Firefox vir iOS Community Forum

While on Firefox, I generated a Mozilla log-in for an account this week. Today I went to the log-in and…….well nothing from Firefox.

I love the idea of protecting my email address, but what good is it if I can’t access the account because the generated email and password don’t show up. I must be missing a step.

In looking for a way to open a local file in Firefox, I came up on the following question in the Support forums:

For my Home page, how do I write a link to a local file on my iPhone?

The questionnaire eventually solved their own problem by mentioning something called a homepage file and I don’t understand what that is so I can’t understand their solution.

I do not support Google, so i am trying to install DuckDuckGo as standard search engine, but adding a title and then the full http address and it says i need to fill out the remaining space….but there isn’t any more space. What am I missing? Morten

I've been using Firefox for some time on iOS. Some websites cause the user interface to become hijacked by the website. What happens is I can't scroll up to the address bar or down to the tabs and menus. All I see is the website in full screen.

Two awkward workarounds exist: I can exit the application by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, then re-entering Firefox. Alternatively, I can slow-swipe up from the bottom and then tabs/menus usually appear when I let go.

I attached two images, one shows the Wired.com website in this hijacked state. The other shows the application after I have exited and reopened it. This happens on many websites and I would say most of the time it occurs where there is some sort of popup/overlay that appears in the JavaScript.

iOS 18.0.1, Firefox version 131.4/

I was trying to add some basketball tickets to my apple wallet but wasn't able to. Had to switch to Safari and was then able to add them to my wallet. I haven't had a problem adding airline tickets to my apple wallet with Firefox as my default browser, but couldn't add basketball tickets from an email link with Firefox as default browser. Switched to Safari and then had no problem. Can this issue be fixed with Firefox browser or will I have to switch back to using Safari?

I can’t sign in via email to access tabs on my browser on my computer because the signing system puts me into an endless loop, of confirmation emails 2FA authorization codes and takes me back to square one every time. No error messages.

i’m using the latest software for everything, and a brand new iPhone.

I'm sure some people find your weird separation of saved bookmarks into mobile and desktop folders, but I am not one of them? Is there no way to turn that off in favor of a device agnostic bookmarks collection? Bookmarks almost never just work for me in Firefox because I always have to think about where they might be saved. That's a major point of friction for such a browser.

I am unable to find out how to resize any drop down boxes in Firefox. The "Bookmarks" drop down is way too wide - it would help to shrink it so the next selection box would appear with space to show its contents.

Hi! I was given a link to scan my device for the ability to opt out of third party advertisement cookies and that scan said that I cannot block third party cookies because Firefox prevents it. (See attached photos from iOS apps and Windows 11 Desktop browser.)

Is that true? … as I was under the impression that your browsers were all over this topic and were helping us stop the tracking etc. and were lin compliance or we’re supporting the Digital Advertising Alliances opt out policies and principles? Or is this a Safari problem on iOS only since you have to build your browser around a Safari core?

The scan ran was from both Firefox Focus and Firefox apps on iOS 18.0.1 on an iPhone 11 and with Firefox desktop browser version 131.0.3 in Windows 11. If there is some setting that I am supposed to tweak so that my opt out choice from the DAA is hindered, then please let me know as I thought that I had already set up everything correctly to stop the tracking/ads.

I know you guys are doing great work, and keep it up!
