Be great if bookmarks were directly accessible, and if could be saved on home screen. ### 3/5 — Critical iOS 26 Compatibility Issue – Websites Fail to Load *2026-09-08, version 155.1* Hello Firefox Support Team, I’m experiencing a critical compatibility issue with Firefox on my iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 26. Since updating to iOS 26, Firefox fails to load websites properly and becomes unresponsive or unusable. The issue occurs consistently. Please investigate Firefox’s compatibility with iOS 26 and provide a fix or update as soon as possible. Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max OS: iOS 26 Issue: Websites fail to load properly / browser becomes unusable Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. ### 3/5 — No adblocking feature available *2026-09-08, version 155.1* No adblocking feature available They keep hyping an article about toggling adblocking on Firefox on iOS. The toggle doesn’t show in my settings. ### 4/5 — Decent *2026-09-08, version 155.1* Missing some core features, like tab grouping and active download viewing ### 3/5 — The old UI was more functional *2026-09-08, version 155.1* It’s not bad, and the AI stuff might be useful, but it lags behind browsers like Beave and DuckDuckGo on privacy settings for cookies or wiping a session clean or requiring a passcode or biometric to use the app. It was also the only browser that didn’t let me import bookmarks. Only the option to sign in and sync with an account now seems to exist, whereas all others let you import bookmarks from other browsers The old UI made it seemless to switch between normal and private tabs, to use or add bookmarks, and to use the settings list in the bottom right to quickly adjust zoom, request a desktop site, copy or share links or to use the “find in page function” Very importantly, the settings let you block pop-up windows and block images entirely, though the latter didn’t always work The new UI introduced at some point this year got rid of all of the above, and so while I might still use the browser, I’ll definitely use it less. It doesn’t offer the convenience of peace of mind that the others do for a privacy conscious user ### 3/5 — Arrogant *2026-09-07, version 155.1* Does a lot things well but oblivious to user needs & impossible to control ### 4/5 — Good but annoying features *2026-09-07, version 155.1* Good browser, great at forcing sites into desktop mode - my main reason for using it over safari. Biggest annoyance is if you go to view all open tabs and push a tab slightly rather than opening that tab the browser closes it. There’s already a X to close an open tab, why add an additional feature? The amount of times I close a tab by mistake grrr! Please allow this annoying feature to be turned off! ### 4/5 — Bring Full Desktop Extensions Support to Mobile Browsers *2026-09-07, version 155.1* I am writing to formally request the full integration of desktop-grade extensions into Firefox for mobile devices (iOS/Android). Users today need the same robust productivity, privacy, and customization tools on their phones that they enjoy on their computers. Please bridge this gap and allow full extension support on mobile just like on desktop ### 4/5 — peak *2026-09-07, version 155.0* disable the summary feature but otherwise its the #1 browser in history ### 2/5 — Missing key features *2026-09-06, version 155.0* As much as I’d like to use this browser, it’s missing quite a few key features compared to other privacy focused browsers on the market. For example, it’s ridiculous that it still doesn’t have GPC signal enabled. Zipair’s website is still broken (it even works on your Firefox Focus, but not this version of Firefox, btw). Fix these two at the very least before I’d even consider coming back. ### 3/5 — Could you guys add the extensions? *2026-09-05, version 155.0* I have been using Firefox for a long time and I would like to use it on my new iPad but the only options for adblocker on the AppStore are Safari ones and my extensions for Firefox are not in the browser in this format. ### 4/5 — Beats the alternatives *2026-09-04, version 155.0* Needs some work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hackers *2026-09-09, version 155.1* Hackers ### 1/5 — Stop with the obnoxious pop ups asking me to review your app *2026-09-08, version 155.1* Just please stop it's every two friggin minutes ### 1/5 — Djhvduisng *2026-09-07, version 155.1* Nsbhjevgjrbdvgz ### 1/5 — Moteur de recherche *2026-09-07, version 155.1* Les paramètres des moteurs de recherche ne sont pas sauvegarder. Toutes les paramètres de confidentialités que l'on choisi devraient pouvoir être sauvegarder sans le cloud; ce qui n'est pas le cas en se moment. Nos données personnelles (notre localisation et les recherches) sont donc envoyé automatiquement par défaut aux entreprises. ### 1/5 — Ad blocking is a total miss *2026-09-04, version 155.0* Would really love to fall in love with Firefox again, but honestly the ad blocking and lack thereof makes it unusable. The advertisers do not care about my browsing experience and have made many sites unusable. Firefox is not helping at all with the problem. Blocking targeted ads is just not enough. So many sites are just straight up destroying this browsers experience. Developer response says the option is there - but it is not. Perhaps a future version? Add it and you have a five star beloved app. Instead of focusing on Google Lens and other features that do not make this product usable, get ad blocking in and working. You can then literally ask me for a one time fee and I will pay it. take my money! ### 1/5 — No extensions on iOS? *2026-09-04, version 155.0* Without the ability to use extension, there are no benefits to use this app. I’d rather stick with Safari. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Navigateur de recherche *2026-09-04, version 155.0* Votre navigateur de recherche nous force automatiquement la saisie semi-automatique entre autre lorsqu'il y a une mise à jour de Firefox. Je n'ai pas envie que votre navigateur et le moteur de recherche que j'utilise prennent mon historique de recherche sans mon consentement ( saisie semi-automatique = A.I ). Quant au moteur de recherche QWANT il me force avec une vérification quand je l'utilise... ça me rend très perplexe pour la sécurité de mes données. ### 1/5 — My review is gone!!! *2026-09-04, version 155.0* And now they said there is an ad blocker, but I can’t find it anywhere. Ads are still pouring in from websites. Can Mozilla please be better with meeting expectations? They keep making bad UX decisions. They also keep making bad privacy decisions. I just found why do not track protection was off! What the heck! Every update it gets a little worse. They ruined the bookmarks a little while back because they don’t do proper testing or feedback rounds. Every time you do a fresh install , you have to clear a bunch of privacy settings, and make sure that they aren’t spying on you. These guys used to be champions of open source now they keep electing leadership that tries to double down on AI and garbage. All we wanted was a privacy focused browser with simple features. Stop breaking a good thing. ### 1/5 — Nah… *2026-09-04, version 155.0* More AI features in our faces… this is not why I use Firefox. ### 1/5 — Tabs lost *2026-09-04, version 155.0* Every update I look forward to all my tabs being lost, even wiping all my tabs over sync. Complete garbage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good for me *2026-09-09, version 155.1* I have found that in my case it helps me avoid seizure triggers. I can block audio, video and images from playing or appearing unless I choose them. I also like that I can put it on dark mode which also helps me. I have found this browser to be my personal favorite for my epilepsy. In addition, it’s also a really cool browser, with customizable wallpapers and icons. You can go on private mode as well. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — I *2026-09-08, version 155.1* Jo ### 5/5 — Avoiding chrome *2026-09-07, version 155.1* Waiting on ad block. ### 5/5 — Ad blocking has arrived! *2026-09-06, version 155.0* Finally. Ad blocking works. Firefox, I have fallen in love with you all over again. Thank you!!!! ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-09-06, version 155.0* Bbbb ### 5/5 — Отличный браузер *2026-09-06, version 155.0* Отличная замена устаревшему и не безопасному Яндекс браузеру. Очень радует Кастомизация приложения – расположение адресной строки, блокировщики рекламы, тема и значок приложения. Конфиденциально, красиво, современно. ### 5/5 — Titles for passwords *2026-09-05, version 155.0* Excellent browser. Could we get labels and notes for passwords saved in password manager? ### 5/5 — A.mazing! Containers somehow? &? *2026-09-05, version 155.0* Would love containers soon? And the ability to selectively delete dumb & smart local storage cookies too per site, tab, container even? Also, saving a bookmark to home screen that loads app view maximized? cool & awesome work y’all! Per, ai features, would love to embed them in desktop & mobile privately? grok? lumo for sure!, duck (no clue how to selectively use one of their many options)? ### 5/5 — Firefox the best *2026-09-04, version 155.0* Apple has a monopoly on browsers. ### 5/5 — Fix it. *2026-09-04, version 155.0* The tabs keep refreshing. Also, whenever a page refreshes, it messes with the browsing history by leaving duplicate entries in the page history. And pages keep being forced everywhere but where I last left them. Switching tabs and navigating pages is too slow. This is on Private Browsing, where there is not website data to delete. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
