Firefox on Android: top status bar hidden when browsing, how do I show it again?

Recently when browsing on Firefox Android, the icons along the top (clock, wifi, battery indicator etc.) are hidden. They come back when I start typing a URL but when browsing a site they're hidden again.

I don't want this behaviour as I always want this data to be visible.

I can't find a setting that affects this, either in Firefox itself or in the phone's configuration.

How can I disable this?

Many thanks!

Hi

What version number of Firefox for Android are you using?

What is the make, model and Android version of your Android device?

Hi

I have tried to recreate this on my Moto G30 (near stock Android 12) and I am unable to. I think this may be linked to the specific changes made by Oppo to their presentation of Android on their devices.

HI Paul,

I've been through the OPPO settings and there is something related to full screen, but no matter what I do to the settings it doesn't affect Firefox. Sigh. Thank you for trying anyway!

Cheers, Dave
