Lag and freeze when typing in dynamic searching field
I keep trying Firefox browser once in a while for many reasons such a giving it a try to see the improvements, to give it a chance to become my daily driving browser but small niggles such as below doesn't give confidence to make it a default browser.
In website gsmarena.com on mobile Firefox browser when you type in search field, while website tried to dynamically show all matching phone models to a letter that you just typed, browser and keyboard just starts to lag and freeze before it can accept any further input of letter typing. Don't have this issue with other browsers.

Hi Shrinidhi
What other apps do you have open on your Android device when this happens?
What level of enhanced tracking protection do you have set?
Do you have any add-ons installed in Firefox for Android?
Might be lucky that sometimes after leaving the page open for long I am able to type in the dynamic field but just to try again if I reload the page and then try typing it doesn't take the input at all.
Tried clearing all the apps in background but still issue remains. Enhanced tracking protection is at standard. Bitwarden is the only add-on I use. I tried disabling and trying as well but issue remains.

Thank you.
Did you download Firefox for Android from the Google Play store?
Are you going online through a string WiFi connection?

Yes, it's downloaded from Play store and it works perfectly fine in Brave or Chrome with same wifi and 5G.
