Did you guys really get rid of night mode on iOS app?? And the tap and hold a link to see a small preview page? Those are the two biggest reasons I use Firefox iOS over other browsers- why did these two features go away??

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with Firefox for iOS version 124. I will help you resolve these issues.

> night mode on iOS app?? This is a known bug, re-emerging in version 124. This will be fixed with version 124.1, released later this week. You can learn more about this bug here.

> tap and hold to a link to see a small preview page? I was unable to replicate this issue. Have you tried with a different link or with a different internet connection?

Once again, I apologise for any inconveniences these issues may have caused. If any of these issues persist, please let me know.

Cheers!

Here's the workaround for anyone who's interested.

Navigate to Menu > Settings > About and tap on "Firefox <version number>" five times. That will open up a hidden Debug section. From there go to Debug > Experiments > iOS - Night Mode and select "control" instead of "treatment-a". That will bring back the "Turn on Night Mode" menu item.

I pulled this from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1443105#answer-1644537. Thanks TimmyTango.

No need for any workarounds.

Hello wonderful contributors! I have yet another update regarding Night Mode. The Product Team took our users' feedback to heart regarding their complaints about missing Night Mode. The experiment has ended, and Night Mode should be available again to all users by end of day. Thanks everyone!

Did you find a way to get link previews back? I might have to abandon firefox if this isn't available

Hi there, Link previews still work for me. Try updating Firefox to the latest version and ensuring you have a stable internet connection. It may take a while for the link previews to load.

If there's an error message, please let me know and I'll help you with the error.

Otherwise, have a great day!
