Almost perfect but needs help

firefox is nearly there but is vulnerable to browser hijacking. websites are now pushing app downloads which have banners that freeze up ( on purpose) firefox. Instagram and reddit should be prosecuted under internet crimes for this.

When websites assault users with annoying stickies that obstruct viewing. Its time for major changes and behavior analysis of a website's abuse of a user.

Firefox needs built-in features that block hostile marketting such as cookie notice blockers, better ad blockers and focusing on. blocking all hostile email signups and "bugsplats" which essentially are annoying website elements that purposefully block the view of users.

Since this has to rely on crummy safari for iphones and they refuse to allow it to run without it. its time they grow stones and stop being the "bottom" in silicone valley. this includes they need browser masking. if website's marketting hate this.... well too bad.

This app has gone to hell!

I started using this app several years ago to read Fox News. As an ad blocker Focus worked great.
There were few or no interruptions. Unfortunately, they’re not keeping up anymore. Fox News has found ways to cram your in feed with a ton of stuff that it’s impossible to shut off. I hope somebody creates an ad blocker for Firefox Focus to clean up the mess.

Great

Reliable

Lack of current updates

current Firefox is 158.3 and you abandoned your project. What a shame indeed.until always updated to latest Firefox keep 1 festive it if you take care of project then may be 5 is deserved.

Love it, a couple of nitpicks though.

My first complaint would be that I wish the tracker counter at the bottom of the splash page can be toggled on and off. I know the number displaying how many trackers caught serve their purpose but I objectionally find it distracting and it always prompts me to screenshot the tracker counter depending on what digits are in the number of trackers blocked (e.g. 113, 420, 67, 666, 69, or strings of numbers arranged consequtively (12345…)) and on top of it being a distraction, it is basically also a sensory disturbance given I personally have ADHD and reinforces me that I might or might not have OCD as well. My second complaint would be that even though the browser promises me it will give me my privacy and not spy on me, for whatever reason, it still knows my exact location as using sites on it like Google mention the state I live it. I propose the quirk where it somehow still aknowledges my location also gets patched one day, and that happening would give me more versatillity searching for things anyway.

Long story short, I want a toggle to switch the tracker counter display on-and-off at will and I hate my location is still being tracked on so I want it removed in some way.

Now for the positives, I love how browsing is limited to only one tab unlike the other browsers I've used. It annoys me when the other browsers I've used such as Safari, Chrome, and the DuckDuckGo app generate another tab and forcibly move me into said tab, which makes me very thankful that Firefox Focus does not do that. Secondly, I love how you have the options to straight-up integrate diferrent custom sites into Firefox Focus' search engine settings along with the default ones. Finally, I also love how you have the abillity to have autocompleted search suggections completely turned off in the settings because otherwise, personally speaking, I get embarrassed by what suggestions pop up under the search bar because they all feel like they are coming from the mouth of someone who is clearly living under a rock, which varies a lot on the topic of the querry.

If this is too confusing, that's fine because I am personally am being to suck more and more at describing things in an presice, on-the-nose manner.

Firefox Focus is a solid browser app nontheless.

Love ad-blocking, but no tabs?

LOVE ad and tracker blocking. Not sure if I'm missing something but there are no tabs, or tab groups.

Firefox Focus

Excellent App!

Update for iPhone duo please!

Update for iPhone duo please!

Useless for browsing

Can open only ONE tab at a time?! Idiot idea!

EVERY UPDATE BREAKS SOMETHING

Startpage search has to verify every search when I use this browser. Wasn’t happening before but now it is.

Also, yutube videos cannot be restarted in full screen mode after the video is stopped when the phone is turned off.

Doesn’t work with newest iOS

App hasn’t been updated in over a month and no longer works with the newest Apple iOS.

Youtube webpage acting up

Ever since ios27, the youtube webpage has been acting weird in this app.

Opening control center while watching videos in full screen makes the video go black. The only way to make it go back is going to the home screen then going back to firefox focus app.

Sometimes when i turn off captions, if i put the video in full screen, its like the captions remain frozen where they were and stay on screen. But if you go back to non-full screen video, it shows the captions disappeared.

Something must have changed in this update or in ios27 that is making these weird situations. Please check them. App is good other than that.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service

Great app especially when using Artificial “Intelligence”

Aside from FireFoxes outstanding privacy features it provides access to AI without all the baggage. I use it from everything adjusting recipes to academic research. Thank you FireFox!!!

Google reCAPTCHA

Google reCAPTCHA is blocking access through Firefox and creating havoc with using Firefox! Is now no good to use and attempts to fix it are met with failure. I’m afraid to use Firefox now even though Google is the one responsible for these irresponsible actions

An excellent method to keep everything neat and tidy without wasting space and time

Doesn’t quite work as intended.

A Great Simple Browser

I love Firefox Focus, it’s a great quick, privacy oriented browser that’s perfect for all those quick little searches that you don’t need cluttering your browser history. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t.
