Hi everyone,

I'm trying out Firefox for iOS v26 and when I open a new tab, I want to see my Bookmarks rather than Top Sites. The help section in the support pages here states that a New Tab can be configured to show a variety of different setups. However, in v26, Firefox Home, Blank Page and Custom URL are the only options displayed.

Is this expected behaviour?

I know I can browse through my Bookmarks to open the page I want, but it would be more convenient to have them displayed, just like I have setup in Safari.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, the adjustment to show bookmarks is only avaliable on desktop versions of Firefox, and you're seeing the limitation of iOS here. There isn't a way to configure the home page to show bookmarks on iOS, sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m not sure I understand about the limitations of iOS. Safari can display the bookmark toolbar (see attached screenshot from my iPad mini). Thanks for your help.
