Hello @trlef19 ! Unfortunately Firefox mobile does not support changes to its new tab page, even though Bonjourr is technically compatible 😢

I'll leave this issue open has it might change in the future though !

Hello! I also use bonjourr on firefox for mobile too. And I somehow managed it to be available on IOS and iPadOS. Here's my setup steps I use:
1.go to settings, select Homepage under General, scroll down to Custom URL text bar under Current Homepage, paste https://online.bonjourr.fr/ and click return, ensure there is a blue checkmark on the right. click done on top right.
2. go to settings, select New Tab under General, paste https://online.bonjourr.fr/ into the Custom URL text bar under Show. Also ensure there is a blue checkmark on the right. click done.
3. quit firefox completely, which is force quit firefox by swiping up from the bottom of the Home Screen and pause in the middle of the screen. Swipe up on firefox's preview to close the app.
Then the next time you open firefox and click the home button on bottom center, it should be bonjourr webpage. Also same as the new tab feature.
I have done these on my iphone and ipad. And I tried again today to make sure it still works.
Hope these work for you guys too.

Hi @Ecattea, Firefox on iOS & iPadOS is using Safari under the hood, but on Android, Firefox is using its own engine. This is why this only works on Apple devices.

You can see that Firefox Android is different because it has its own category on caniuse.com, but not Firefox iOS !
