URL bar should be moveable to bottom on Firefox for iOS #6621
Comments
@brampitoyo see bugzilla link for input from user (related to #5912) |
With Fenix (which has the URL bar at the bottom by default) now having rolled out fully on Android I think it's time to consider this issue again. The search button added with the |
I would very much like this. Especially with the newest iPhones screen sizes being enormous, one handed use is almost impossible. |
Thank you for the feedback. Leaving this ticket open as the bottom nav bar feature is still under consideration. In the meantime, I want to share a few changes coming out to avoid reaching across the screen with your thumb:

@athomasmoz those additions you mentioned are not very useful, I think. I find myself more often needing the urlbar when I am actually in an existing webpage and want to change to another webpage (without having a new tab or deleting the current one). Even if there was a search icon in the bottom in existing pages, my I is drawn to the urlbar and probably will be trying to reach it there anyway, instead of the icon in the bottom. |
Would very much appreciate this feature. That is a game changer for me at least. |
@brampitoyo this looks already amazing and would work great. On android on the other hand it is kind of baked together. The arrow keys in my opinion are not very necessary as one can swipe back and forth (this might be important for those who don’t know about swiping, on the other hand android doesn’t have them either) and I like how on android it is taking up less space. None the less, happy to see you are working on this! |
Any updates on this? I had to switch to an iPhone for work and was using Firefox mobile on Android where the URL/address bar at the bottom. It was very useful down on the bottom that I was surprised that Firefox on iOS didn't have this feature, too. :( |
Thanks for the feedback and for following up. The work is currently in design - we have a few enhancements to the design based on learnings from trying it on Firefox on Android. |
@athomasmoz can we find this in the project section to follow it and do you have a vague projection? I understand it might take a while, but really looking forward to it. Great to see you update here as well! |
With iOS15 Safari will gain the ability to move the URL bar to the bottom of the screen. Just alone for parity reasons this feature should be given more consideration. |
Now that refresh is in the URL bar with the latest update, this would be better than ever. Having to reach all the way up to the top of the screen when wanting to refresh is very frustrating. |
I highly recommend the Firefox iOS team to give Safari on iOS 15 a try. With bottom URL bar and its benefits like easy to reach controls and dependent features like swiping the URL bar left/right to switch tabs or up to see the tab overview, Safari has achieved a leap in speeding up workflows. I hope to see Firefox on iOS follow suite soon as well <3 |
tracking on #9422 |
The address bar for the normal FF app is at the bottom, but this one remain on top. Makes it awkward to use especially as most popular browsers have the option to move the address bar. |
@Dennismn there's an option in the settings to move the URL bar to your preference (either top or bottom). |
Sorry, I thought this was the thread for Firefox Focus. Which remains at the top and there's no option to change it. |
This is not present in the latest Firefox on iPadOS in the App Store at the time of this posting. |
Steps to reproduce:
Launch Firefox for iOS
Try to reach the URL Bar with one hand
Try to find a setting to move the URL bar to the bottom
Actual results:
I could not reach the URL bar comfortably
There was no setting to move it to the bottom
Expected results:
Considering how tall iPhones have gotten, there should be a setting to move the URL bar to the bottom, just like on Firefox for Android.
