Firefox vir iOS Community Forum

Firefox is my favorite Browser because I have been able to customize it tremendously so that things do not buzz and blink and pop up at me, nothing flashes, nothing makes noise unless I deliberately permit it. today I caught Firefox for mobile permitting a video to auto play. I opened a webpage to read an article and suddenly realized that my podcast (from a different app) had been interrupted and now sound was coming from this page (clear from the content of the sound). I literally had not even seen the video in question as part of the page because I had not scrolled down far enough to where it was playing already. And when I had the lock screen on, clicking pause did not stop the video. So Video was playing without my permission, and was ignoring the usual rules of iOS.

I certainly had not clicked on the video or seen any setting that allowed the website to autoplay videos.

And this is not the first time it has happened, but it is the first time that I am positive that I did not do anything to permit this behavior, and that it had to have been the browser automatically playing something on the page. I verified that the same website does not auto play video in Safari. This is a bug in Firefox Browser for iOS .... unless there is some new setting in an updated version of the browser that says 'please bombard me with autoplay at times" which by default was switched on in a recent update.

Device: [iPhone model, e.g., iPhone 14] iOS version: [e.g., 17.5] Firefox version: [Settings → About Firefox]

Problem (short): [One-line description]

Steps to reproduce: 1. [Step 1: e.g., Open YouTube] 2. [Step 2: e.g., Play a video full screen] 3. [Step 3: e.g., Video freezes after 20 seconds]

Expected result: [What should happen] Actual result: [What happens instead]

What I tried: [Restart app, reinstall, clear cache, etc.] Attachments: [Screenshot attached if available]

Since months now, since one of the updates ... the HOME Button is still missing. WHY?! That is one of the essentials for a browser. Need this. Read Update 145 will have it. Now we have 146... still not there. Please return the Home Button!

Getting my bookmarks back. I've tried twice using your iOS solution but apparently I didn't do it right and I still cannot access my old bookmarks. I detest Google and its monopolistic bent, so can't you fix my lost data problem? Is iOS the show stopper? I give a meager amount to Mozilla on a regular basis, or at least I think I do. Can you feel my pain? Can you assist?

When the syten Theme switches between darg and light mode, the keyboard color does not switch. Only when force-quitting the app the color is correct at next start.

Since my Apple iPad was updated to IOS 26.1 (yesterday), I must continually apply a hack anytime I use Firefox to open and read any website.

What happens is once said website is open (for example, a thread in a forum that I have used for years or perhaps a news story (on The Guardian or Globe and Mail)), if I leave that tab for any reason (such as copying a sentence to paste in another open tab), the tab I am going to forces that thread to scroll up to the top of the page…and then returning to the tab that I copied out of, the same thing, the open thread scrolls back up to the top.

I am running the latest software version for Firefox and Apple.

This phenomenon began immediately after I updated my Apple to 26.1 from (IIRC) 18.x.

Thank you
