Excellent Browser - Just like it’s always been. I’ve used Mozilla’s Netscape in the mid-late 1990s. First at the university I attended which because it was a former military base that was being repurposed and reclaimed where it was safe to do so, was one of the first to be hardwired to the internet as well as supplying remote dialup, email, and server space to students. This was back when AOL was cranking out landfill CDROMs by the millions and misinterpreting what the internet was. There were moments when I thought the browser had been the victim of the dotcom bubble burst, only to find it had risen from the flames like a Firebird under a new name, but from the same good people. So I guess I’ve been a Mozilla brand user that has stuck with them at least as a secondary browser and usually as a go to. There are simply more options with Firefox - especially in the way you can modify its appearance in desktop OSs, which isn’t a functional thing, but nonetheless important. What is important is security and I have never felt at risk using Firefox. Even Safari in iOS has moments when (very obvious and bad) attempts to bait you get through - telling you to update your Flash from 2010 (yes< in iOS). But I’ve yet to have anything like that happen in Firefox. Only con I would say is that I wish in integrated easier with iOS. But I don’t think it would be what it is if it did.

I recommend Firefox (no, the internet doesn’t know ‘everything’ about you already).. I recommend Firefox and believe it’s worth your time to ‘change’ to it. I don’t work I’m tech but try to understand things and be purposeful as best I can in these things. 1) It’s more secure than the most commonly used browsers (from ‘for profit’ companies). That (still) very much matters. There ARE other good alternatives I chose this one. 2) It works well and easily enough (really). In my experience, even when sites say it won’t either at all or all it’s features. 3) The features are good (homepage stuff, syncing across devices if you wish) I ENJOY using Firefox. P.s. (?) for context or maybe this helps: 1) I don’t use it on work computers, 2) I did make a Mozilla account and use the sync function and other features (not required), 3) I also was thoughtful in my choice of a default search engine, 4) and use a separate encrypted password program (I don’t save passwords in the browser’s program or on another built in system like Microsoft or Mac’s keychains etc).

Upon Opening. I never write reviews for things. But this I can’t stand. I’ve been a Firefox user since 2006. Used it without issue as its always been the best and has always been reliable. Every phone, every computer I’ve had since then has had trusty old firefox on it. But recently, firefox had this update on the iPhone where every time you open it, it basically treats all the tabs you had open as brand new tabs and its practically impossible to go back and revisit sites again. I like to keep tabs for tracking packages, carts that I’ve built on websites, work systems etc. open in Firefox on my phone so I can quickly reference them and switch between my phone and my desktop whenever I like. This new update where every time you open Firefox; your previously open tabs now all just act like brand new tabs, is absolutely garbage. And as extreme as it may sound, if it isn’t reverted to the way it used to be or at least a setting allows me to turn this feature off, I’m going to end my 16 year relationship with Firefox because it’s just so ridiculously annoying to deal with now.

Wacky Browser. You can’t customize it or add extensions/enhancements because even after you download the recommended app by Firefox it still doesn’t recognize. I really getting sick of mobile app because they are so horrible and like half working. It has been long enough now that the lazy developers so have improved them to the level of regular desktop. They don’t so they can hide their crappy codes in like this one . Still they best browser that is user friendly and customizable to any way you want is the Brave browser!!! UPDATE! I don’t use support forums because they do not work ! This will be the third time 2 years I have tried and been disappointed by this app that We need a app that we do not have to go to school and study browsers to work . You have to many people making stuff and it ruins the experience for everyone. Now on the homepage it tells me to download Mozilla and when I do it tells me download Firefox! I can’t have any favorites on my homepage unless I use Firefox and it just the last 10 websites I looked at ,this has taken up way to much time and without any support I give up . I just going to just delete it again maybe come back in another year

More hassle than it’s worth. Not sure what is going on with this app but the bugs just make it not even worth using. Every single time I search anything at all, or click on a new url, link, what have you, it ALWAYS asks for my location. Despite me allowing it in both the app and iPhone settings, it still does this without fail. They’re so worried about getting your location for every little thing that they’ve neglected the user experience and the fact the app constantly crashes with blank pages. Even more frustrating when I just click no on the location, it’ll pop up again asking you yet again for your location. I’ve used Firefox browsers on laptop before but this is just ridiculous. It’s been months of this and I’ve finally had it. Very disturbing about constantly pestering people for their exact location on every SINGLE search, every SINGLE hyperlink. Then can’t even search what I want to from the app crashing and pages going blank. It’s just not worth it. Hope you all get it together but won’t know because I’m about to delete. Do better.

Decent browser. Good privacy. Mediocre UX. I use Firefox on my desktop every day and love it, best browser that combines power with privacy. On mobile it is not quite as appealing. It does just fine at being a browser, and the built-in privacy features are nice, but the UX falls a bit short. For example, when closing tabs, if you close the currently highlighted tab in the list it after re-opening the app for the first time, it scrolls all the way to the top of the list of tabs, and you have to scroll all the way back to the bottom to see your recent tabs. Also, the action button is in the top right, small and hard to get to, but contains actions that I use frequently (e.g. find text on page). The east to hit button in the bottom right I don’t use very often, even though it has a prime spot on the screen. Hopefully this can be addressed, I’m still using it because I like having the same browser for desktop and mobile, but it can be annoying sometimes.

Many issues. EDIT July 12: Another small update, no fix for any of the issues mentioned. EDIT July 8: Several months since its introduction and many times the issue has been reported, night mode is still unusable after a few minutes and causes the entire screen to become a garbled and unreadable mess. I appreciate the additions to the developer log that I didn’t even know existed on mobile but there might be more pressing issues. I’ve used this app for years and it seems to continue to get more buggy with each release. My first and main tab is Wikipedia, and so most of the bugs I find are experienced on that site. Whenever the app crashes (which happens very frequently, especially when switching from another app back to Firefox) it sends me to a completely random page from my browsing history on that tab, sometimes pages I visited last week. Night mode is great when it’s usable for a few minutes before causing the display to show a mess of distorted lines, partially or fully destroyed images, and various parts of the page being displayed on top of each other making it unreadable and impossible to tell where you are on the page. The night mode bug has existed for as long as I can remember night mode being a feature, while the flashback-on-crash issue seems to have only cropped up in the past two or three months.

Missing a couple of features. I made the switch back to Firefox recently, after a few years with Chrome, and there are a lot of great features. The icon looks nice, navigation is generally intuitive, and I LOVE that I can shift my address bar up to the top where I’m used to it being — that alone has made the switch much smoother and more seamless overall. One thing that I’m really missing is the ability to open a new tab from within a current tab. I have to go into my current tabs first. I know this is only a single additional steps, but I do a lot of research with multiple tabs from my phone, and I often have to open another tab to reference something else quickly. It would feel less like “disengage, switch task, reengage” if I didn’t need to go somewhere else first. Overall, I’m really enjoying Firefox, I just feel like that functionality — even as an option, like the address bar being top or bottom — would really improve my experience overall.

Disruptive UX. I’ve been a die hard Firefox user most of my life and this app might be the reason I have to finally seek out an alternative. For some odd reason anytime one switches back to FF from another app, or opens the app up after a period of inactivity, it suddenly opens a new tab and selects in the browser url/search field. Never mind that I may have been deep in an article and I am just switching back and forth between it while I handle some background task, like a stream of incoming messages from someone, every time I switch back to FF it behaves as though whatever I was (am) doing is stale and assumes I am trying to do something else now. It wouldn’t be so bad except that it’s two taps every time to get back to the previous tab I was on with the page I am currently trying to read. I don’t know any other browser that behaves this way and it disappoints me to no end that someone with such bad UX insights would have this kind of influence over an app and brand that I have trusted to much. I hope they fix it soon but its been this way for at least half a year now.

Not reliable for my use anymore.. Firefox has become more unstable in the past several months. I used to be able to keep over 30 or more tabs open without having to worry about Firefox crashing or losing pages, but now it will randomly decide not to load a page on a random tab for no clear reason. I do NOT like the new inactive tabs setting where tabs not visited for 2 weeks get “hidden” there. The first time it happened, I honestly thought I lost my tabs. I have this setting disabled now, but my point is, there was no warning about this new feature, and now Firefox just feels unreliable to me. I’m now saving bookmarks in another app because I just don’t trust Firefox to save them because I don’t want to use their Sync account feature. All I needed was a browser that could handle a lot of tabs with some privacy focus, but Firefox has proven to me that it can’t really handle more that 20 tabs. I guess they want me to use Chrome or Safari instead at this point.

Opening links in the default browser doesn’t work. Really want to make the switch from Chrome, but unfortunately there’s some basic functionality missing from this app that makes its use tedious. 1. The biggest problem is there is no way to open links from external apps in Firefox. For example, opening a link from Google Maps by clicking the default browser button in the button right (or even through sharing it to Firefox and tapping “open in Firefox”) simply doesn’t work. It will swap to the Firefox app but the link does not open, it just stays on the last tab previously opened. 2. Some smaller things like not having easy access to a new tab button or a gesture to quickly close a tab make the app frustrating to use. Passwords frequently don’t autofill, and when they do about half the time the form doesn’t actually register that the fields are filled and won’t allow you to submit the login until you manually type them in. Edit: removing another star. Even links from apps like email won’t open in Firefox, meaning any time you want to open a link you have to manually copy and paste it. This behavior makes the browser nearly unusable. Hopefully it’s sorted out in the future, but for now, I won’t be using Firefox.

Great…but one request!. Firefox is and always has been my favorite browser. For the mobile version, I am BEGGING Mozilla to add a Bookmarks shortcut to the homepage. Or even better, a Bookmarks shortcut button to the left of address bar similar to Brave. I, along with most others, use Bookmarks frequently and as of now, they’re simply buried too deep within the menu tree to be easily accessed. Please please please Mozilla do this and make us all happy!!!! *Update*. It’s been a while since I left the review above. Unfortunately, the difficult-to-use Bookmarks are still an issue. I thought of an idea Mozilla. How about enable the ability to show Bookmarks on the start screen? Why have shortcuts when Bookmarks sync across platforms? Makes no sense to me. Bookmarks still need to be easier to access. Please do this so we can all be happy!! ***Its some time later and the bookmarks functionality is still a mess. Any updates on making these easier to access? Perhaps, include Bookmarks as a option on the homepage, in addition to Shortcuts, Jump back in, etc. This would be SOOO helpful guys!

Firefox great, just not for iOS. The Firefox browser is amazing, especially since it’s pretty much the only other web browser that is not based on Google and they respect privacy. However, the iOS version of Firefox is pretty plain and missing a lot of features. There are no add-on extensions like ad block and no background audio playback for videos. Even the iOS Safari browser has the ability to download add-ons via downloading an app on the App Store (such as Safari ad block extensions). The Brave web browser on iOS were able to include both ad block and background audio playback, so I think Mozilla could do the same with Firefox if Brave could do it (I believe they are using WebKit as well). Plus plenty of other 3rd party web browsers on iOS have background audio playback for videos and ad block. Either way, I strongly support Mozilla Firefox and believe in what they do, giving an option other than Google.

Best Browser!. Firefox is a fantastic mobile browser that offers a range of features and benefits that make it stand out from the crowd. One of the key advantages of using Firefox on your mobile device is its speed and reliability. It loads web pages quickly and efficiently, even on slower networks, and rarely crashes or freezes. Additionally, Firefox is highly customizable, allowing users to choose from a wide range of themes, add-ons, and extensions to enhance their browsing experience. It also offers strong privacy and security features, such as tracking protection and encrypted syncing, which help to keep your data safe and secure. Overall, Firefox is a top-notch mobile browser that combines speed, reliability, customization, and security, making it a great choice for anyone who wants to browse the web on their mobile device! 😊

New Layout is Bad. Firefox has been my browser of choice for a little over a year now, and part of that came from the fact that the actual layout and simplicity of the app was incredibly comfortable. Not only was it quick, everything was easy to find, and it felt really good to use when compared to other browsers. For some god forsaken reason, they decided to redesign the website with the latest update for a more ‘modern’ feel, and now the app is a sluggish, slow mess that is arranged in a confusing and uncomfortable way. Finding where stuff is now is a bit of mess at first and a lot of the menu pop up boxes are now sort of located towards the middle and left of the screen. As someone who is right handed and primarily uses my phone with the right hand, this is asinine. Please, for the love of all that is holy, either restore the original interface and layout from before this update or at least add it as an option and make the new ‘modern’ design something one can opt into if they desire. This isn’t just a step down, this is devolution.

Downloads missing?. Amazing browser, stuck with for almost a decade and haven't looked back since. An issue i do have is the download list that this browser has. Any kind if file that you would normal download on the pc version, png/mov/zip/pdf, literally anything would just open another tab and open the file. Nothing is conveniently downloaded anymore where its shown in the download or even in Files on iphone. Whats the point of having a download list if it can never be helpful such as show what files i’ve downloaded, when and where. A malicious website tried to download a file through my browser, but since theres no history that can show any attempt just like on PC, the download bar is practically useless. I’m not sure what prevents Firefox mobile for not having download history, but having it now would be appreciated.

Firefox App Feedback & Suggestion. All of the forms of media and visual demonstrations that are all ever shown posted on up here should all always make sure to explain as specifically as possible about the reasons for why it is always as important as ever nowadays, today in general that all of these forms of media and visual demonstrations all always make sure to explain the very best that they all ever could about all always making sure that this type of app for Mozilla Firefox always makes sure to have all of the types of features and extensions needed for it to function the very best that it all ever could as well as for allowing to never, ever set any sorts of limits to any of its own types of users in general in the sense of everything that it all could actually always allow all of its own types of users to do with it and all. Lastly, all of the forms of media and visual demonstrations mentioned way earlier in the beginning should all always be translated into as many different types of worldwide foreign languages as possible and everything.

This needs a lot of work. The Firefox app is very tedious and annoying to work around but I have stuck with it due to their appreciation for privacy. Feedback- - This app gets bugs often and it is like a maze to report bugs and feedback, currently the Firefox app continuously keeps crashing randomly. Sometimes even a handful times a day. We should have a option to report the bug after Firefox realizes the app has crashed unexpectedly and let us add notes and comments to it. Also passwords don’t save all the time!! Even when adding manually it wouldn’t save; this feature should be looked over, unsaved passwords isn’t fun. Also Firefox should look into if we can auto fill passwords on this app instead of having to go to passwords menu and copy and pasting: since Firefox is my default browser, the phone suggesting safari passwords is no use. - When Firefox is launched, it should open to the MOST RECENT tab not all the way to the first tab, as well as when tabs are being closed, it should not automatically prompt us to the first tab opened; it’s really annoying. Firefox should add preferences in settings for this on mobile. A great idea would be to let us put tabs in folders to help users stay organized. - Firefox mobile should add some more themes, preferences. Firefox on desktop is great but Firefox iOS needs a lot of work and tweaking, lacks a lot of features as well.

Would be my default, if font size could be adjusted. It seems that users of Firefox for iOS have been repeatedly asking if it is possible to increase the font size for iOS devices for YEARS. I’ve explored their Customer Support Q&A along with Mozilla’s official support site. They have never responded to a single inquiry or request—not even to admit that the font size cannot be changed, and they apparently have no intention of addressing it-at all. They obviously don’t care about visually impaired users, or anyone who would like to be able to read their extraordinarily tiny font size (compare it to any other mobile browser). Zooming in is a hassle and makes for an unpleasant reading experience. I would make Firefox my default browser if Mozilla would acknowledge the issue and make some attempt to improve it. It can’t be that difficult since every other browser has this option. Five stars and default browser if this was addressed but two stars and one more user abandoning the browser for another one that is readable, and where repeated requests for support are acknowledged So disappointing.

Hanging in there. I decided to delete my account for syncing bookmarks. I hated to do it as I had it for years. Waiting now before making a new account to see if any other problems come up. Been with Firefox since right after it started. Had it on over 10 machines-Apple, Windows— Linux….so very disappointed with various changes coming recently—Updates are so frequent. Thanks for a response Ibut couldn’t read as I couldn’t find it. Gave me an opportunity to read a number of other ones. I valued a browser that didn’t “bend the knee” to censoring-spying, etc. it is not a mutual relationship as we don’t get to spy on those spying on us or know who is getting our info. I do appreciate efforts to fix the problems—thank you. I’m giving a low rating for what I’ve just gone through with the strange double name for the iPad (Donna’s iPad) (102 iOS pad) —same device. Deleting either one meant I had to sign in again…. The syncing stopped working right with other machines also. Firefox was the only browser I used to sync bookmarks. I haven’t dumped the browser. It has been my favorite for years.

Lacks standard bookmark sorting!. There is no capability to move a bookmark and click-drag it into a folder, let alone a way to select muliple bookmarks on ipad (cntrl click and shift click) then drag into a folder. The simple functions of bookmark sorting and organization do not exist and its unacceptable in this day an age. No one seems to care about making a product work like it should, they only care about the basic foundations to pull a user on to there other platforms to make profit. Its disgusting. Fix the bookmarks and add manual sorting capabilities. response to Devs: I don;t beleive in that post your idea nonsense, that is just a cop-out excuse to give companies a reason not to implement a foundational idea that is needed. Just throw everyone’s idea into the idea graveyard and if enough ppl want it we think about it. i miss the good old days when you just sent feedback to the devs and if they liked the idea they added it. no one was lazy back then and were all about making thinks better not finding ways out of doing something. plus my idea is not something to be voted on its foundational to the app, the desktop version on all browsers not only firefox have this ability so should firefox mobile.

Please, Make It a Matter of Preference. In Version 37 for iOS, the new feature that every time the browser is closed and reopened, you will be directed to a new tab — I can find no way to turn off this feature!! Firefox has been my favored browser across all my devices for years due to its simplicity and freedom. On my Apple devices, I utilize Firefox Focus for anything I need to one-time search, and Mozilla Firefox proper to check for digital updates across a dozen of different websites and resources (and I keep several dozen favorite resources constantly open in the background tabs). In the past two days since I updated, I have repeatedly closed the new tab that is forcefully created every time I open the app. This, in and of itself, is an inconvenience at best. What has become more than inconvenience, is that by closing the tab that you are currently using [mind you, the tab that is forcefully generated], this scrolls my ‘open tabs’ screen to the top of my list of 50+ tabs. While I should invest some time to learn the Pocket feature (and intend to eventually), I do not wish to accidentally close any of my tabs while attempting to scroll back to the bottom. Because people use this amazing application for so many various purposes, such as my own with hoarding academic materials, please consider including a toggle in the settings menu for this feature. I could not find any more discreet way of making this request than here.

Needs to focus on mobile UX. I love Firefox on desktop. I want to love it on mobile. But the UX is so desktop-centric as to render it frustrating to use. People’s thumbs are the primary navigation tool and typically rest somewhere on the bottom half of the screen. Everything should thus be oriented from the bottom up, with most used commands at the bottom and least used at the top. The recent decision to move the toolbar to the top by default is just the latest in a string of frustrating design decisions that ignore the realities of a mobile device. Here are some others: * the hamburger menu needs to have all its options reversed. New tab should be at the bottom, close to where I would have just tapped to open the menu, so I don’t have to stretch my thumb all the way back up for probably my most common action. Settings should be at the top, as it’s rarely used. * the tab close button should be on the bottom, again saving your finger from stretching as high

half trash, half average. actually, the app wouldn’t be so bad for me if i didn’t have to tap the search bar twice to begin my search. i open my FF browser, i tap the search bar, and as soon as my keyboard comes up before i can even type the first letter to begin, my keyboard goes away and i have to retap the search bar again. Every single time. i only use FF because i don’t want to close the videos in my safari browser. i don’t like to have too many tabs open with so much data open as well. so i keep my browsers clean. i use FF for quick searches and sometimes i even have 9 windows open at a time before i actually realize and clean it up. so it’s good for the most part. but that keyboard issue is very frustrating. i’ve been using this app for years and this is a new issue that began at least a year ago for me. please fix this. Thank You, Shantell Leos

Decent browser. I was happily using it until the latest update when they introduced a feature that automatically opens a new tab upon opening that goes to the home page. This is not a good feature so far it happens every time I exit to go to another app real quick. It is especially frustrating if I’m reading something because I have to go through all my tabs Togo back to what I was reading or the site I was browsing. Also I sometimes also have a problem where when I go from one tab to another it closes itself out but I might just have to many tabs open. Also sometimes when I close out a tab it will send me to another tab that’s far away from the next closest tab from the one I closed. Also it would be nice if like chrome we could have more than one window open. Other than those problems it’s been a decent browser.

Love the browser, app has a few stability issues. Look, I love FireFox. I am constantly recommending people use FireFox both on desktop and mobile. BUT the app is currently completely broken. It crashes within seconds of opening, so quickly that I can’t even interact with the pop up letting me know the previous session crashed! Neither updating the app nor updating my phone has solved the problem. Once this is fixed I’ll of course update my rating but for the moment it has to be 1 star because it’s completely unusable. Update: I had to delete and re the app to get it functional again; rather miffed that I lost all my tabs. (Yes, in theory if I had the whole sign in thing where you can share tabs across devices I’d still have them but the thing about that is I don’t WANT my tabs shared across devices, I do different things on different devices and that cross pollination would just be confusing and distracting for me. This is like the only circumstance in which that function would be desirable for me and I hope this circumstance never recurs.)

Please make an option to enlarge the font!. I have an autoimmune disease that is destroying my eyes and sadly I am not going to be able to use Firefox on my mobile much longer which makes me very sad because I find it to be the safest browser I've ever used. Sure there are some other things that could be improved but hey it's all a work in progress! I did see on the website where other people have wanted or looked for an option to be able to to this the first time being over a year ago that I noticed this was a big issue for some people and I I ow we can't always get everything we want and life but if we try sometimes we his might we get what need and I definitely need this to be possible or I will be forced to switch back to Safari which btw really isn't quite large enough in the font dept either but better than what I am able to get on here. Now I did try using Firefox with DuckDuckGo and that gave me the ability to enlarge a tiny bit which was marginally helpfully but it seems I'm always getting Hijacked whenever Duck is in my life... not sure why this is but it's a huge problem and unacceptable. So if you could a blinding person out I would really appreciate it as I know others would as well! Thanks for taking the time to read this I know you ha e your hands full! And I'll be praying that my prayers are answered! Much love to all!

No auto cache clear on exit. Lost a lot of respect for Firefox. They claim to care about our privacy and all that but do not include a way to delete the cache upon exit like the desktop versions. Only the manual option. Unacceptable. And no add-on to do it either. Not private enough for my taste. Too many other options out there that are. Sad. UPDATE: Response to developer response— understand ad-ons aren’t allowed in iOS for Firefox, but the delete cache upon exit feature is not provided by an add-on in the other Firefox versions but is a setting toggle within Firefox. If FF doesn’t have someone monitor and read these feedback here as part of their improvements from users then I doubt they’ll listen to my adding it to some other feedback web site as you suggested. And if you’d looked, this same complaint has been on those other sites for years already with no action. My guess: they either don’t care or (more likely) there’s a bit of $$ involved with the tracking of iOS users. But thanks for the response.

Needs Work. I’ve enjoyed my experience with Firefox on my desktop, but with this iOS version I haven’t so much. The app needs some work. Like others who have written reviews, the bookmarks are kind of a mess. The bookmarks issue is also present on the desktop version but it is compounded on iOS. I shouldn’t have to tap through “desktop bookmarks” to get to bookmarks and they shouldn’t be buried in the hamburger menu. There should be an icon in the toolbar for easy access. Why separate bookmarks into mobile and desktop? It’s not 2008. Cellphones are extremely powerful and the experiences should be married fully, including bookmarks. It should just be “bookmarks toolbar” and that’s it. The rest of the bookmarks we save can be organized by the user. Not by putting them in “bookmarks menu” (what does that even mean) or “other bookmarks” (other than what?). Outside of bookmarks, the night mode should have a setting to automatically match the system. Night mode isn’t very good regardless though so I often have to turn it off. The dark mode never actually switches to match the system. I have to manually go in and toggle on and off to get it to work. Tabs completely reload when I go back into them when they should save my place so that’s frustrating. Please fix all of these things. In short, the app needs work.

Latest update has rendered it unusable on my old phone. I don’t like to buy a brand new phone every couple years due to the cost, both to me and the environment. Firefox is my go-to browser and has been for years, but since the latest update I’ve grudgingly gone back to the default browser (safari). It takes sometimes a full minute to load a page, and even when loaded clicking on links or buttons or text fields on mobile sites can cause it to stutter again, or crash altogether. If I go to Home Screen for even a moment to check my calendar or respond to a text, the page will spontaneously reload when I return (to clarify, without closing the app, simply viewing anything other than the app for even a second while keeping it open triggers this). As a test, I spent 10 minutes trying to log into a social media account on Firefox before giving up and did it on Safari in seconds. Maybe it’s an issue of resources, but Safari seems able to allow my old decrepit phone do web browsing just fine so clearly it’s *possible*, and just not a priority for Firefox developers. Which may be fair, but is unfortunate for me and anyone else who values privacy but can’t afford the latest hardware. I’ll regrettably have to start looking for another browser that attempts to protect consumer privacy, because Firefox constantly reminding me what it was like to browse websites in the 90s isn’t the kind of nostalgia I enjoy.

Buggy (find in page with pdfs doesn’t work) search is laggy. Firefox in general feels more clunky than safari. Overall it’s a fine trade off for syncing with desktop Firefox. However a MAJOR setback to the app is that you can’t find in page with PDFs. It just straight up doesn’t work. This leads me to having to open PDF links in safari and find in page there so I can find what I need to find. This alone is seriously making me reconsider using this app going forward. Another issue which is not as important is that searching something from the address bar feels really bad. Text input is laggy on the top text viewer. This can be remedied by looking at the bottom text viewer. Why are there even two text viewers? Looking at the bottom text viewer is unwieldy as well since the auto fill is right under the top text viewer. So you need to look up to see the auto fill then look back down to see what you’re typing since the rest lags behind. Overall this makes the app a pain to use. Please fix this Firefox.

Firefox. Not sure where some of these reviews are coming from with unsubstantiated claims of Mozilla not respecting privacy of users. If that was and is the case then people should provide at least names of articles rather than bash this app. Firefox is by far the fasted app I’ve used. The UI is something I had to get used to but loved once I gave it some time. I personally don’t like integrating my Firefox with my phone so I can’t speak to those offerings. Lots of great features to the app and the night mode for pages is a huge plus for me because I hate viewing white screens. Wish I could add extensions but I know that’s an iOS issue. For future updates I’d love to see the ability to customize the home page to hide the bookmarks bar as well as the frequently visited pages and land me on the Mozilla page similar to the desktop and then this app would be perfect!

Great web browser. It is a relatively easy to understand web browser, but the speed could be improved (maybe it’s because of the lack of the original kernel, I heard that all web browsers for iOS use the safari kernel) but it allows more control and fun with dev options. Some parts of the UI can be hard to press on the iPhone 13 mini, but that is the least successful version of the iPhone 13 lineup. Everything is decently designed on iOS Firefox but it is still very good. It also does not really rely on Apple ecosystems, so I am happy as I use windows every day in my main desktop environment. Downloads should be easily explained due to the fact that it is kinda hard to find the Firefox folder for me due to the file structure I placed on my device, but could be different for each user. I think it is possible that Firefox for iOS can be faster and better in every way in the future. It would be great if fonts installed via configuration profiles from font apps could be applied to Firefox like on windows Linux and probably macOS.

Startup fixed in 38.1, now fix refresh. Thank you for reversing the ridiculous decision to open a new copy of the homepage every time I launch the app. Now please restore the refresh button to the bottom toolbar. The homepage is not something I need quick access to from every page I navigate to, but the refresh button absolutely is. Restore it, and you'll be back to 5 stars Previous review (1 out of 5 stars): You have now made my browsing experience MORE distracting, not less. There's a reason I don't have a homepage configured and I set the new tab page to "about:blank"... I don't want my phone making decisions for me about what I look at. Launching a new instance of the homepage is literally never valuable to me. Meanwhile, the refresh button, which you've inexplicably removed from the bottom toolbar and *replaced with the home button*, IS something I find valuable, and I wish you'd put it back. This app was working better before the update. Please revert the features or allow me to customize back to sensible settings and I will update my review to 5 stars.

why bother you don't listen to your customers. I had this written once,but as usual, using Firefox, as my search engine, on my iOS 16.4 iPhone 12 I lost what I was writing, to see what another person had written, to make sure I was not just writing the same exact thing. Firefox has no individual settings. And in iPhone 12 settings Firefox is NOT even listed!! So along with No settings, NO font settings, Firefox has NO setting where their customers can turn off the REFRESH background setting. So the only thing I know to do is take a picture of the page before I go out of the Firefox app review or anything else on the Firefox web browser page. Or copy and paste what I typed before leaving the present Firefox search engine or on the Firefox app page on my iPhone app store page. I will be so glad when the new search engine comes out that will be customer friendly, and even that you don't know about this new search engine Firefox, it is in the development stage.

Firefox is not my love anymore. This is a shame to see Mozilla and Firefox like this. Back in the day when they were ambitious and wanted to create their own mobile OS, they used to have the nicest of designs, awesome products and much more, these days I don't want to look at their products, as they smell bored and disinterested corporate designs, just look at the tab shadows in the desktop version, menu icons in the iOS app, they used to have the most beautiful icon on the planet and now it is a ugly flat design sitting on a very sadly ugly dark background that I just hate to see on my dock. And this is while browsers like Arc exits and they are making their products more and more beautiful everyday with love and care. Chrome, in all of its evillessness is so nicely designed that I have to controll myself from using, and the only product on the planet that used to be for the freedom of web is now so adandoned by the very company that makes it that you can feel it. If you are hearing this, please please bring back love and passion to Firefox, it is not what we were in love with and I really hate to see it like this. I still long to be a Firefox user, but one that is made with love.

Still crashes frequently. Crashes about 40% of the time I try to close all tabs simultaneously. Submitted feedback that was ignored. Firefox purportedly receives my crash reports and usage data but this has been going on for months. Some update in September or October just broke the app. Firefox is either unwilling or unable to solve the problem. They have reached out twice and told me to clear my data. This did not solve the problem either time. I have even completely deleted the app and reinstalled it, without signing in or migrating any of my old data, and the problem persists. The Firefox team appears committed to the appearance of solving the problem, while ignoring the problem itself. I have crash-data-sharing turned on, certainly they’d be able to see my crash reports and others from users like me in order to identify a pattern and engineer a solution, but they don’t. Please stop referring me to the support system. It has not worked at all for me, I’ve submitted two tickets and both have been ignored. Please provide me an email address with which I can speak to an actual person. I have had no traction whatsoever with your support site.

Fastest Browser for iPad Pro. Why can we not get an adblocker list on the iPad app like the one in the screen shot for the iPhone app in the App Store? You would think the iPads should have more functionality right? It would be great to be able to control the blockers and trackers like what is available on iOS to see how fast this browser can really go once it doesn’t have to load all the junk that is littered all over websites these days. If apple doesn’t start becoming capable of blocking ads out the gate without having to purchase adblocking software and install it then hope it works then I say the sales will probably go downhill pretty soon. Nobody will care if the iPad has an M1 or M2 chip and it can go so fast if you can’t even access the site because your fast tablet can’t block ads. Especially if Apple claims it’s all about privacy they should stand behind this without a doubt.

I mean..... Firefox is a good browser depending on how you use it. In the newer updates it gets really frustrating to look up images. Instead of showing you the images like most browsers would, it shows you but when you click it, it takes you directly to the website instead of letting you look at the images. You would have to click the front to see it. To me this is frustrating, as an artist, I need to look up references to draw things, this leaves me with a huge disadvantage because I’m unable to directly see the image. Firefox also seems to switch from update to update at times, well for me at least. Say there was a new update for your device, or a new update for the app, Firefox would instantly go back to its old ways, which makes me hesitant to update my iPad because I want to have the freedom of looking at an image. I would appreciate if this problem was fixed in someway.... but I wouldn’t really suggest this browser if your soul purpose for it is to look at images.

I want to love it but I can’t. I use Firefox on all of my desktops and I love it, but the mobile version just doesn’t work right. First it needs to incorporate the privacy of Firefox Focus into the main app, and give users the ability to control the level of privacy they need, without having to use a completely different app with all or nothing being your choice. Second they need to work on the interface. Too many steps required to get to bookmarks or to switch tabs. And every time I switch tabs it automatically highlights the last one I opened, not the one I’m on or the next one in the sequence. Finally, it needs to be coded in iOS native tools. It’s obvious that interface elements aren’t native and it just doesn’t fit. For example: tapping a bookmark icon highlights the target area for the tap and you can see that the icon and tap area don’t align. It’s a little thing but it makes the software feel unfinished and buggy, even when it works. Since it can’t match the functionality of Safari or chrome I’m forced to use an alternative, and I really would rather have Firefox on all of my devices. I’ll keep checking back and hoping for the day they get it right.

WHY MOZILLA WHY?. I have been using Firefox as my sole browser since 2008. They have had a fantastic and secure browser for a long time and it has been a great relationship. Apple products on the other hand are complete garbage in the usability department. I bought a Mac mini in 2014 because my hard drive went out on my 5 year old gateway laptop, within 18 months the Mac mini was unusably slow. And now for my Ipad I got this little dandy last year and I have never owned another piece of technology so infuriating in my life, the one respite was the fact that I had Firefox on it, the one program I knew would never let me down. I was asked to do a major update a couple months ago, and I figured what’s the harm Firefox has never steered me wrong. When the update was complete, lo and behold I have lost all my loveable Firefox usability. They have updated me to what is little more than a safari skin. I am permanently unable to access any of my Firefox account information. I can’t change my password because all of my information will be lost and with it still working on my other devises (pc and galaxy) I cannot afford to risk losing that information. This one star review is not for Mozilla as a company but their decision to bow to apple and its BS.

If it works don’t fix it. 100 - Updated to 100, and the home page, which should be a brief visit to tap a pinned page or a pocket article or type in the URL bar, now lags multiple seconds. This means every single time I want to go to a new site or do a new search there is an atrocious 3-5 second lag. There is a lag before the page changes and further lag before the page becomes responsive. This is an entirely new issue with the update to 100. I had *zero* issues with Firefox until this update and an on a 13 pro, so hardware isn’t the issue. The only thing I see different is the pocket articles now scroll sideways instead of vertically. I also see the jump back in switch and notice the “homepage” setting takes several seconds to open.” I turned off all the “recent” things you want to show me without improvement. Please stop with the pointless UI tinkering and focus on keeping things working smoothly. 109 - seems to be a little snappier, but now reduce transparency from accessibility settings is inverted in Firefox for the close tab, new tab pop up. That menu is clear when reduce transparency is on. Maybe it’s unique to my settings and it’ll sort itself out. Pretty frustrating.

The best and safest browser. I was a computer scientist, systems analyst and support technician for 51 years. I am also a woman. I have exclusively used Firefox since it’s inception. I have always been impressed that it is nonprofit. In 2013, I had 2 PC’s and my bank card. Having hacked the stolen computers, the perp was able to access my bank account and steal $300,000. She was able to gain remote access to my other computers and commit other crimes. I was able to track her activities, but law enforcement did nothing, because they didn’t believe a woman could know that much about computers and the law. Using Firefox, I was able to protect myself from this known hacker. Any time she broke through Firefox’s secure settings, if Firefox didn’t first notify me, I would notify them, and my accounts would again be sufficiently secured. The techs at Internet Explorer or Chrome wouldn’t have done the same. I am forever grateful to the people who have made Firefox possible. I love Nightly. Not only will I always exclusively use Firefox, I have promoted it to all of my clients, and anyone else who would listen because they cared about safety when on the Web. I will continue to do so because I have faith and experience that no other browser can even come close to what Firefox can do.

I Feel Secure Using FireFox. FireFox is the very best browser available today. I feel extremely secure, when I use FireFox; I am confident everything I do online is secure. I do not worry someone is getting my private information and or filtering my data. When I use other browsers, which The United States government forces to use, I feel threaten by the fact that other browsers are taking all my private information such as credit card numbers, codes, stealing my ideas. It is as if it is no longer worth to buy a computer; not only the computers are astronomically expensive but the same companies via other browsers are taking my information and my ideas and my privacy. FireFox is it. I feel I can express my self and write to my friends, and browse the internet and download files without the worry as when I am forced to use other browsers.

Horrible User Experience. I have used Firefox on and off now for a span of seven years, and I keep checking in to see if they fixed their terrible bookmark UX, and I am disappointed every time. Let me go into detail. For as long as I can remember, the most frustrating aspect of mobile Firefox is accessing bookmarks. Too many taps!! There should be a library icon on the navigation bar at the bottom, you tap ONCE and it shows you your bookmarks. More specifically the user should be able to customize what bookmarks they want to see right up front. For me, all my bookmarks live in the Bookmarks toolbar. I never put bookmarks into the Bookmarks menu - I mean, does anyone? Second point, right now when you tap the menu and tap “Your Library” it slides up this pane which displays your bookmarks, great - however, it’s super annoying to dismiss. If you don’t land your finger exactly on the right spot and swipe down, you end up swiping something else. There should be a “Done” element or some other way to dismiss that pane other than swiping. Even tapping on the gray swipe element to dismiss would be ok. I really love what Mozilla is doing with Firefox, with emphasis on security and privacy, but their UX/UI needs some serious attention. Even the desktop browser looks dated and has issues. These things wouldn’t bother your average user that much, but as a UX/UI designer myself - it grinds my gears.

Images won’t load & other problems. Generally speaking I adore Firefox and use it on Web and Mobile, but ever since the penultimate update (or some such change on Firefox’s end), I’ve been unable to load images at all. Whether it’s the Google images tab, a search on DuckDuckGo, literally any kind of website, or video thumbnails, I can’t see it. Certain interfaces don’t load as well; tiktok links (don’t have the app) lead to a black screen (though “play” still works) and I’ve noticed that on some websites it just doesn’t work entirely. I don’t understand why FF changed like this, and I can’t really file a broken site report on everything. It significantly impacts my web activity while reading articles, logging in, or looking at reference photos. I have to use Safari instead… and requesting the web version of the site both doesn’t fix it and makes it hard on my eyes. I’m writing this review after updating to the latest version, please fix it ASAP

always a firefox fan. - Open source: helps with security - dark theme. I don’t really understand why edge and chrome can’t do this I think these folks found a really nice solution by building it in proper. Dark mode is not a niche at all. Reading at night is horrid on a white background. I never could stand it. - talk about privacy focused, look at the firefox business model - speed, and user interface. - stable and fast, and standards based. Not sure why there aren’t more downloads for firefox. Especially because of the dark background i find it to be one of the more useable browsers.u fact it had one before safari did. My one ask to the devs as far as features if we aren’t talking security which i always want more of: please add the profile switching (make it convenient) like chrome. It’s a useful way to manage. browser state and usage. I get it’s an advanced feature, but if i’m doing something for work like testing webpages, and making tracking harder or just managing browser state by profile it helps.

Privacy settings lacking. This is described as a Safe, Private browser but only if you manually clear out Website data and browsing history. True, It has the private browsing button but you always have to remember to use it. Otherwise there is no setting to automatically clear private data when you exit the app as there is on the windows version. You have to manually clear Private Data by going into Settings>Data Management>Clear Private Data. BUT WAIT! Don’t forget to tap on “Website Data” above Clear Private Data! Here you will find that Firefox has been storing data on all the sites you have been visiting and the very stuff you thought you were getting rid of when you cleared private data! Why is this data here other than to exploit your web browsing? Web Site data usually includes data miners like Double Click and Google even if you weren’t using Google. Make sure you clear this stuff too even though, some of it mysteriously comes back even from sites you didn’t visit in a browsing session.

Love Firefox bowser but…. I’ve used this browser for almost 2 years now and I can see improvements and really appreciate the sync feature between devices even when they’re different OS. I also love the straightforwardness of Mozilla and the easiness and reliability of the app. However, the app is not as user friendly when it comes to autofill passwords. I use 1Pass as my main password manager and have it set up that way in my phone. Half the websites, I have to go to the app and copy the credentials because the keyboard won’t suggest autofill. Same with credit cards, the app won’t suggest autofill. This can get very annoying when filling out forms or just login in websites overall. In the big scheme of things, this is not a dealbreaker for me right now but given that we are moving to a passwordless future (passkeys, etc), this can very much be a deal breaker as compatibility with passwords managers will need to be much better.

Only for newer phones I guess?. Mozilla, you shills!!! (I joke. This is probably unintentional even if it is frustrating). I have an iPhone 6S+ that’s been working spectacularly after all these years. I never felt the need to upgrade (another reviewer has just about my same reasons: it’s expensive, flashy, and wasteful to upgrade frequently). After several billion years, I updated my phone to the newest OS available due to that important security patch. Firefox worked better BEFORE the update. It takes an EXTREMELY long time to load anything now, and if it does, there’s a 45% chance the app outright crashes after a couple seconds. And then I have to load the page again. When I launch the app, it can hang and ignore input. When I type, often it will start to take input and even allow me to press “go”, and then the app “refreshes” and wipes my tab (and its loading progress) clean. I love having all of my bookmarks in one place, but now I’m stuck with Safari I guess. Fix this when you can, guys!!

Great browser, slightly off visuals. I’ve been using Firefox forever on both pc and mobile, and I love the clean, fast design much better than Chrome. One small problem (I’m just nitpicking now) is that with the new update the tabs button is now a squashy rectangle where double digit numbers are cramped in, and this annoys me a bit. Please put it back to a square for the next update! Also, the menu buttons have a bit of lag between pressing them and a menu popping up. Can you please make this a bit more responsive? Keep up the good work Mozilla.

I am letting you go…. Since the last update I have experienced nothing but freezes on the 2017 iPad Pro. It has become impossible to have a single session without the pages only half displaying and so it’s time to find a more suitable browser. If only you were more concerned about the user experience in your search for more money, but I suppose THAT is one pandemic we will have to live with for a lot longer than COVID…

Many sites don’t work. Using the online version of MS Office, certain functions just won’t work when they will on Safari. Another example is when ordering from AliExpress, PayPal won’t load. It just launches a new tab with “about:blank”, whereas it works fine on safari. I tried turning off tracking protection which didn’t make a difference. Also Ecosia isn’t available as a search engine, and there are no extensions.

Better. It's easy to give this app a good review because it is good. If you want an iOS browser that really syncs with your desktop this is it. So easy to find and read open tabs,history and bookmarks. I really have given the other top three alternatives a fair go and this is the best. This browser really does save your passwords and keeps them in an easy to access list for editing or removal. If you already use Firefox for OSX you will love it's simple integration with the iOS version. Much improved from previous versions I'm glad I gave it another try.

Bring back Private/non-private interface. I loved this app and the seamlessness of sending tabs to and from my Firefox devices. However in the latest update they’ve changed the look of private tabs, they used to be signified by a black theme with the purple mask shown at the bottom of the page, however now in the new update they look near identical to a regular tab with the only signifier of a private tab being an even smaller version of the purple mask symbol. Really hope the UI team bring the old layout back!

Love the browser, BUT. Great browser. Clearly the fastest imo. No missing features or “bummers” except for one thing. I’m on an iPad Pro 2020 release 11in (brand new) and have the latest system software and the latest app software but when I go to google image and click on one to ‘save image’ it crashes, doesn’t save the image and returns to my Home Screen. The app has full access to my photos and I don’t have the same issue at all on safari on the same iPad. Nor do I have an issue on Firefox on my Samsung S9 phone. It saves picture from Firefox no problems. Sounds like you have an issue with my iPads software

Allow split reading (side-by-side webpages). Overall, it performs as a solid browser. I do wish that side-by-side website reading would be allowed, as in Safari. The browser tends to reload tabs in the background -- unlike Safari -- which can be annoying when reading long pdfs (especially without side-by-side reading supported), or when switching apps. I think it would be especially useful to have separate workspaces for personal, work, etc. like in the desktop version. This would be great in general and for shared devices.

It’s better then the defeault. While it is better than safari (mostly because it doesn’t randomly delete all of my tabs) but it is missing some quality of life things one being the capability to resize the page because in the app I feel like everything looks zoomed in and I’d like to zoom out a bit

A serious step down from the earlier released. Great browser. Good alternative to Safari. Blocks image loading thus saving my mobile data plan. The swipe gestures totally mess up browsing because these cause unintended page reloads (pull down/swipe left right) causing valuable partially entered form data to be lost, and an increase in mobile data and loss of time. Hate gestures. Coincidentally, I patched my iphone 4s to ios 9.3.6 last night and then used Firefox. The last Firefox release on ios 9 is a joy to use. Quick nice and simple: Just like ios 9.

Version 10.1 is Great. Version 10.1 (Nov 2017) is a big improvement for usability and stability. The new top and bottom bars are perfect. The new buttons are in great positions for me. Firefox for iOS is a stable browser, does everything chrome does. I trust Firefox more than Chrome. Don’t give all your personal data to Google. There’s still a minor issue with clicking some picture links.

Latest version issues. Since the latest version and on ios16 the first tab randomly doesn't open and tabs randomly don't remember their state / cookies so the page loads as if I'm not logged in. I have to refresh the page/tab for Firefox to reread state and cookies and the page in question then loads and remembers where I was at. Have tried a full reinstall which helped for a bit but now the problem is back. Almost like the browser is treating the tabs as private sometimes.

Love this browser. Long time Firefox user. It is so much easier and user friendly then alternatives like chrome, while also being much more secure and private. I also love the logo and themes. Much nicer to look at then other browsers. I would recommend this to everyone.

A buggy mess for physical keyboard users. Firefox has always been my go to. Unfortunately, this is not the case on iPads. When using a trackpad to swipe down(specifically the Logitech Folio Touch), for example, the browser would fail to display the address bar. This gets annoying quite quickly as I have to use my finger every time I need to see the address and tab bars. Furthermore, there is also a bug that prevents the use of both touch and physical keyboards. For some reasons, the keyboard would disappear, preventing me from typing anything. The aforementioned bugs are enough to for me to stay away from the browser till further improvements.

Good but a few annoyances. I’ve recently noticed what I think might be a bug, and can be replicated. If you already have a website open, then close the app, open it up again, on a blank page, it automatically replicates the already open website. Two fixes I would like to see. First, regarding custom dictionaries. when you got to search or type a link. If the starting letter is the same as a word in your custom dictionary, Firefox will auto fill, which is annoying. Second problem, more so when you are trying to perform a long string search. If you’re in the middle of typing and you accidentally touch above the letters on the keyboard. The keyboard disappears and also the search text too.

The best best browser since day one… !!!. I absolutely love Firefox! Always have. Flexibility, backwards-compatibility, security. It only exists to be a great browser. No other agendas. So many great add ons. Simple to mess with and communications from Mozilla are always friendly and they never speak down to you. Love you folks !! Long may you prosper!

Needs search tabs. Please bring back search all tabs. The new typing in website in the address bar only works if you know the website name rather than just a bit of the page title. Also, search all tabs makes it easy to close all tabs from a particular website once you're finished with it.

pretty good but. what we need is much much desired script blocking. Granular. Some scripts are real evil others get the content obviously we need to be able to choose which to block which to allow. Then windowing to look up references, prices, sources etc to cut paste and so on. Lastly we need to be able to load domain and host blocking as there are way too many devious companies and individuals wanting our screen realestate and our attention and money. Otherwise it is one of the best browsers and really deserves to sing.

Apple ruining products once again. Completely at odds with what Firefox is all about. No customisation options, stupid Apple ‘gestures’ forced on you without any way to turn them off. A shell of ultimately a great product. Nav bar hiding on scroll down on the iPad is a particular issue for me. Completely unneeded feature which ultimately just creates more issues without the ability to turn it off. It doesn’t come back 100% of the time when I scroll back up and I’m left tapping the screen trying to force the navbar to re-appear.

Swipe gestures needed. Firefox is losing the fight for market share. You want us to switch from chrome and safari to Firefox and we want to do it. But you need to have every feature that those other browsers do if you have any chance of actually taking back some of the browser market. Both safari and chrome allow me to swipe from tab to tab using the address bar and I’m always using it. Please ad this to your browser if not for my sake but for yours.

Seriously frustrating since the last update.. As an avid Firefox user for years both on the desktop and IPad something has gone wrong recently. What used to be a perfect browsing experience on the IPad has now become a sticky frustration. Trying to type something Firefox does not record the key strokes instantly and sometimes it is many seconds later it catches up. Scrolling up and down the page also sticks. None of my other apps suffer the same problem so hopefully the developers can sort out the problem. It would normally be a 5 star review but not at the moment.

Losing (lost?) its way. I was happy to persevere through the many bugs and glitches, in supporting open software and privacy-focused browsing. But I can see that firefox now compromises on privacy as well - for example, in sending mobile data including our IP address to Adjust (analytics vendor), and in sharing clicking behaviour with its ‘Partners’. You should probably remove the ‘Private’ descriptor from your app title. I’ll be gradually migrating to another browser on my devices. Writing ‘we take your feedback seriously’ and then not taking it seriously isn’t really meaningful. This is sad because I’ve been using FF for around 15 years now

From 5 stars to 1 after last update. Hair-pullingly slow and clunky on iOS after the recent update. Also seems to want to keep taking me back to the very first tab I have open when I switch to another app and come back to it, incredibly annoying with a lot of tabs open to have to keep scrolling back down to the bottom tab where I left off. Was at least thankful to discover I could at turn off ‘jump back in’ and recents in the homepage to get it looking closer to the way it was before. Don’t like the new look at all. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it (or break it, in this case!) Not sure how the address bar at the bottom is supposed to improve the user experience, just another extra psychological gear-shift I have to make now when going back and forth between other browsers and Firefox. I can also no longer see what I’m typing as I’m typing it on Reddit because of this daft new layout, rendering FF useless for Reddit, and who knows what other sites. I won’t be sticking around to find out, you’ve lost a user here I’m sad to say because you were my go-to browser. I hope you can improve things in the future so I can come back. For now it’s un-usable, at least on iphone...

The recent update/s ruined it. I am an avid Firefox user on both mobile and desktop and I would have given this app 5 stars but the last few updates for the iOS app have really killed the performance. The keyboard is constantly freezing up or just isn’t there when it’s supposed to be and the whole the app crashes over and over again. It also makes the phone noticeably hotter and the page scrolling often freezes up or becomes very laggy. This has been very frustrating so I really hope this gets fixed or I will ditch the Firefox app and look for another iOS browser.

By Barnzee. I’ve been Firefox for years and I’ve never had one issue with it in 20+ years on different versions of windows & since it became offered to users of phones. It’s the safest browser I’ve ever used. I honestly can’t thank the developers who created Firefox & all their staff members for keeping me safe from hackers and attack pop up sites. Thank you so much.

Buggy and Poor UX on latest update. There wasn’t really any need to change in the first place but the latest build is very buggy regardless of the design changes. Night mode simply doesn’t work, it will continuously revert back to day mode, and to get it working again I have to turn night mode off then back on. Opening new tabs and navigating between tabs is waaaayyyy too snappy. It feels extremely jarring and isn’t smooth like it was in previous builds. Also having the tab view pop up in a ‘card’ style layout with the tab options at the top makes very little sense. Not sure who approved this design change. This latest build feels like a step towards safari which is odd. I may have to start using chrome or another browser if Firefox are going to make unnecessary changes that only cause issues, when the app was fully functional without issues before.

Very Good. Personally I don’t like using google because of the absurd privacy invading and data hogging app that it is so I downloaded Firefox for much more secure and private web browser. It’s also just much better in general so I would say that it’s a great way to use the internet.

Crashes since upgrading to iOS 15. I enjoy using FF for its clean UI and out of the box privacy, but it crashes a lot since upgrading to iOS 15. Also, the last update introduced showing the 'home’ page instead of the last tab when opening the app. This is an unnecessarily opinionated feature that I have no interest in and actually makes my life harder. If this behaviour isn’t made optional in the next update, I’ll have to make a different browser my default.

Lack of plugin support makes it a no-go. As an exclusively Firefox user on Windows, I love the simplicity of moving between the browser on my laptop and mobile devices. However the lack of plugin support makes security a hassle. My password manager integrates seamlessly into both Safari and Chrome on iOS, allowing me to easily log in to any website with my secure randomised passwords. Firefox requires switching apps and manually copying the details from my password manager into my browser. For now, I’m sticking with Safari on my iPad.

Mostly Functional. [Written for version 40.1] It took a few days from 40.0, but Firefox does appear to be working normally and without crashes. Had some mild issues with working out which “new tabs” were actually new tabs and not pretending to be actual tabs by grabbing screens from other tabs, but that’s minor.

Old tabs render half pages. Great alternative to Safari and Chrome, but it has a really irritating and disruptive bug that I can’t seem to find any mention of on the internet. If I leave a tab for a few minutes, it will only render the top visible parts. It’s as if it just takes a screenshot of that portion and it can’t be interacted with. The worst part is that hitting reload or back doesn’t work - you have to copy the URL and paste it in a new tab. Tried reinstalling and clearing cache, but no luck.

Loyally frustrated. Have been using Mozilla since mid 2000s even when they were out classed by chrome, so I don’t say this lightly. The last few updates have been utter trash. Every search will be slow, and the browser will crash over and over again. Every time I think an update will fix it, it doesn’t it keeps crashing. Very frustrated and don’t want to switch to a browser that’s less private but it’s near unusable at this point.

I wish they would stop making it worse. Can no longer have bookmarks on the Home Screen and the placement of the bookmarks in the menu is at the very top and not changeable meaning it’s much more annoying to access. There are also issues with the menu not working when you hit it sometimes or taking several seconds to load. The app is adding new customisations like backgrounds on the Home Screen but keep removing options that help usability. Please just stop removing things and make them options. Please.

Not impressed!. I’ve been using Firefox for just over a year and was quite happy with the browser until 3 months ago when suddenly all my tabs disappeared, erased completely with no way of getting any of it back; this has happened not once or twice but 5 times! What’s finally made me delete this browser app for good was when I was using it went from one app to another back to the browser and my current session was signed out, all my info and data was wiped yet again with no way of getting it back!

Much better than safari. Although it’s a shame Apple doesn’t allow web browser apps to use their own rendering engine. Apple destroyed the HTML select box drop down by turning it into that horrible scroll click thing which takes more taps to select items and harder to use. Apple really doesn’t want web browsers to shine because that would compete with their precious native apps.

Favourite browser on every platform. Works & integrates very well, occasional crashes but no more than safari & easily recovered. Love sending tabs between instances & the included password manager. Would be nice if extensions were compatible but not the end of the world. Continue your excellent work iOS team Firefox!

Great browser but ruined by bugginess. There are a lot of very annoying bugs that really kill the experience when using Firefox and frustrate me when I use it. To name a few: - Opening the tab tray scrolls all the way to the top tab — if you have 80 tabs open and you’re trying to switch between two at the bottom, it’s super frustrating to have to scroll down to the bottom every time you switch - The app never resumes to your last used tab, always the first tab - opening something in a new tab can place the new tab in bizarre places — it’s sometimes the next tab or the very end tab, but randomly it’ll open in the middle of all my tabs. This combined with the first bug makes it extremely difficult to find not only my new tab but the one I just left…

Overall too annoying. Pages load quicker than safari but it has problems, some pages only half load, sometimes pages freeze, just seems overall not as stable as safari. Also when you start typing an address into the bar the predictive auto fill is too slow. I often hit a few letters and hit enter, expecting it to finish the address and go a la safari, but if I don’t pause a second and wait, it just does a google search for the half typed address

Worked really well until a few days ago. This app was perfect until a few days ago. Now every time I open it and start typing in the address bar, it crashes and I have to relaunch it and then it works normally. Please fix it if possible. It’s starting to become really annoying.

Awesome browser and search engine!. Firefox is an absolutely amazing alternative to google and safari, in fact I would argue it’s better. I have nothing to complain about this app and it is really easy to access and use. Not to mention, Firefox is much more visually appealing than google and other search engines. Keep it up Mozilla!!!😅

GREAT but it needs some work. This app is a great alternative to Chrome and Safari, but I can’t help but notice some bad parts: 1. It’d be great if you could make the browser look like the desktop version’s default theme. That purple and white looks fantastic on PC and I think it’d look great here too. Either way, more options for the colour scheme would be VERY welcome and put Firefox far ahead of other browsers like Chrome which only has Dark/Light mode on mobile. 2. Saving bookmarks is kind of a hassle. It would be great if we could save a bookmark directly to a folder (like in Chrome) and not have to bookmark it and then navigate to ‘Mobile Bookmarks’ to change it’s location. Other than that. It is a GREAT browser. The incognito mode is easy to turn on, the crash messages are kind of funny and the bookmarks save over if you use Firefox on PC.

The best by far!!. I’ve been using Firefox for more than 10 years now & find it so very user-friendly & reliable. I’m now over 75 & can still keep up with my grandchildren & their technology!! They can’t believe Nonna doesn’t need them to guide her around everything she does on line. I use emails, 3 social media platforms, online games etc. With Firefox it’s all very easy!! Thanks Mozilla Firefox for helping me stay up-to-date with my many & varied interests

So far, So good. I have one request; can you add the option of hold-selecting a link and give the option of adding that link to read-later or to an offline reading list? Otherwise I have to open it, and then options and then add to reading list - which kind of takes away the utility of having the reading list add option button. Love the in built night mode and the display options; was the deal-maker for me, besides the above.

Can’t change cookie settings. I just need to be able to change my privacy settings on the iOS version of Firefox. That’s all. Browser is mostly fine, it browses content, as it should. However it blocks most website cookies for user privacy. And usually this is fine! A more private internet experience! But some sites NEED these cookies to work properly, and I cannot unblock them. I’ve checked the Mozilla page for advice on how to adjust my cookie settings. The first step says to go to settings and then privacy settings, or something like that. I Do Not have that. It Does Not Exist. There is no “privacy settings” button within settings. No one else seems to be having this problem when I checked the help forums. I just need to be able to change my privacy settings on the iOS version of Firefox. Please, help.

What’s happening to the fox :(. Perfectly serviceable browser, I appreciate the privacy and it works well. Slower as late but that’s probably just because of the recent household switch to the NBN. My problems stem primarily from design changes. Why does dark mode have such a glaring keyboard? And more importantly, why is the fox becoming less fox-shaped?! Nobody cares that it looks more streamlined and smooth, in fact that is worse. If this continues, what will become of our fox friend? It may seem a childish complaint, but I worry for the fox. Return their leg to them.

Shame on Apple and Mozilla. This is not Firefox in any way, shape, or form, bar name and organisation. In fact, it is antithetical to the very idea of Firefox and extensions, and, quite appropriately for Apple, gives the guise of choice and privacy, when this is not at all the case. The curated thought-friendly “extensions” are an abysmal fraction of the available ecosystem made by developers, and provides no access to any tools that prevent third party snooping, blocking, or anything that stops Apple from extracting its value from you. Additionally, the studies and telemetry options that exist in the significantly trimmed down settings menu, have flipped themselves back to transmitting data without ny input. Programming error, I’m sure- just like all those other privacy invasions that benefit the people who made the “error”. As a hollow shell of itself as an app, within a trash walled garden ecosystem, the developers should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of sacrifice to the principles of the browser and open internet, and to the organisation itself, for bending the knee once again, and entrenching this kind of anti-people technology.

This app is ridiculous!. Every time you switch between the current webpage you're on to another app, whenever you click back on firefox it automatically opens a new tab. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! I can't find any way to turn this off, and it is so ridiculous! I am CONSTANTLY swapping between a webpage and other apps to reference or copy information, and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. a new tab is opened! It's so redundant (not to mention infuriating!!!), do the developers of this app honestly think we aren't capable of opening a new tab, when there is a button provided so we can do exactly that?! WHY WOULD ANYONE CREATE SUCH A STUPID SYSTEM?!?!?! Surely it is common sense that people don't want to constantly be closing new tabs every time they want to reference something! Surely it's also common sense that every time someone opens the app, they don't necessarily want a new tab! WHY WOULD YOU FORCE THIS STUPIDITY ON YOUR CONSUMERS?!?!?! If this doesn't get fixed soon, I'm deleting this app and never coming back! I've honestly not seen such **BAD** design from a big company in a LONG time!!! Aside from this one gripe, the app's not bad. But if you're like me and swap between apps a lot, then this problem makes it at best a 1 star app!

Best browser ever. For customisation, security, privacy, ease of use and everything in between it just doesn’t get any better than Firefox. Been using it since the days of Netscape and it’s always been better than the competition! Keep up the good work.

Proper Dark Mode experience. I only use this browser as it offers true dark mode web browsing. Not even Apple or Google can provide that despite the billions in r&d. I even use this as a replacement for certain apps that don’t offer dark mode so highly recommend if this is a key feature for you.

Would normally be 5 stars but... I have been using Mozilla on PC for years and now a few on IOS too, but with the last couple of updates a problem has arisen where when Googling something the browser jumps to the bottom of the page and you have to scroll back up. Reasonably minor but enough to get under your skin after significant number of updates and it’s not being addressed, and finding a clear way to submit feedback on app is proving fruitless. Apart from this unaddressed issue and obfuscation of clear way to feedback it (should) be 5 stars. Please fix now.

Exactly what I need. Love using Mozilla on my desktop and now able to sync to my phone is very useful. Only thing I don’t like is (there could be a setting for this I haven’t found) everytime I open up the app it opens a new tab. I end up clearing 15 tabs a day because I could close it, open another app then want to go back to it and it opens a new tab again. Only feedback I gave

Thanks Mozilla! Very nice experience.. I can browser like on desktop Firefox, my logins are available and read mode is a tap away!

If you want your privacy, use Firefox!. Take a look around you stop selling yourself to the capitalist. Mess their system up, they’re not out there to do you any favors.

Unexpected consequences of account sync. Beware! Firefox promotes syncing your logins and passwords on all your devices but doesn’t tell you that it leaves behind all that data on any device you sign in even if you uninstall Firefox. I’ve had a massive data breach due to this.

New updates are awful. Between moving the refresh button and replacing it with the home button, and then forcing the home page every time the app opens I’m done with this app. Destroyed a great UI to push a feature no one wants or asked for. Even the new tabs don’t open as well, now they go to the end of your tabs list instead of beside the tab they linked from. It’s like you went out of your way to reduce quality of life features on this update.

Literally unusable since it's updated. App does not respond to any input since updated

Another update full of bugs. The latest update has completely broken tab organization and thumbnails don’t match the tab that opens when you tap them. Plus there seems to be a problem with cookies not being saved as I am constantly needing to login to some websites. What a huge step backwards, maybe it’s time I go back to Safari…

Needs an ad blocker. Needs an adblocker or support third-parter blockers like AdGuard.

Opens 2 tabs each time. I hate, hate, hate the latest update that causes the app to open a fresh tab each time you open it. Just let me go back in and be on the last page I visited or to my blank homepage! I never want a second tab opened up. What a waste! Messy and dumb.

Problème d’images et de visuels. j’adore à Firefox et je l’utilise depuis longtemps sur mon ordinateur. Par contre, sur mon téléphone l’application ne fonctionne pas bien. Je ne vois pas la plupart des images, le fond est noir au lieu d’être blanc..... et les sites deviennent tous déstructurés. Je suis obligée d’utiliser Safari..😔

Get Rid of Top Sites. Forcing me to use Top Sites is an absolute deal breaker. I don’t want to have to continuously delete those.

Versatile, privacy conscious, and effective. I’m glad I found Firefox. Leaving the 🍎 ecosystem is easier than I thought!

Does not support meaningful ad blocking. The lack of support for meaningful ad blocking is the only thing still preventing me from using this. Tracking protection is not the same thing although some of the functionality overlaps. Safari ad blocking is still much better.

Not working. I have created an account but it won’t let me sign in. I’ve been trying for over an hour. I’m done. Deleting account

Hangs a lot now. Used to work more smoothly, now it hangs and crashes often on my iPad. I also don’t like how it works now when I go to a previously opened tab.

Wow. Performance wise, it is better than Safari.... but The UI and UX is terrible! Stop messing with home pages, stupid modes that hide important functions, and generally make features “undiscoverable”. I mean, really, just stop it! Focus just on performance, please!

Great browser but why move refresh button. My daily mobile browser, but why did you have to move the refresh button. I rarely visit the “home” page

Newest update buggy, or just bad?. The newest update doesn’t function properly. Opening private tabs is now a frustrating process that requires too many steps. And when you minimize the browser with a private tab open, it reverts to a ‘non-private’ state when maximized again. ( and then you have go through th whole process all over again !) And even when you do browse in a private tabs, identical ‘shadow’ tabs open simultaneously in non-private tabs. Strange. I’ve used Firefox for 20+ years, and have always loved it. But this update is a massive step backwards, and is atrocious.

Ads. No easy or obvious way to block ads with this app. Great on laptop, not great on mobile. Sticking with Firefox Focus.

New ui is horrible. Literally switched browsers because of the niceness of old Firefox but now I’ll switch again

Underrated, amazing. An easy to approach interface paired with awesome privacy controls. The only modern contender to the Chrome juggernaut. Firefox and Mozilla should be household names, as they seem to be of the few remaining tech bastions that prioritizes people and not profit. Can’t recommend enough!

v37 is a usability nightmare. v37 has made Firefox unusable for me. Starting a new tab with the Home Screen after inactivity instead of returning me to my last tab (generally news) is really annoying. This should have been added as an option. The new location for the reload button is annoying but on par with other browsers. The problem is it’s hard to press and if you miss you get the address bar. When you close the address bar the reload button has disappeared. The only way to get it back is to switch tabs. Unfortunately I have to stop using Firefox until these issues are resolved.

Great but far from perfect. Would have given 4 stars but this new version made me dock a star as they replaced the page refresh button with a new tab button at the bottom centre of the UI. Now it takes two steps to refresh a page as I now have to go into a menu to do that. Should make the new tab button (which was the page refresh button) a user preference in the settings.

Can’t reload search result pages. This app could have been amazing, but I noticed that when I reopen the app after quitting, my open pages/tabs that are search results do not load and are stuck at the default home page. This especially happens to the last tab of that kind. There’s no way to refresh either because the url bar is empty, even tho the tab title still shows the page title that’s supposed to load. Really annoying since it’s no different than having the tab straight up close and lost. I have to reopen a new tab and try to remember what I searched before. Counterproductive. Also would have been nice to have tab management available for iOS.

Reader view would be nice. You have it on regular Firefox, why can’t you add it here?

Move ads on browser. If you want your browser be better move ads and pop up on your browser Put ad block

Worth it for Dark Mode. The only browser with a proper, genuine dark mode - blackout background with dim text. Bookmark system needs some work and “Find In Page” is broken, but I’m satisfied overall.

Home Button is a bad UI choice. Give us back the refresh button in the bottom taskbar. I don’t know anyone that wanted the home button over the refresh button. At the very least give us the option to customize the bottom taskbar.

Good but big problem. Ever since the update all my bookmarks are gone. Straight up. It's on my laptop, on my other devices but not on here. I've tried syncing it but nothing happens

Disappointed with the changes made and the with what's still hasn't been fixed. I was having a great time with Firefox, until version 37 came along. Once it came along, all it did was ruin my great time with Firefox. For starters, as someone who likes to use Firefox to read articles and whatnot, it is really frustrating that, whenever the app reloads or I close out of the app, it brings to me a new empty tab, effectively making me lose where I was in the article. In the changelog for v37, it states that "Firefox will start on your Home Page every time you reopen the browser after a couple of hours to avoid being distracted by the tabs of your last session." That, in fact, is the complete opposite of what I want, and its "positive" intentions of opening the Home Page to avoid me being distracted is, ironically, a nuisance. I want to continue off with the tabs of my previous session. If I wanted to start a new session, I could just create a new tab myself. Please, please fix this issue in the next update (version 38, to my knowledge, has NOT FIXED THIS). Maybe have it so that opening a new tab after a few hours of not being on Firefox/app reloading is something users can toggle on and off. As long as I don't have to be faced with a new tab upon opening the app when all I want to do is continue off reading from where I left off, then I will be happy with Firefox again.

A good start. Needs work.. Its better than Safari but the bookmarking system needs more functionality. I’d like to see a way to import/export bookmarks to an HTML file at least. I have zero interest in using Firefox sync (and never will).

Good. It’s a good app. Please add “search” for history at the history tab. Also, the reading view doesn’t work on some websites.

No ad blocker. Too many ads, bloated, slow... And now Firefox hates free speech? Get woke, go broke. Zero stars.

How many blank tabs can you open?. I HATE that now every time you open the app it loads a stupid “homepage”. Just give me the last tab I was on like before. Sheesh. Talk about breaking something that didn’t need to be fixed.

Just put the refresh button back. That’s all I want. The new home button is useless to me and having to scroll to the top of a page to refresh is about as annoying and time consuming as having to stretch up to the top of the screen. Just put it back where it was, please.

Great app. Love it but the most recent update as of Sept 24/21 has it always start on your home page with no visible way to turn the option off. I WANT to be distracted by the tabs I have open, it’s why I left them open.

Everything is wrong. Crashes every couple minutes. Back/forward buttons are at the bottom, tabs when you open the up are damn near impossible to close. Also uses yahoo as a default search engine, which is just stupid.

Disappointment. Firefox is easily the best browser on PC. However on IOS it is very poor. The Night mode feature is just unbearable to use. It basically just inverts every colour, so images are impossible to look at. The entire layout just feels worse to use than Safari, for iPhone at least. Hopefully it improves cause I’ll gladly use Firefox & not let every government and company know all my personal data.

Leave it alone. Ooops! You screwed it up (again). A jump back in list something or other? You know, you don’t have to improve when it’s already adequate enough. So confusing when you keep moving access to bookmarks and history around. Your greatest admirers have been doing this for years: Google, Microsoft, Apple. Be different. Make them hate you.

My go to Browser. Have used Mozilla Firefox with DuckDuckgo for years to enjoy the streaming sites and YouTube Ad free. I suffer when using browsers and search engines that bombard me with advertisements, pop ups, and redirect searchesto pages other than the one I want. Knowing how google keeps user browsing histories forever and use the information to take advantage of human behaviours and profit from them, it is good to know Firefox is the safe choice.

Stop messing with the UI. Just stop. You switched the places if the refresh and home button so now I keep going home when I'm trying to refresh. Put it back or give us the option to customize it.

Needs a proper adblocker. I understand that on iOS every browser is just a reskinned Safari, but Firefox needs a proper adblocker for it to become a usable alternative. Not being able to use apps like AdGuard or 1Blocker to block ads and filter web pages kills it for me. Please implement an in-browser ad block solution. Tracking protection is a good to have for now but a robust adblocking system will seal the deal for me.

Mozilla against free speech. Too bad that Mozilla once a bastion of internet neutrality is siding up with the people that are against free speech. Very poor decision.

Bookmarks management needs improvement. We should be able to manage bookmarks from the app. I can’t even choose to add the bookmark to the list I have on my desktop app. The distinction between the two makes it really cumbersome. Why do we have a ‘Bookmarks Toolbar’, a ‘Bookmarks Menu’ and ‘Unsorted Bookmarks’? Just one container/folder that is the same in the mobile app and the desktop app would be great.

Why a new “Home” tab…. …EVERY TIME the app reopens? Really, Mozilla? Have the feature but provide a way to turn it off. Personally, I don’t want, nor do I need, to have that home page open up. I find it annoying. That’s why I have tabs I keep open. Please…fix this so there’s a way to disable it to provide an even better and more customizable user experience.

Works perfectly. I really enjoy Firefox works just as good as chrome if not better.

1Password extension. The main reason why I use Firefox for iOS is the 1Password extension. Is it possible to re-enable it. It has not been available since the update to version 9.

Version 40 is Broken. Hangs a immediately, or within a couple seconds after launch.

When your right to privacy matters. Sure, I could use another big name browser, but Firefox works 100% just as well while also respecting my privacy, which I personally believe matters. Other browsers are bascially tools for companies to collect data on us, to sell advertising. Mozilla Foundation (makers of Firefox) isn’t about that. Plus, the handy security and privacy plugins (incl. VPN) and full synchronization features to keep everything working seamlessly between all my devices is fantastic.

No longer advocating for a free and open web.. Mozilla came out and said we need more than “deplatforming” therefore directly coming out against the free and open web and advocating for censorship. Free and Open exchange of ideas is the only way to solve real problems. Will not ever use a mozilla product again.

Keeps Crashing after Sept. 7/2017 update. Keeps crashing every few minutes. Considering my internet sucks and every time it crashes I have to wait for the page to reload, wait several times while scrolling down to where I left off for the page to continue loading is very annoying. I just get to where I left off and it crashes again! It's getting to the point where I'll just switch to Safari which I hate till a fix comes.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Love it. But slow launch. Love it but takes 20 seconds to launch and sometimes even forget what I opened it to search for. Other times, I’ll end up typing in the search bar once it does load, realizing later that I replaced a previously open tab with the new session... and this is the main problem. As the app opens, cannot please show as soon as it BEGINS to launch, that their is already a webpage populated in the url, and/or a screenshot of the page it was on when last closed or exited from... or even just open on a new we page either when the app is relaunched after closed, as well as when it is just left running in the background. Otherwise, I’ll always just open safari because it already does all of the things above... quick and I’m sure to never replace a previous session.

User Experience Fell Off a Cliff. Let's be honest, Firefox was never an amazing experience in iOS, but Mozilla does not swim with the Surveillance Capitalism sharks to any extent that you can't easily disable. It offered a few creature comforts that ended out Safari, so I was content with this trusty tortoise because it got the job done. Last two releases saw the end of that. Still to bug of opening a useless new tab every time I switch out of the app, wait a while, then open it again, which has been an issue since the spring. But now the crashes, oh the crashes. And the flawed tab recovery modal dialog that appears *behind* my keyboard and therefore poses a question I can't answer. Guess it's force quit and kiss those open tabs goodbye. Mozilla, it's been a decent run, but I'm moving on. Please get your house in order (charging me for your product would be a good start) and I'll certainly consider coming back.

Bookmarks Aren’t Sortable. I really like Firefox for desktop, but the single biggest problem I have on mobile is that I cannot manage bookmarks on mobile. All I can do is add bookmark, and it goes into the mobile bookmarks feature. It’s extremely inconvenient to have to sort a thousand bookmarks a month after the fact on desktop, and so I usually don’t and just let the bookmarks accumulate on my mobile devices. Please please please fix this. It would help so much to save a bookmark to a chosen folder and to be able to make folders and such like that on mobile. Version 108 is significantly more performant on mobile than recent previous versions, this may be related to the homepage bugfix. This is very much appreciated, I have been experiencing poor performance recently.

Bookmark Sync is Asinine. So the major upside to having the same browser on both desktop and mobile is sync. It’s supposed to feel the same, yet nothing feels synced with Firefox mobile and Firefox on the desktop. They have separate bookmarks for crying out loud. Yeah, you can access the bookmarks from mobile, but I don’t want them buried in yet another sub-menu. MAKE THEM THE SAME. I don’t get why you would intentionally split them in the first place, let alone not have an option to keep them merged. Combine that with the lack of features as compared to safari, and add in the fact that it’s just running a safari web view and there is little to no reason to use Firefox on iPad OR Mac if you use both. You won’t get the sync and interoperability like you do with Safari, and the sync is just stupid or essentially non existent with the Windows version. Still, whatever you do, don’t use a chromium browser.

Revised review: WONDERFUL!. Revised review: Thank you Firefox for listening to loyal users! Finally! Thank you for full bookmark editing and sync. Also, thank you for the ability to delete ALL history. Now fix the Reading List sync and add the ability to FULLY TURN OFF history and the app will be perfect! ————————- Old review: NEEDS FULL BOOKMARKS ORGANIZATION: What is the point of sync if I can’t FULLY organize my bookmarks? Why, in this day of using MANY types of devices do you insist on treating my bookmarks as separate things? They are all just bookmarks! Let me organize them exactly the same on all devices. NEEDS READING LIST SYNC: Why do reading lists not sync across devices? People would like to add an article on iPhone, then access reading list article on their Mac. What is the point of sync if nothing actually syncs? PRIVACY: Why can’t I set the browser to not save history? Why can’t I clear history easily more than one day back without diving into settings? Also why can’t I turn off the top sites? Having sites I visit very large on the screen when I open the app for all to see is not very private. I’m confused as to why a company that promotes their privacy and sync features does not do a very good job at implementing either.

Please Fix. Firefox has been my go-to browser for years both on mobile and desktop. I would love to give it 5 stars, but can’t. The mobile browser has an extremely irritating bug that I hope the developer team can address. I have Firefox manually be in dark mode all the time, I find the light mode to be too bright. It constantly is resetting itself to light mode. I’ll check the settings and it will still be toggled to dark mode. I have to tell it to use the system setting before I’m then able to get to manually back to dark mode. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, but nothing works. I look eagerly for updates to the app in the hope that it will have been addressed, but nothing. I’ve had to switch to Edge for now until this gets fixed.

Every update brings new frustrations. While I am an avid user of desktop Firefox, the mobile experience leaves much to be desired. A while ago, google used to open up with larger text sizes, but after an update, this was changed, and the text became tiny. I put up with it because it wasn’t too difficult to just zoom in every time, but it became a mild annoyance. More recently, after yet another update, they introduced a bug where old tabs sometimes “forgot” the website they were accessing and turned into home page tabs. Finally, around a week ago, the app began freezing randomly, with the only fix being to restart the app, which also doesn’t remember which tab you were looking at and places you onto the first one. I really hope some of these bugs can be fixed soon as I really want to use Firefox, but as it stands, I’m probably going to have to make the switch.

Becoming more and more frustrating to use.. I really loved Firefox but ever since I updated to iOS 15 and the last couple app updates, I've become really frustrated by this app. First off: pull down to refresh. I hate this feature. It was why I stopped using chrome on my phone. I don't need to accidentally refresh the page every time I scroll to the top of the page when I'm trying to read it, or when I'm trying to double check my form entries before I submit a form. I wish there was an option to turn this off. Forced "Firefox home": the middle button in the bottom toolbar used to be the refresh button. Now it is a home button. A home button to what? I never use the Firefox home. It's just useless. Difficult multi-tasking: if I jump over to another app and come back to Firefox, it seems like Firefox forgets what I was doing and immediately opens a new tab showing "Firefox home" which autofocuses on the search bar and makes the keyboard appear. This is so annoying. This means I have to un-focus out of search then click on the tabs button in the bottom toolbar and then find the tab I was just looking at. But sometimes that tab disappears because it got taken over by Firefox Home and there is no way to go back. It's a really awful experience now, but I will try to stick with it because I want the underdog to win. But it's not looking good.

Doesn’t really clear history, or data when closing…. Fire fox doesn’t actually, at least on an Apple 12, clear the history, or any of the website or personal data when you close the app. It creates real issues if you’re trying to log out of some thing and start a fresh. It also creates issues when you go in and clear history, web data, and personal data when you’re having issues signing into a website and find that it is still retaining your information. You can clear and clear, but it never goes away. Additionally, I don’t want to be a sheep following the group or what some business wants me to absorb. I want to make up my own mind by making my own decisions based on research of free and open responses to a search. So I do not like being presented with narrowed down responses, based on my location or anything else. Again, I don’t want to be a sheep following everyone else off a cliff.

Bookmark feature not working. Longtime Firefox user. The mobile bookmark feature has a frustrating UI experience. Bookmarks get saved to Mobile bookmarks even though my bookmarks are synched across devices. It is near impossible to save the bookmarks to where my desktop (toolbar/sub categories) bookmarks are. The save button seems to appear/disappear at random. Why give mobile its own category in a different root level anyway? Do people not want all their bookmarks in the same place? Also, several updates ago, bookmarks were accessible directly from the browser homepage. Now, the following unnecessary steps are needed to access bookmarks from the mobile home page. Hamburger button => Bookmarks => brings you to MOBILE bookmarks page => THEN Desktop Bookmarks page => Bookmark Toolbar page => then finally where I want to be.

Good but no extensions. I know this is probably Apple’s fault but it is extremely irritating that I can’t install extensions for iOS Firefox. At the very least you could build-in popular extension functionality like language translation like other browsers on iOS have! Besides that, this is by far the best browser I’ve used on all platforms. It is platform agnostic and everything syncs across macOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux. Privacy is important. I stopped using Chrome and Google search in 2020 because I should be able to browse and communicate with the world without my activity being sold to advertisers. The last straw was when I searched for a friend’s cancer diagnosis and almost immediately started seeing ads for cancer drugs and medical supplies everywhere.

Long time user really disappointed with state of ios version. This app has really gone down hill, but two major problems with tabs and one major privacy issue. Tabs will sometimes never reload and they become a blank page, so the tab becomes lost. On top of that I have been experiencing total loss of open tabs. When i reopen the app I dont know if my open tabs are still going to be there. As far as privacy goes, there is a feature that is impossible to turn off on the app. The “firefox suggest” feature recommends websites based on your data and it will show websites you accessed while in private browsing. This is ridiculous and totally defeats the point of private browsing. Why is firefox even collecting website data while in private browsing? It even still shows suggestions after clearing all history and website data. Looks like Im going to have to ditch firefox for now/for good. Such a bummer after using a great browser for so long.

Can’t see time, WiFi strength, or battery status. Firefox, Your app is very useful. I use the incognito mode and bookmarks all the time. I also love the way you organize my tabs but your app does have something that may eventually make me turn to a different browser. unfortunately, it is very inconvenient to use because if ever I am curious about what time it is, or if I’m wondering if I’m connected to WiFi, I have to either exit your app or open the Notification Center just to figure it out. The reason why I have to do these other steps is because your app makes it so that the information on the top of the screen are blended in to your app. If you could please find a way to make the background stick out from the bottom of the screen then this would be a great improvement in overall convenience. You could maybe make the font of the information black so it would not blend in to your app’s background or you could just make the top part of the screen black so the font wouldn’t have to be changed at all. I really do enjoy using this app and I would not want to switch to any other app. Please make this improvement so that I may stay a loyal patron of your app. Thanks for your time and I look forward to any improvements you make in the future! Best Wishes, Ryan Garcia

I want to love it. I downloaded Fire Fox and have always been a big fan (especially as an avid Linux user). My gripe is on iPad, I’m having issues playing videos in full screen on some websites and, even a bigger issue, it randomly opens tabs. It happens on an action (clicking a link, hitting CMD+T opens a second tab. Sometimes I will type into the top bar to search something and when I hit return, it will open a new tab and search there, leaving me on the blank page. Also, not sure if possible, but wish Fire Fox would let me download in the background like Safari (I know Apple can be pretty difficult to navigate around this kind of freedom). If these could get fixed, then an easy five stars.

Sync doesn't work after phone upgrade. Great app, my main browser in iOS. Can't solve the sync issue though: I've switched from 6s to Xs using iCloud backup and restore, and now it fails to sync. It doesn't show other devices' tabs, and the phone is not showing on other devices as well. The last sync date (in settings) is the last day I used my previous phone. I tried to turn sync off and back on (leads to app crash sometimes), log off and back on to my Firefox account. Obviously, the phone restart. Nothing. I can't delete the app to reinstall because I will lose all my open tabs and history since the last successful sync (more than a month ago) - I tried it on the other device, and without sync on the app reinstallation leads to an empty history and no open tabs. I don't know what else to do beyond hoping for a fix in the new versions. Meanwhile, I really miss sync functionally on iPhone.

What’s happening to my searches?. Not sure what update this started in, but recently when I use the arrow keys to go back to my original search (usually Google) it’s gone and the default page with no searches shows up. I have to go to History to get back to my search or renter the search text. Also around the same update time my saved tab got reset to the default instead of the page I was last on. I have to click on a button in the page to take me back to the previous page. Or even more confusing it gives me a new tab with the default page showing Pocket and buttons to other pages Firefox thinks I’d be interested in. NO. I’m interested in the page I saved my tab to. If I want a new tab I click on the add button. I’ve been using Firefox since the Mozilla days and been happy with it. I’m starting to think unhappily now. Please stop anticipating what I want. You are wrong most of the time.

Tried on iPhone 5 & XS. I really love Firefox on my Mac. Much better than Safari. However, I installed this new iPhone version and then found myself trying to like it, trying to hard. I found it installed ok and the interface was easy to understand. It was fast too. I deleted the application for the following reasons: 1. The homepage is full of JUNK! You can turn off some of it but not all. OMG, I just need a search bar, that’s it. No library or pocket stuff you think I need. Worst then safari! 2. I close the application and although my web page is supposed and is set to delete all history, when it’s reopened it’s still there. 3. No instant way to delete all history as in other browsers. 4. Not a simple interface-confusing. 5. Seems this is to much stuff and silly settings that don’t seem to work and Firefox Focus is to little. You missed! Update: Gotten worse! Seems it now saves visited pages to “Shortcuts!” So much for privacy. Your deleted!

App freezing. Now all open tabs are gone and. Not in recently closed.. Just what the title says. I have many open tabs on my phone and laptop. I had adhd. This is how I work. 95% of the time I bookmark what I open, but not always. Today, the app obviously crashed without my knowing it because an hour ago I was using it and all my tabs were there. A few minutes all my tabs were gone. Nothing in previously opened. No way to restore them other than going to each bookmark and opening each one individually. Went on the help menu. There’s a dude named Paul who basically has us doing his work for him. He’s telling us where to go to get the crash log files and where to upload them for him. But this won’t do anything for those of us who this has happened to in a real-world, practical, actionable, appreciable way. It just gives Paul data to figure out what the issue is so he can fix it in the future. Because I guess doing his job is too hard for him to do by himself. (Why do I say this? Because some people have downloaded these logs and uploaded them to Git… whatever and been told “thanks, we can’t fix YOUR problem but this helps us figure out what the issue is. Thanks for taking a couple of hours to sign up for these services and do the legwork for us”) Until today I said I much preferred Firefox to google. Ooops. Guess I’m changing my tune. And default browser.

Support companies like Mozilla that prioritize privacy. I use Firefox as my main browser on all my devices because they have a long history prioritizing user privacy. The interface of the iOS app is good but could use some streamlining. The first improvement I would request is to add an easily accessible button to switch between Standard and Strict modes for Tracking Protection. I like to keep it set on Strict, but I find that I have to regularly switch to Standard for some sites so they work properly. As it stands currently, I have to hunt through several different menus to accomplish this. It would be really nice to just have a button on the address or navigation bar. Or something along those lines. Thanks for everything you do Mozilla. Please keep focused on privacy.

Goto browser for improved security and privacy.. I switched to using this app as my default browser several years ago and never looked back. It’s built in enhanced tracking protection, along with third party add-on’s like ADP and other device and profile hardening steps, have dramatically lowered online security concerns. That user privacy is a founding premise of Firefox makes its priorities clear. With the exception of a few poorly managed web sites that don’t play nice with non-commercial browsers, I have little use of other commercial browsers that are built to track and share my every click and search request with every advertising and commercial entity on the planet.

Firefox is my favorite by far.. I’ve been using Firefox on all of my devices for decades. It’s the only browser I use. It gets third party support for lots of useful plugins . It’s VERY customizable. Mine is set up perfectly now, since I’ve been using it for so long. It’s quick to adopt all the latest features, too. The only thing I can’t rave about is the minor slow-down when you have more than a hundred tabs open at once. I’ve had a lot more than that open a few times. By the time it finally gets sluggish, I just close all tabs and start fresh. If I realize I still needed a page that I just closed, I can get it back by finding it in the recently closed pages list!

Instantly Crashes it's started.. I'm running the latest version of Firefox -- it is auto-updated. For about two weeks, the usually reliable Firefox, which I've been using for what feels like a multitude of years, now won't stay up even a little bit of time. It instantly crashes, no matter how many times I try. I have tried everything that I can think of to get it to work. I am now at a loss of what to do about it. I have had to go back to (ugh!) Safari. Please do something about this right away. I have a great deal of bookmarks set in it that I depend upon, with a lot of irons in the fire and those bookmarks in conjunction with all of my open tabs maintain the state of those projects. If those bookmarks and tabs were written into human-readable files that are in a user-accessible place in the file system, I could manually reproduce them in any browser. Thanks a lot, Firefox-on-iPhone maintainers. Please help. Please fix Firefox.

Firefox used to be my default….. Who in their right minds not only drafted up the latest update but then approved it?! Moving the home button and refresh button was a bad idea and they need to go back where they were before the update. Every time I open the app, a new tab appears which is even worse than moving the home and refresh buttons. This should be addressed prior to moving the home and refresh buttons back. Most importantly, fix the stupid app so it doesn’t crash every time I open a new link, old link, refresh the page, look over at my phone, look out the window, eat a taco, close the stupid new tab that opens every time I open the app, etc. what were you people thinking? Going back to more reliable (barely) Chrome or Safari until you sort the error of your ways and demote the people that dreamed up this dumpster fire of an update and the people that approved said dumpster fire.

UI Update is Bad. I wanted to give the update a chance and I have. I do not like the change to the UI. It neither feels good nor looks good. The keyboard when opening new tabs is more annoying than useful, especially when I opened that new tab because I wanted to reopen an accidentally closed tab. Almost every UI change I just have to ask why? Why ruin something that was both good and functional? If I could go back to the previous version, I would because this one really isn’t good or great. About the only reason I use this browser is that Safari started messing with my tab order and chrome as a really stupid “close all” button that is easy to accidentally press and one of the shortest “undo” timings to fix the issue. So, the app is better than the alternatives but made distinctly worse by recent changes…So, falling in line with every other browser I’ve had to use.

Struggling and Frustrated. I switched to Firefox recently, first as a web browser with ad block extensions (basic stuff), then added the phone app and synced them. My big frustrations right now: 1) it’s a zoo of ads on the app, like I never ever encountered on DuckDuckGo or Safari, just a waking nightmare. I’m sure there’s a way to remedy this, but I haven’t figured it out yet— and I’m honestly surprised and disappointed that this is perhaps just the default. 2) more importantly, I can seemingly change anything I want in settings, EXCEPT data management. I can turn off cookies for example, by turning the blue tab button off and then go back to the main menu… but the second I go back to check, it’s on again. It’s the same with every single “data management” option, including the one that lets me turn off browser history— ever single one, except for the last, which is off by default. Of course, history and website data can be deleted manually, but cookies, cache, etc cannot be turned off. If anyone knows the answers, I’d appreciate them. 3⭐️s (stars) for extreme frustration, slower browser (which I would happily trade for more privacy), and for data management settings that will not stay off when I look away.

Home screen changes are very bad. The replacement of the reload button with the home button in the bottom bar was a really bad change. The reload button, which I use all the time, is in the upper half of the screen and completely inaccessible when I’m using the phone one-handed. Pull to refresh is a welcome improvement but I can’t use it if I’m scrolled halfway down the page and want to refresh. Who is giving you feedback that they need more access to the Home Screen? And that they don’t need to reload the page? I find it extremely hard to believe these changes were a result of user feedback. Is there some Pocket usage metric you’re optimizing for? One extra star for being one of the few lone holdouts of good browsers against the onslaught of Google but I’ve been feeling discouraged lately because it seems so much like Mozilla has lost its way.

New update seems to have addressed the missing ‘reader view’. I just started using the latest version and it appears they fixed one of my biggest bugbears, the reader mode option not being consistently available on sites (the same sites worked perfectly well with reader mode in safari). I’d love even more parity with Safari, if Apple would let that happen. FF is my default browser on phone, ipad, and laptop, and I’ve been tempted to switch to safari on phone/ipad lately mainly because of the reader support (so much nicer on your eyeballs when you grab your phone in the middle of the night). But this may have stopped me! Improved LastPass integration (such as that now available in safari) would be a huge win too, if that were possible.

Crashing a lot. So the reason why I started using Firefox recently along with many others is privacy. It truly is great for this and I feel a lot safer using it; I feel that I get a lot less targeted ads on my other devices so that’s great. The one thing that causes me to give it 3/5 stars, especially because it happens so often, is crashing. It seems that it usually happens when I click a new link and for whatever reason the browser can’t handle it, and it seems I’m not the only one having this problem according to the reviews below mine. For me as well, this makes me use Safari more often (not chrome anymore because I’m tired of the extreme invasiveness). This defeats the purpose of me downloading this app in the first place because Safari and Chrome both have smoother user experiences and faster load times; so really my point for using this app (privacy) is cancelled out by the fact that I’m often not using it because it’s crashing so often. I love firefox of course, but I do hope this problem gets fixed in an upcoming update. Until then I think I’ll use Safari and try to update my privacy settings or install some extensions to assist with that. I’ll keep checking back though. Thank you dev team!

Love the privacy, can’t live with the jan. I really appreciate Firefox’s commitment to privacy, but I just can’t keep using this browser. The UI is continually janky and buggy. The app hangs for many seconds at random times, especially when closing tabs. There’s a 50/50 chance when you close a tab, a different tab will close. Rearranging tabs is a nightmare. And the nail in the coffin is the new “Inactive Tabs” UI. When you open it, the open button turns into a similar-looking button that you might expect would close the UI but instead is a “delete all tabs” button. If you tap it, there is no confirmation dialog, and this app’s anemic “recently closed” list will not help you reopen them. There is no way to close the inactive tabs UI that I have found. The browser’s been carrying many of these bugs for years and I’m done waiting for it to get better.

Beat browser for desktop, but could be improved for ios. The best browser for desktop, that can do so much more, than other browsers. But for iso, I couldn’t switch fully to have it as my main browser and safari is still the main browser. The icon placement could be changed to match that of Safari, since most users are used to that. In addition it might need more optimization to make it faster on iPhone. Currently safari feels much faster making the switch a difficult thing to do. I would love to see this as my main browser on the phone as well, since it has given me the best user experience and respects customers’ privacy.

Reasonable browser, but missing features. Works reasonably well for browsing, but it can be slow in loading pages. There is no way to download a pdf to your phone. (Online firefox documentation mentions a download button which simply does not exist. Elsewhere it suggests the button is hidden in customization, but the is no Customize item in Firefox for IPhone.). Bookmarks are poorly integrated into the browser as creating a bookmark is completely separated from locating a bookmark. An item called Send to Device requires signing up for and signing into Firefox Sync, which seems to defeat the purpose of sending something to device. (I guess we are supposed to understand that as “to a device” instead of “to the device”.) In short: fine but slow for basic browsing or reading Facebook, but other features are poorly integrated or unimplemented.

Every update sends an annoying “get started pop up”. I have been a fire fox only use her for many years, and I use it on my iPhone, but in the last few months, literally every update interrupts me with a big banner that says “get started” or some such other pitch to get me to install the browser elsewhere. I already have it installed on everything, I am already logged in everywhere. When I launch Firefox, I don’t need it to have a big full screen pop-up that interrupts what I’m doing to tell me to install it elsewhere. Please stop. I cannot the only person annoyed by this. i’m like it’s really annoying to start typing in the browser bar and get hit with a pop up that covers the whole screen. My girlfriend STOPPED USING FIREFOX for this reason because she thought it was broken.

Mozilla Firefox at it again !!. Firefox always was the best browser made! Now it’s even better ! These are the cutting edge people & now it even fights for your rights on the web , phisically & in principal & legislation !! Current news coming in about the web is there as well , can you believe this !! ??? Well, for us , always have hads’s, we know what’s going on and for today’s world ???? It’s just a must have , you idiot , what were you thinking 😟☺️, app that you will simply kick yourself for missing the boat !!! This is more than a browser fellas , it’s a gall’ dern’ organization working on your side of use & abuse that the web can , nowadays , do too you , if it can !! Your best defense is this puppy senior !! Take a look, & read a little for once, you’ll be impressed I guarentee !

Reset all my settings. The latest update has reset allllllll my personal settings. It also deactivates tabs i use every day. If i quit the browser and restart, it goes to the very top tab and forgets the tab i was last using. To the developer. Please read the review carefully. I did not say that the browser opens a new tab. I’m saying your “Last tab” feature is no longer working. I was already using the last tab feature. I switched “last tab” off and then back on again and theres no change. If you quit firefox and then open it again, it does not open in my last used tab. It opens to the very first tab at the top of my tab list. Also, it is not automatically refreshing web pages i’ve been using anymore. The previous version always refreshed the page when i went to a different tab i already had opened. Now the tab shows the old data on that web page and i have to refresh manually.

Shifted all my clients to the Fox….. Fantastic software, better bug association with your anti-whatevers. Yes, there are sites which do not function accurately based on the script of these sites. Have written code(s) since 1969. Microsoft and other schools push their web site creator students to build for Edge End users. Sad, very sad. And you all wonder why you have those numerous pesky bugs, you know worms and other tasking infiltrators. My company builds our client’s sites then verify they work completely, no matter the complexities, using any browser including versions of browsers and/or operating systems. It may take a few additional hours, but you have super satisfied clients and their visitors. And in business, “this means more visitors and more profits”!

Bookmarks system is unintuitive. I’ve recently switched over to Firefox because Chrome’s become an slow pile of trash. Firefox is better performance wise, but is especially lacking in its bookmark system (in terms of convenience). Trying to edit bookmarks is tedious as you have to press the edit button then tap the bookmark, whereas Chrome allows you to just simply tap and hold the bookmark to edit. When you add a bookmark, you can’t immediately edit its information or even specify what folder you want the bookmark to be in (You have to open up the bookmark menu, find the bookmark, then edit from there). Chrome allows much better convenience with a small popup that asks if you want to edit the bookmark’s information every time you add a new bookmark. Bookmark syncing is also extremely delayed. Some of my complaints also apply to the desktop version.

new update isn't for me. The new updates small changes are subtely annoying to me. Replacing the refresh button with the home button made sense, but I wish there was an option to switch it. I am constantly hitting it to refresh a page only to be sent to my home page with no way of easily returning to the page I was just on. I don't understand the opening a new tab every time you launch the app, too. I like to keep my open tabs to a minimum, and this update is a bit annoying with having to always close previous tabs. The biggest thing, however, is that the app is crashing much more frequently for me. It's 50/50 whether clicking a link will crash the app or not. I'm sure the update was useful for a good amount of people; but it made web browsing on my phone just the tiniest bit less user friendly, which is irritating but not earth shattering.

Very Good, Not Perfect on iPad. Overall I very much like FireFox, using it on Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu, and iOS. However, I have two complaints regarding the iOS implementation, especially on iPadOS: - The behavior for the hiding the tab/URL section of the browser is not consistent between touch use and trackpad use on an iPad. If I scroll up on through the touchscreen the URL box reveals itself, but this does not occur with the a trackpad. Very frustrating, consistency would be a huge improvement. - To view my bookmarks toolbar (the bookmarks I actually use) I have to click twice, once to open bookmarks and once to select which category of bookmarks I want. Why can’t I set the bookmarks displayed by default? Frankly I don’t care about recent bookmarks, let me at least choose to display my bookmark toolbar by default.

Love Firefox but…. I love Firefox and all the features it offers. One thing that bothers me about the mobile app is that searching in the website/search bar area brings up my website history. I can turn off search suggestions in my settings, but it just turns off the generic search suggestions. I don’t mind those, what I do care about are the search suggestions that come from my search history or browsing history. I don’t want any of that to come up. I want my search to auto fill/suggest things as if it has no prior data and is just operating as a fresh search bar. Would love to see this change. I love how my search bar functions on desktop, just waiting for the mobile app to do the same.

Much better + suggestions. If you’re looking for a chrome replacement that works very well and is available on many platforms, this is it! I use Firefox on iOS, macOS, Windows 10, and Linux. Please do not put focus in the address bar when you add a new tab. That way the menu for accessing bookmarks is still visible like safari. “New tab puts focus on address bar” could be an option. I’d prefer it be the default. The option for the address bar at the bottom is great! I realize the current implementation wants you to create a new tab when accessing a bookmark but you still have to close the bookmark menu AND touch the switch button at the bottom. this is just not as easy as not putting focus on the new tab and then picking your bookmark

Update ruined UX with one change. A very recent update has for some reason replaced the refresh button with a home button which is both useless and in my case harmful because it has caused untold frustration due to muscle memory. In addition to this being a frustration it is compounded by the fact that the refresh button is now only available embedded inside of the address bar *but* it isn’t always present in the address bar! I don’t know exactly what the sequence of events or incantation is to make it appear which is incredibly annoying. In addition to that the refresh button when it does appear is directly juxtaposed to the reader mode button and the touch surface between them seems blurred because I have hit reader mode more often than the refresh button when my only goal is to refresh the page. In addition to that the home page functionality is useless and never called upon which makes this change even more annoying. Overall I feel like there was almost zero UX consideration for this change and might be a deal breaker for my personal use. I prefer the Firefox ecosystem and donate to Mozilla and outside of this simple but insanely aggravating change they generally do the right thing with respect to applications and privacy. I hope this change is reverted!

A good app but could use better information choices.. I am really liking the privacy features but and want to make this my main browser but the god awful dark mode is implemented horribly. It not only changes the interface but inverts the website colors. So a website that is default dark becomes light. It completely defeats the purpose of dark mode. You either need to only change the system to dark and ignore the website colors or give us an option on a per site basis. Will not be using until that is fixed. Edit: so there are two settings for dark mode. There is the one in the settings which just changes the app but doesn't touch the websites. And one in the menu that affects the websites and app depending on the other setting. Would help to have this better explained. Otherwise the app is great.

101.0 is broken (see update). ***** UPDATE - I just deleted and reinstalled 101.0 fresh. ISSUE IS FIXED ***** I just updated my Firefox on the latest iOS to version 101.0. Now when I load webpages using the Firefox browser, I can see no image files. I followed the suggestions in a Firefox authored help file I found online that sounded promising. It didn’t do anything. Honestly, although I’m a big fan of the Firefox organization, I have to say that this release is half baked. I can’t imagine that a reasonable number of beta testers would not have discovered this problem immediately. I removed Version 101.0 and I’m about to reinstall it fresh. I’m crossing my fingers. I don’t want to have only one choice of browser on my iPhone. I hope this refresh solves the problem, and if not that the Firefox team is busy trying to get full functionality restored to this latest release. ***** UPDATE - I just deleted and reinstalled 101.0 fresh. ISSUE IS FIXED *****

Very buggy, after many releases still no fixes.. As much as I love the team at Mozilla, their testing team just isn’t doing good. In terms of mobile devices they do not address issues even after many releases. Many times the entire app will be unresponsive to any gestures, making you force quit the application and restarting it. Sometimes you also have to close the tab even after a restart. Second, is their copy and paste... you must hold longer than apples normal settings to even copy a link. Normally you could click once on the address bar to select the entire thing but Mozilla thinks we want to edit the middle of our link when we click on it. Another is pop up light boxes are very buggy and become unresponsive. As you’re adding new features please also keep in mind to fix your bugs. I am no longer using this browser after 3 months of skeptical transition to a new browser but it seems I’ll be heading back to chrome for now. Sorry Team @ Mozilla.

Privacy Advocates?. During your daily use of your device, you deal with a wide variety of apps, all wanting unique and complex passwords. So you have to get a password manager and copy and paste the password so you don’t make mistakes. If it’s a shopping app, you might very well paste your credit card number. Whatever you last copied onto the device clipboard stays on the clipboard until you replace it with something else. The Firefox app, while claiming to protect our privacy, automatically reads your device clipboard upon opening without your permission. There is no possible excuse that can be given for this and it is a major violation of trust. The fact that iOS 14 now tells the user of these actions has been a major topic of discussion ever since the first Beta version came out, so they have had all kinds of time to police themselves. Until they admit the problem and fix it, copy any harmless word onto the clipboard so that you don’t pass on any sensitive information.

Turned into crap…. Used to be okay, but now it’s like there’s little to no effort. It’s super buggy all the time. Saved passwords don’t transfer over to the desktop, Face ID MUST be used for the passwords, or your stuck in it forever - there’s no CANCEL option to back out of it. Not to mention the search function on the passwords hardly works. I have to scroll for long periods sometimes and try to find the exact password I want, because it does not come up in the search results. Lately all the colors are inverted on all the websites. Videos, same thing… Desktop version is great! This is not… It’s like they don’t use it themselves, or there’s no oversight going on. Have any of the developers used this app for the iPad lately? Do you not see how buggy it is?! Update! It’s gotten worse. Does not good to submit bug reports, nothing gets fixed. Been mentioning the same issues for years. Makes no difference.

Please remove pull down to refresh. Please get rid of this, it’s not a feature, it’s a flaw. If I want to refresh, I will hit the refresh button. When you have typed anything into a form on a webpage and scroll back up to the top, it refreshes the page and you lose everything you typed into the form. This has happened to me so many times. Super frustrating! Or, I’m just trying to scroll back up to the top of a page and it starts reloading and I have to wait for it to finish before I can see it again. A waste of data! Please make it an option in settings to disable this over scroll/rubbeband thing, and also add a popup that asks if you are sure you want to leave the page / refresh if you have typed anything into a webpage, to prevent loss and frustration.

New update is terrible.. The new update makes it so that Firefox opens the home page every time I relaunch the app. This might be good for some people, but terrible for me because I go through my older tabs still. Now, I have to constantly rectilinear every time I open the app. I have hundreds if not a thousand open so sometimes this actually causes the app to crash. And when it crashes and I relaunch, it of course goes to back to the new tab. This basically means I can’t ever return to most of my tabs because of this update. You lost a user. I’ll use your app again, if you make this a setting that I can turn off. That’s all I ask please because I do love this browser but this update made me have a mental breakdown and I just can’t deal with the frustration of this app until I can turn this off. That’s all i want please, is to have a choice to turn it off. I beg of you, honestly, this update has completely ruined Firefox for me. But until then, I just can’t use your app.

Broken Autofill. I still *like* and prefer Firefox as my browser, but on iPad the password autofill feature is completely disabled. You can access your Passwords in the app in order to find them yourself and then manually copy/paste them in. The app acts and looks like it has/should have autofill. I’m even pretty sure it’s worked before, but it hasn’t in months. There’s no way to get autofill working. It’s insane. I’ve designated Firefox as my autofill app in iPad settings and reinstalled, but Firefox on iPad simply does not perform any password autofill function. I’ve been online longer than I wanted to be just to find out lots of people are having this problem, and I can’t find a solution anywhere. If there’s some secret handshake I need to perform and it’ll suddenly work, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Until then, hopefully either Mozilla will get its act together around this or Apple will stop hamstringing products it allows in its App Store so they silently fail. Whomever the culprit is, I don’t really care. It literally has me weighing the greater value loss between whether I should give up on Mozilla as my browser or if I should just forget about my iPad as a productivity device and travel with my laptop instead from now on. What a stupid thing to have to think about.

Worse than before. every next version gets something worse than the previous one this time the default page when you open Firefox — why, why when i open newly Firefox it opens for me new home page and offers me to type. and, i cannot change that :( I want to go to the web page I have left/closed Firefox, that’s how it used to be and was for ages and was very very functional!!! the new default behavior is totally inconvenient And now the last update as of April 2022 HORRIBLE!! switching tab leads to home page with favorites and only then loads the page. Not only that, but cursor stays in the address bar ready to type for search. And of course the keyboard is in the way. One needs to hit the back arrow to see the web address if the loaded page. Now the blank page is valid page and when load the desired web address it becomes second visited page.
