Additionally, we're working on a Codeberg mirror that you may consider using - so stay tuned.

FYI: We're hoping to have IronFox available on Accrescent around ~v135, hopefully sooner. :)

Changelog

• Updated to Firefox 134.0.1.
  
• Updated to Phoenix 2025.01.14.1.
  
• Autocomplete is disabled by default to reduce accidental/undesired connections. You can enable it if desired by navigating to IronFox's Settings -> Search -> Address bar preferences -> Autocomplete URLs.
  
• Default top sites have been removed from the new tab page, due to privacy concerns (Firefox connects to these domains ~every launch to fetch favicons...).
  
• Firefox's built-in Password Manager/Autofill is disabled by default. We no longer disable it in GeckoView; now by the UI instead, so as long as you enable the Password Manager in IronFox's settings, it should work as expected. https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/issues/11
  
• Firefox's built-in URL query tracking parameter stripping is now more effective, as the list has been extended to match Brave & LibreWolf's.
  
• Firefox's Cookie Banner Blocker is now enabled by default.
  
• Firefox Suggest is disabled.
  
• Global Privacy Control is enabled by default.
  
• If Autocomplete is enabled, Mozilla's shipped domains list has been disabled. This is a list of popular sites created by Mozilla for use with autocomplete - though was created several years ago and subsequently abandoned, posing security risks due to domains changing hands.
  
• Mozilla's default extension recommendations have been replaced with our own. Currently, we're only including uBlock Origin; though we may add more in the future depending on community feedback. https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/issues/5
  
• Per-site process isolation (Fission) is now enabled by default.
  
• Safe Browsing is now properly disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting browser.safebrowsing.features.malware.update & browser.safebrowsing.features.phishing.update to true in your about:config.
  
• Search suggestions are disabled by default.
  
• Zoom on all websites is now enabled by default. You can change this back to Firefox's default behavior by navigating to IronFox's Settings -> Accessibility -> Zoom on all websites.
  
• Other minor tweaks and enhancements, see here for more details.
  

Notes

If you are having issues due to Fission, you can manually disable it with the following steps:

1. Navigate to IronFox's Settings, scroll down to the bottom, and select About IronFox.

2. Tap the IronFox logo at the top 5 times until you see a message stating Debug menu enabled.

3. Go back to Settings, and select Nimbus Experiments. It should be at the bottom of the About section, below Secret Debug Info)*.

4. Select Android Fission+SHIP Nightly experiment (It should be the second option). Choose fission-off, restart IronFox, and you should be good to go. You can also follow these same steps to re-enable Fission, except you'll want to choose fission-on instead of fission-off...
