Firefox Fast & Private Browser 17+

No more dark mode?

EDIT: Dark mode seems to be back again for me, if it stays Firefox will return to being my browser of choice. I chose this app so I could read websites at night and dark mode was what I relied on to be able to do that. The option from the hamburger menu has been removed and the only other option I can see in settings (Theme) doesn’t work in the same way as the original option did. I won’t be able to use Firefox anymore if this isn’t fixed.

Thank you for using Firefox for iOS and your support! You're right, the Dark Mode is available again. If you have any suggestions of how we can improve our app, you can upload your ideas at https://mzl.la/sumo-connect

Shame on Apple and Mozilla

This is not Firefox in any way, shape, or form, bar name and organisation. In fact, it is antithetical to the very idea of Firefox and extensions, and, quite appropriately for Apple, gives the guise of choice and privacy, when this is not at all the case. The curated thought-friendly “extensions” are an abysmal fraction of the available ecosystem made by developers, and provides no access to any tools that prevent third party snooping, blocking, or anything that stops Apple from extracting its value from you. Additionally, the studies and telemetry options that exist in the significantly trimmed down settings menu, have flipped themselves back to transmitting data without ny input. Programming error, I’m sure- just like all those other privacy invasions that benefit the people who made the “error”. As a hollow shell of itself as an app, within a trash walled garden ecosystem, the developers should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of sacrifice to the principles of the browser and open internet, and to the organisation itself, for bending the knee once again, and entrenching this kind of anti-people technology.

This app is ridiculous!

Every time you switch between the current webpage you're on to another app, whenever you click back on firefox it automatically opens a new tab. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!

I can't find any way to turn this off, and it is so ridiculous! I am CONSTANTLY swapping between a webpage and other apps to reference or copy information, and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. a new tab is opened! It's so redundant (not to mention infuriating!!!), do the developers of this app honestly think we aren't capable of opening a new tab, when there is a button provided so we can do exactly that?!

WHY WOULD ANYONE CREATE SUCH A STUPID SYSTEM?!?!?! Surely it is common sense that people don't want to constantly be closing new tabs every time they want to reference something! Surely it's also common sense that every time someone opens the app, they don't necessarily want a new tab! WHY WOULD YOU FORCE THIS STUPIDITY ON YOUR CONSUMERS?!?!?!

If this doesn't get fixed soon, I'm deleting this app and never coming back! I've honestly not seen such **BAD** design from a big company in a LONG time!!!

Aside from this one gripe, the app's not bad. But if you're like me and swap between apps a lot, then this problem makes it at best a 1 star app!
