Some of you have been testing Ad Blocker with us over the last few weeks. Thanks for all of your feedback.

We’re now rolling it out globally in Firefox for iOS. 

It’s off by default. To turn it on, update to the latest version of Firefox, go to Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker, and toggle on.

A few things to know:

• It blocks many third-party ads and ad-related trackers before they load.
• Under the hood, it uses EasyList with Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker.
• It won’t block every ad. Ads served directly by the site you’re visiting will still appear.

We know a lot of you have been asking for better ad blocking on iOS for a long time. Firefox users on Desktop and Android already have great ad-blocking extensions to choose from. Now there’s also a built-in option on iOS.

Give it a try and tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see improved.

You can share feedback in this thread or on Mozilla Connect.

Seems like every new update i have to set up my home page back again, and again and again. Explain to me why this annoying widget came back to my homepage , and cannot get rid of them. I dont like having to much stuff there . If i wanna check the news, then i go and look for the news or whatever it is. But if dont care about it , theres no reason to shove it down my throat by force it on my homepage. How can i delete all this crap from my homepage ? I want it clean , just weather at top right corner ..like it was before. Disabling "widgets" does not do anything.

UPDATE : Just found out to disable stories you now have to go to general settings. Its really stupid cuz thats basically a "widget" , so why hidding the option on settings instead of...You know what, im done.

I have bad wrists, so I use an XBox adaptive controller while Steam is running for controlling my mouse cursor. It lets me use my feet instead of my hands for mouse controls. Starting today, Firefox randomly decided to start recognizing controller inputs, which is overruling Steam. The result is that the cursor has an obnoxiously slow acceleration when I use Firefox, and only accepts face buttons for clicking (I have shoulder button clicking set up for Steam because for SOME REASON it won't let me map face buttons to anything). I tried typing about:config and disabling everything related to gamepads, but that did nothing. How do I make Firefox stop recognizing my gamepad, or how to I change its settings to match what I have on Steam?

EDIT: Figured it out, see thread below

Recently I have been using PWAs one my MacOS and honestly, this has changed the way I browse the web. I like how they can run as their own sandboxed environments/window and I can quickly open them without needing any bookmarks or without ever opening the main browser client.

I tried to add some websites as PWA using Firefox, but to my surprise, Firefox has apparently no official PWA support on desktop.

Why is it that Chrome, Edge, Brave and Safari have great PWA support but Firefox doesn't? Will this ever change in the future?

Basically anything that loads initially like the video and the first few recommendations will load fine but comments and further recommendations or even further videos when clicking on a channel will keep loading infinitely. I can see the first few videos but whenever anything has to load again on the same page it will keep loading forever. Clearing cache, disabling ublock, and changing the networking http path did nothing to fix this issue. This issue has persisted for weeks at this point so even turning firefox on and off again doesnt do the trick. The issue does not replicate on other browsers and devices. I have absolutely no idea what to do at this point as nothing seems to work and I appear to be the only one on earth with this problem. Does anyone have more ideas?

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Russia and I’m having a weird issue with the built-in Firefox VPN. Up until recently, it worked flawlessly for everything, but now it seems completely broken.

The VPN still turns on and shows as connected, but absolutely nothing loads when it's active. This includes regular websites that work perfectly fine without a VPN. It just kills my connection completely.

I know it's not a general network issue on my end because I tested another VPN and it works perfectly fine.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is there a known workaround or a fix? I'd really prefer to get the Firefox VPN working again since it was so convenient and reliable before this problem started.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Update: Just to clarify, there were times in the past when it would fail to connect entirely (showing as "not connected" rather than blocking the internet), but it would always start working normally again after a while.

I don't like full-screen windows, and I keep some space on the left when I'm using the browser.

Problem is, Firefox 'doesn't like' my screen size, and if I make the window larger (close to the Taskbar, without snipping the window), it keeps forgetting the size when I re-open the browser.

As the figure show (it's the bottom-right part of my screen), the size Firefox tries to force on me would probably suite a 1920*1080 monitor, but not the 1920*1200 of my laptop (although it's a pretty standard size, now).

It doesn't happen on Linux, where Firefox remembers the window size well, but I've having this issue on Windows 11 for quite some time now.

Any thought? Solution?

Thanks.

Why is this (new) hover/active state of autocomplete popup items this ugly? It does not respect the border radius of its wrapper element, it has a thick border that you cannot find anywhere else in the browser, hover background color too dark (for my taste)... generally looking strange.

I wanted to change that Ctrl+Shift+B default option to just pressing Alt on the about:keyboard page, but it just says invalid if I try do to so. Is there a way to make that work? Not a big problem if that isn't possible though, just asking

When I hit the search menu I noticed this menu to appear in the touchbar, which it didn’t before. It would be actually so cool of them if they thought to add a new feature for the touchbar since it always gets ignored.

just updated today and the gap between my new tab button and minimize window is now gone so I can no longer move my windows unless i go to full size window then move it back to half window version, how can I get the gap back to be able to move my windows when im in split screen view?

I'm using tab groups which I know are in beta, but is there any way to (from a page already in your tab group) open a new tab and have it stay in the tab group? It kind of defeats the purpose when I'm on a research spree and I have to stop and put all the tabs I'm opening in the group, rather than having them just open there automatically.

as far as I recall, they used to be in-between weather and shortcuts. I can't find any mention of removing them in the update notes and I can't find any way to add them back in settings.

I'm on linux ubuntu and my firefox version is 154.0.1

My school site's bugging me about using something that's not Chrome 143 and I figured Firefox might be a nice change. I haven't figured out how to export all my data such as search history and bookmarks; as far as passwords go I have Bitwarden anyway. Additionally, I haven't seen a firefox extension for Adobe Acrobat specifically, which I need for signing documents. I don't mind taking a more long-winded way to get all my info over, I just don't know where to start with Helium specifically.

I'm trying to access my student application, however on firefox nightly it's throwing this error?

"https://account.student-finance.service.gov.uk/apex/funnelsslanding?language=en_GB has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox Nightly can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site."

This happens frequently, and it happens on both my devices. So I reckon its a Firefox Issue or YT issue?

Has anybody experienced this? All my icons are missing after upgrading to 155 on 2 different machines.

I created a Reddit account just to ask this because I couldn't find much answer about my question and even then, some were from years ago.

I ask this because I am not a tech savvy user or at least not enough to change a dozen things in the config, so I just use ubO and Enhanced Protection then had a friend tell me that my set up is nowhere near enough several times and they never explained to me why (Even when I asked) and just says I should use hardened instead of stock, whatever that means

I just use Firefox because I've heard good things about it

Every tim Firefox is updated to another major version I have to approve Windows firewall. Why is that? Has anyone found a solution for it not to trigger every time.
And yes, I have tried to add it to the firewall. New version update = new approval

Been using Firefox for a good 4 years now I believe and never had any problems until this year.

A few months after getting my current laptop anytime I searched for something, opening up a new page, YouTube, reddit, etc Firefox would go completely white, either for a few seconds or until I shook my cursor within the whiteness. At first this didn't happen too much, but now it's almost constant, and I'm a little afraid it might interfere with my work.

Additionally, this issue becomes worse whenever I open multiple PDF files. I open the first one, browser goes blank for a few seconds. Opon up the second, same thing happens, except now the first PDF is completely black and I can't have more than one open at a time.

I'm not sure what this is or what causes it, anything I've looked up hasn't really helped much, so I'd really be grateful if you guys could help me out.

note i randomly wrote this post on a whim, so if there is any grammatical/syntax (yes english also has syntax) issue, sorry.

over the course of the last 6 years, i have tried and experienced many browsers ( some of which are listed below ), but some how I have always, ended up back in team firefox. From the below list, the maximum about of time I have used another browser was edge (6 months) but other than that, still back in firefox.

list of browsers i have tried in no particular order: chrome, firefox, opera, opera gx, vivaldi, zen, waterfox, safari, helium, arc, gnome web, Konqueror, edge, brave

Has anything of this sort happen with any of you all, where you always ended up using firefox as your default browser even when you tried to change.

No browser comes close to how epic firefox is.
