Unclear, but questions have been asked by Fetch how to prepare a preload distribution and how that works with Adjust and attribution. Assuming this does not magically work and will require some engineering work.

Currently in iOS:

Currently in Android:

I do not know if there is a restriction for it, but I saw on the Apple Store that Firefox Focus requires iOS 9.0. It is available for the iPod Touch 6th gen, so I want to know if it's possible to also port it to the iPod 5th gen which also has iOS 9.0+.

Thank you.

Device: Android only

STR:

1. Tap a site address (e.g. qq.com since it takes a long time to load )
2. while site is loading, drag to open android bar
3. Tap on Erase focus history

Actual: Focus Crashes
Note: Please take in consideration that you might need to repeat the STR to trigger the crash

SwiftKey isn't showing up as a keyboard option when using Focus on my iPhone SE. Thanks!

What the title says.

It's being filed here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318263 also.

Firefox Focus on Android is actually using a Photon-gradient loading bar that we plan on using across Mobile. I think this is strictly a UI matter but it would be more consistent if we could unify the two Focus apps here.

Focus on iOS is currently using an old loading bar UI.

Example:

1. open reddit.com in firefox focus
2. pick a post with many comments
3. scrolling through posts is slightly choppy
4. disable blocking social trackers in settings
5. scrolling through posts is now completely smooth

I assume it is because there are lots of upvote / downvote reddit buttons everwhere. I have noticed this on other pages too

[edit]
I'm sorry to not mention that this is the android version with webkit 59 and that perhaps this is not the right place for this report.

Barring incredible usage numbers for this Settings button. I think we should be able to remove it....

Removing a redundant UI for accessing Settings is nice but also leveraging this opportunity to further unify the experience across platforms.

For example, when browsing on Safari with Focus content-blocking enabled, trackers appear on this page: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/2016/02/googles-amp-speeding-web-changing-works/amp/

Can LocalStorage support be returned?

When I downloaded Firefox Focus after release, I was very happy to find that LocalStorage is supported, unlike every other private mode browsing on iOS I'd seen prior (Mobile Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc). Unfortunately after updating recently from the App Store, it is also now unsupported in Firefox Focus too.

I assume it was this commit responsible: 6ed56a9

         // Disable localStorage.
          // We clear the Caches directory after each Erase, but WebKit apparently maintains
          // localStorage in-memory (bug 1319208), so we just disable it altogether.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons for a website to use web storage, and it is by no means incompatible with "privacy", as long as it's cleared at the end of the private session. Is this an insurmountable problem to overcome without a fix from Apple?

Another Photon consistency thing.

Specifically here, it involves updating the color elements such as the gradient in the toolbar, text, and maybe some icons here and there.

Update:

• Main gradient (#D70022 #B5007F #440071) at 70% opacity overlaying dark background (#363B40)
• Inactive/before page is loaded gradient (#D70022 #B5007F #440071) at 10% opacity overlaying dark background (#363B40)
• text selection (#B5007F)
• Blocking disabled toolbar (#272727)
• Bottom Menu gradient (#D70022 #B5007F #440071) at 20% opacity overlaying dark background (#363B40) - Entire bar at 90% opacity
• Bottom Menu inactive (#363B40) - Entire bar at 90% opacity

maybe we can think about other ways to promote Firefox, if not installed, eg. rather say "Get/Download Firefox" in share menu or somewhere else

Basically, we want users who don't have Firefox installed, suggest to install Firefox as they might also like to use Firefox

Try this site on Focus 3.2 or 3.3: https://genius.com/The-smiths-cemetry-gates-lyrics#note-1770575

When you click a lyric, the Drawer should expand. The page just loads something and then nothing happens.

try www.foxnews.com works in firefox

Settings: Find better ways to communicate what each option is for and why someone would want to use them

US: I don't know what all these tracker settings mean under settings

I just saw this TODO in scrape_plugins.py:

# TODO: Download list from Android repo once the mobile list is in the tree.
LIST_PATH = "./list.json"

And coincidentally I just recently reviewed the related Fennec code:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1300201

The mobile list is now located at mobile/locales/search:

• Add telemetry

We currently do this in the Android side. This hinges on UX issues around an iOS menu since we don't have one.

On voice.mozilla.org, we use overflow-x on a fixed div to achieve page scrolling. This seems to work on all platforms (including safari, firefox for android, and an ios native app we build which wraps our site in a webview) except focus for ios. We are investing this on the website side, but it would be great to have some advice from the native side too.

Here's the bug we filed for our project:
common-voice/common-voice#214

Firefox Focus is not available in the German App Store

One of the pieces of feedback we're looking to address next for Focus on Android. We should do the same thing here for iOS. (mozilla-mobile/focus-android#832)

Attaching Android mock for context, will update with iOS version later.

Something we tried to get in the initial release but didn't

Right now Focus does not support to save image in Iphone or Zoom the image.

Can you please add this?

Why not use WKWebView instead of UIWebView?

Starting in iOS 8.0 and OS X 10.10, use WKWebView to add web content to your app. 
Do not use UIWebView or WebView.

Communicate to user when Focus and their session is running in the background

see what we've done for Android, under "About"

Firefox iOS has a custom URL scheme (implemented in https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/blob/master/Client/Application/AppDelegate.swift#L266), which allows the use of URLs like:

firefox://?url=http://example.com
firefox://?url=http://example.com&private=true

to open the browser from another app or webpage. Could a similar URL scheme be added to Focus?

Need to talk to Engineering to figure out edge cases, and feasibility, e.g. interrupted by a phone call, maybe offer options, e.g. to Auto erase when in background (setting), or via timer

See mozilla-mobile/focus-android#927

Something we talked about before launch... just like Safari!

One of the recommendations coming out of our research is to clarify the 'box-with-an-arrow' button. This sits on the bottom right of the screen ATM and was intended to allow users to easily jump out into the full fledged browser of their choice.

Please add startpage.com to the list of supported search engines.

Now that macOS has support for content blockers can this app be ported to macOS?

From SpiceGirls4Life on Reddit:

I've been using Firefox Focus as my main browser now for a while, but there's one "feature" (bug, more like it?) that is bothering me:

I have turned off search engine suggestion (DDG), but when I enter a URL which begins with terra(...), the FFF address bar autosuggest/autocomplete it to terraclicks.com, which is some sort of supplier of click-tracking and ads.

Why? Please, if any of the FF devs see this, remove this.

Search engine plugins are currently retrieved from https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus/blob/a185afaa6875575bd33e8614d9b3973ef064e0c5/Search/scrape_plugins.py#L19 (and L10n versions a few lines below that) by pulling directly from hg.mozilla.org's mozilla-aurora repository.

That's unfortunate for two reasons:

1. Mercurial's not really meant to be queried like that for raw files. There's got to be a better way (something backed by a CDN?) to pull in this information.
2. The mozilla-aurora repository (along with Mozilla Aurora as a release product) has been discontinued. I don't know how long those files will continue to be available at those URLs.

At the very least, this should be changed to fetch those files from some other not-discontinued repository.

Some popular websites require Desktop Site for better access. For ex: google news links on mobile tend to be part of Google AMP, which does not present the whole website and the google amp banner reduces screen space.
