Firefox for iOS Support Forum

I did search for this a few times on here, only found 1 post where someone had a similar issue, but it was not solved.

I have a 12 Pro Max running iOS 16.3.1 running Firefox 111.1 (29556), and since well before that version (about a month now), I have had a persistant issue where "Night Mode" (that is, for webpages) is ALWAYS toggled on.

Dark mode (that is, my iPhone uses darker colors instead of white) is enabled on my phone, and settings do say to follow the Dark mode setting on my phone, but up until a month ago it would only do that for themeatic styling of the browser (tab bar, menus, etc) and not force night mode on every page. On pages that already use a dark styling, it is creating a horrible white inverted mess.

I can toggle night mode off, but as soon as the tab is closed, it will revert to rendering a page in night mode by default.

Is this just me? I have searched around forums and found I seem to be the only one with the issue. I've since switched to Chrome on my phone, but I love FF, it's my main driver on desktops. I'm not having this issue on my iPad Pro (also using iOS dark mode), which makes me think something with the phone settings is getting weird.

Thank you for your assistance.

When I tap ‘open in a new tab’, if too many tabs are already open, it will load the page several tabs down (instead of being adjacent to its parent tab). This is a further issue, and when exiting the page, the tab menu starts where it should be. This can cause issues when comparing items in separate tabs, and is very frustrating. This can occur at any point after I only had 30 ~ tabs open.

I like to keep tabs open for awhile until I get around to reading them, sometimes I'll open firefox and they're just all closed and gone. I have the older tabs thing on, and tried updating the app but it already is up to date.

Hi, After latest update Firefox stopped loading some sites. Example: ynet.co.il (one of the most popular local sites in IL). After trying to load this site, the browser’s tab breaks - “back” doesn’t work, and it doesn’t load other sites.

Thanks, T

I used to be able to place a bet on the horses using my nsw tab account, or sportsbet account but recently i get a message that i cannot open them as it is an unsecured site and it cannot be verified what can i do. Helpppppp?

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?

so yesterday i was using the Firefox app on ios and today when i reopen the app today all of my tabs were deleted, i had hundreds of important tabs on the regular browsing and a few on the private browsing that were deleted; but i never pressed the trash can at the bottom left of the screen, it is also important to know that the history is still there for the regular browsing but it would take time to reopen all of the tabs, not to mention that some date back for about 1-2 years ago and i cant recover the history or the tabs for the private browsing, or at least i dont know how to. I am guessing that there was some kind of crash or bug that happened when i closed the app. If there is any possibility to recover all of the tabs for regular and private browsing it would be awsome

The latest and previous versions for over one year-two years have had problems with tabs.

1. My account is logged off after closing FF with the active tab opened and starting again. Whatever service I am logged in to is logged off. DEVS!!! JUST TRY IT!!! The services in other tabs are logged in but not in the active one.

2. opening a link in a new tab ("right click") throws me somewhere in the list of my tabs. It is not opened just next to the active tab. just somewhere ahead. eg I have 80 tabs. My active tab is 60th. the link opened in the new tab is 75th. Unlike in Chrome next to the active tab.

3. tabs sometimes "lose" their address. They are blank. They very rarely open properly after a few restarts of FF.

4. moving tabs is very difficult unlike in Chrome or Safari

Ugh i've had it with firefox it's so buggy on mobile. I've tried to make a post about an issue with tabs resetting to their original position after being moved around, but it didn't post at all and acted as if I was never signed in and now i've lost the whole thing. and it keeps asking me to sign in everytime I do something on this website, so it'll be a miracle of this post even makes it through.

WHen I sign into Bank Of America and click on to an area when I want to go to : Payments, it comes up with " Request text to long". This has never happened before. Does not do so with Safari

Let's say I'm trying to make a payment on a page. If I leave the page to get my credit card information from another app, I can't return directly to the page I was just on, it just returns me to my home page, and then I have to go to my tabs and re-select the page I was on before.

After upgrading firefox for ios to version 110 on my ipad pro the favicons for many of the tabs are incorrect. For example, a tab for weather.gov is showing the favicon for the weather channel. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix for it?

When switching to an open tab, the keyboard pops up for no reason. I found this issue in this forum but the response was a really lame "must be an Apple problem." It's not.

I’m devastated. Please tell me how to recover all the tabs I lost.

I had disabled the sync feature weeks ago, but when I opened Firefox just now, it had 1) synced with my MacBook 2) lost every open tab on my iPhone

Please please someone respond to this. Why is there no solution offered in this forum? Clearly a number of people have had the same problem.

Thank you

Hi, I just installed Firefox on my iPhone and I was looking into whether tab groups are possible, and it didn't seem so but I came across [article] that is confusing. Under "View Open Tabs", it references "tab groups in ascending order", but I can't seem to figure out how to create these groups. Is this actually possible? Thank you!

Whenever I want to open a link in an app the browser asks me to accept or cancel. Great but how do I and is there a way to make it automatically open apps? This is only on iOS

The first Tab that pops up upon opening Firefox does not pick up the entire word/subject I am looking for. I use an Ipad/IOS and my search engine is Bing. When I type in the subject I am searching for, only half of the first word is picked up. I have to move to the next open tab to retype the word. It only happens on the first tab. Example: looking for Genealogy. It only picks up “ealogy” the first 3-4 letter ALWAYS MISSING. Can someone help. Thank you, Lynn
