I-Firefox ye-iOS Community Forum

This appears to be a problem that others have had (with no response). I'm posting it to let the Mozilla team know it continues to be a problem for some users.

Yesterday FF (whatever the latest version is running on an iPad Pro running iPadOS 15.7) crashed, and restarted with the usual "This is embarrassing..." message, and asked whether I want to restore all tabs. I hit yes, and it restarted with all tabs missing. Of course it then proceeded to erase all synced tabs the next time it connects to Mozilla's servers, so now all the tabs are gone.

Questions:

1. Is there a way to restore this to its previous state? As far as I can tell, the moment the mobile FF loses all its tabs and syncs them to the cloud, there's no easy way for the user to get the old tabs back.

2. Is it possible to have Sync set up so it doesn't erase all the tabs automatically? I mean, it should be clear that when this occurs after a crash, this may not be the desired behavior. At the very least, there should be an option to undo.

3. Is there a way to just "bookmark all tabs" on mobile FF? That way users can easily save the current state of their mobile browser without having to bookmark each tab individually. I understand this feature has been requested from time to time, and at some point saw a response from a Mozilla engineer saying it has been implemented but not released for UI reasons.

4. Can I download all my Firefox Sync data? Since Sync seems to write over previous state with no method for recovery, it cannot be relied upon as a backup. I would like to be able to make my own backups of my browser states to the extent I can.

Thanks! In principle I support open source and would like to continue using FF. If these usability / reliability issues can be resolved I think it would make at least a few FF users quite happy.

Hey, Since I've updated my ipad to the newest os (15.7) my Firefox got really slow and buggy. Often it simply crashes once it's loading a page. I am not be able to use my enpass password manager anymore too... It simply won't show the keyboard once I want to log into anything. A look in the reviews section of the app store shows me I am not alone.

What's going on? I am using Firefox on so many devices but not on my ipad it's just not usable anymore.

Thanks in advance for help .

On a previous version (don’t remember which one) I was able to add the URL search query of MetaGer as a custom search service. After having installed the last version (103.0), I tried to add the URL of Startpage but when I tap on button the app crashes completely and closes

hello, when i activate the synchronization between firefox ios 104.1 (iphone 7) and the browser 104.0.2 (windows 10), the ios app crashes at each start with 3 seconds.

Here is the brave search url, https://search.brave.com/search?q=%s. When i save it Firefox seems to crash and opens the home page on my ipad. I would like to use brave but not sure how to add it.

Also, can we use duckduckgo mail in FF?

For a while I kept getting that Firefox crashed after I opened the browser. I deleted it and uploaded the latest version added Adblock plus but I can’t see Adblock plus in my extensions for Firefox iOS.
