Screen time blocking Firefox

I’ve just put screen time back for my son. Previously it worked fine,

now he can’t access Firefox - even when it’s not downtime.

( it says blocked by screen time)

Have I missed something in the new set up for screen time? How can I fix it?

the only thing I can do at the moment is turn off screen time altogether - meaning it’s useless.

Hi there Suzy_7,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.


We understand that Screen Time is not working as expected.


If Screen Time is blocking Firefox, perhaps it is age restriction? You may have the content rating set too strict for the Firefox app.


To restrict explicit content and content ratings:


1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then tap Content Restrictions.
3. Choose the settings that you want for each feature or setting under Allowed Store Content.


Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


That should help. Let us know if you have any questions.


Take care.
