I logged in my mozilla acount on firefox on iPad and enabled sync. I can now see the iPad on the synced devices in my other devices (android and linux). In my iPad I can see all synec tabs from other devices.

However, my iPad tabs don't show up in the synced tabs of the other devices. I can't see them in the synced tabs in the sidebar OR in the my account section (clicking my avatar in the toolbar OR clicking my email under the hamburguer menu in desktop NOR in my android in the synced tabs tab of the tabs sheet.

I've had this problem of on my iPhone 14 Mac Firefox (now v113.2 where )tabs are taking long to delete and they freeze once I try to. After waiting awhile, anywhere up to 30 seconds or more, they either finally delete, but still slow or the app crashes and that seems to make the deletions fast, like they originally used to be. I've seen that other people seem to have this problem and I just wondered if a solution for this has finally been found?

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to fix this...

Recently, I’ve started getting a message when I attempt to use Autofill for site passwords that tells me I “must have a device passcode enabled.” The problem is I DO have a device passcode enabled. I tried changing it, but that had no effect. What is causing this behavior and how can I make it stop?

I either have some malware or a bug on my iPhone that only affects my Mozilla account. I will open a tab then try to go back to that tab later and it looks like the pic below with just an “L” in the upper left corner of the tab and when I open it there is nothing there. I’ve cleared my browser hx and even restarted my iPhone several times to try and fix the problem but it’s still there. Any help with how to get rid of this?

In trying to install Firefox on IOS, the authentication codes don't work; the downloaded codes don't work; scanning the QR code doesn't work (on both iphone and ipad). I cannot log onto Firefox on either device. And of course I ultimately get locked out.
