The keyboard freezes on the screen after pressing enter on a search performed in a new tab. This issue occurs specifically when the tab is opened through the tab tray interface (grid view) and does not happen when the tab is opened using the plus sign (+) on the main bar.
To reproduce the bug, you must first open the tab switcher and create a new tab from there. After typing any search term and pressing enter, the keyboard remains stuck on top of the browser, blocking the view of the content. It only disappears if the user minimizes the app or opens the Firefox menu.
This behavior has been confirmed on Android 11, 13, and 14, affecting all versions of Firefox. The error persists even after a factory reset of the device, on clean installs with no configuration changes, and across different keyboard apps. The bug happens in both normal and private tabs and has also been reported by other users on Reddit.
Below is a link to one of the Reddit videos reporting the keyboard freezing issue.
