Reddit breaks app

Reddit popup blocks accessing the menu so cannot switch to other open tab and have to quick

Just garbage. Websites should not break app

Extension to block ads doesnt work

Bah

Can’t get rid of ads on NYT

Really like this web browser.

I have used it to preserve my privacy easily for years.

Annoying

Can’t block specific websites at the browser level

This still shows ads.

One Step Shy…

You’re brilliant and insanely creative!

I simply cannot get my head around the limited ability to adapt/adjust the font 🤔?

I’m half blind (exaggeration, obviously) so this insanely small font is driving me insane 😵‍💫…

If it is - just dawned on me - the result of my restricting it all down to standard font, I can only understand it to a certain extent.

Large font could replace it instead of small.

And/or we need the option to do so.

Again, you guys are almost terrific.

Why no - on both Firefox apps - automatic logouts, as of some time back?

It was among your better practices.

In fact, if you’re going to allow the invasive sites to linger for 24 to 48 hours, odds are they’ll make it past one or two of your blocks.

Sounds pretty sleazy to me.

Doesn’t Block Reddit Ads

Says it has “always-on ad blocking,” yet it doesn’t block Reddit ads? Ok…

Closes tab by itself.
Only one tab on browser.

No going back to tab closed by system.

My go-to browser

I drown in tabs. Having no tabs and no history is just what I need to keep using my phone as a tool and not a black hole of wasted time.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the land

Find in page (ctrl F) is BROKEN in FF 155.0

Sorry to address this here but this critical function is not working in the latest desktop version of FF and I don't know how else to bring to your attention. CTRL F does not bring up a search box except in troubleshoot mode. There is no indication of which if any extension could be causing this.

Update 9/2/26: App is MUCH worse after latest update!

NEW REVIEW: The latest version of the app makes it far more unstable when dealing with streaming sites. If a pop-up notification appears while you are watching a video, you now have to reload the page and cue the playhead to roughly where you were watching, because it KILLS your full screen viewing (either the screen goes black with only captions showing, or a mini icon appears over the enlarge icon to prevent you from clicking it, or the enlarge icon isn’t obscured but doesn’t work). The fact that damn near every streaming site already has a counter for this last update before it even dropped points to a conclusion that the users of Firefox Focus were betrayed by Firefox. Users can’t trust anybody after HTML 3. It only benefits the corporations, not the people.


ORIGINAL REVIEW: The newest update has created a bunch of issues with many streaming sites, it seems. If you click on a video and expand the screen, you better not stop and do anything else in the middle, or you may have to reload the entire screen. This has happened on EVERY streaming site that I’ve visited since the update. What makes this worse is the extremely vague description of the update, so you have no clue what you are getting into before you download it. You can’t trust anybody in this iteration of HTML. I’m considering abandoning streamed content entirely.
