New Toolbar Experiment on iPad: Tab Name Display Issue

Firefox's new toolbar experiment on iPad devices has been a subject of interest for many users. However, a recent issue has been reported where the tab name is not correctly displayed when set to 'Empty New Tab' or 'Homepage'. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, its expected behavior, and the steps to reproduce it.

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Open Firefox on an iPad: Ensure that you have the latest version of Firefox installed on your iPad device.
  2. Go to settings: Navigate to the settings menu within Firefox on your iPad.
  3. Set the new tab: In the settings menu, select the option to set the new tab to either 'Blank Page' or 'Firefox Home'.
  4. Open a new tab: After setting the new tab, open a new tab to observe the behavior.

When you follow the steps to reproduce the issue, you will notice the following behavior:

  • If the new tab is set to 'Blank Page': The tab name will be empty, which is not the expected behavior.
  • If the new tab is set to 'Homepage': The tab name should display 'Homepage' with the logo, but it does not.

According to the design, the tab name should be "New Tab" and the icon should be the Firefox icon. This is the expected behavior when the new tab is set to either 'Blank Page' or 'Homepage'.

To provide more context, here are the device and build information related to this issue:

  • Device: iPad Air 13' M2 (18.3)
  • Build version: v137 (52703)
  • First seen version: Unknown

This issue is synchronized with the following Jira bug:

The incorrect display of the tab name can cause confusion and inconvenience for users who rely on the tab name to identify the new tab. This issue may also affect users who use the 'Blank Page' or 'Homepage' settings for their new tab.

Unfortunately, there is no known workaround for this issue. However, users can try resetting the new tab settings to their default values to see if it resolves the issue.
