Firefox Focus: Privacy browser

1) The app shows that there’s a Safari extension included in the app, but when I go to my Safari settings in my iPhone settings I see zero extensions whatsoever for anything. 2) there needs to be the ability to open multiple windows because sometimes when I go to one page and have it is difficult to navigate back across the login pages to any of the previous pages I was looking at. 3) please please make it possible to bookmark pages. Even when I try to share or copy a link, it doesn’t always share the correct link… especially if it’s from the same website and I’ve navigated to a different part of the website and I’m trying to copy or share that link. It always tends to share/copy the original page link I opened or the previous page’s link. I can’t figure out how exactly it is determining what link it is copying/sharing but it is not doing so with the link for the page that I am actually on. 3) I would like to be able to close the app without losing the content that I was looking at. Sometimes I have to close it to do something else or because somebody has come over and it’s impossible to find where I was or what I was reading. 4) I appreciate that you don’t update your app all the time like most apps do. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it is my motto. but there are a few tweaks that need to be made without actually changing anything to do with the way the app otherwise currently works.

Thank you for this app! The privacy part of it is nice and is why I originally got the app, but I set it as my default browser and it has really helped me be intentional with how I organize my browsing. It actually does help me stay focused. There is one thing that frequently drives me crazy. This app (and others) hide buttons while scrolling. However, many websites have a paywall popup that locks scrolling once a certain point is reached. When this happens the back button and navigation bar are hidden. The only thing that can be done is to shutdown the app and restart. The main feature of this app clashes with this work around because everything is erased. This is particularly insidious when filling out forms. I understand a little bit about web APIs and understand it could be a difficult fix (not sure if it’s even possible on iOS) but it would sincerely make a big difference for users! Thank you for all your hard work at Mozilla!

Update: A recent app update deleted my 4 browser shortcuts and I had to add them back in. Hopefully this won’t recur with future updates. This happened on both my iPhone and iPad. Until the last update you could add 4 shortcuts to your favorite sites so you could easily open them without typing in the whole web address for your most visited sites. Not sure why this feature would be removed. If you didn’t want to use it then you didn’t have to use it. So if users were concerned that others would see their favorite sites they could just enable Face ID or Touch ID to prevent this. Hope this is added back in a future update. It was very convenient to just check your favorite news, sports, or other info sites for any quick news updates when your in a hurry. URL Autocomplete isn’t the same because the sites you visit may be similar to those saved in app’s Top Sites which means you have to type more of the website address to get to the correct website. Instead of just clicking the shortcut. Please fix this so Firefox Focus isn’t just Safari with privacy features and an Adblock. Which is appreciated but not a full featured mobile version of Firefox.
