Website UI that should be at bottom of screen is floating an inch or so above

Recently, whenever I go to a website that has some info/links/UI that should be locked to the bottom of the screen, it instead shows up and inch or so above the bottom. So I was part of the website on top, the a floating info bar, then a tiny amount of website at the bottom. I have included an image to show what I mean, but some websites have even bigger bars that cover more of the screen. When I scroll up and down the website this floating bar remains at the same location on the screen, just about an inch up from the bottom.

Is there a way to fix this?

"Capture more" scrolling screenshot not working on Firefox Android?

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

How can mouse hover be disabled? On some websites (e.g. gva.be) when you hover (unintentionally) over some link, then this link is opened as if you had clicked on it.

How can this be disabled? I searched in about:config for mouse hover but I couldn't find anything relevant. Or do I need an extension to disable this behaviour?

I'm experiencing an issue with the drag and drop functionality in my browser that's significantly affecting my workflow. Previous behavior:

I could drag any selected text to any area of the browser window to open a new search tab I could lightly drag links anywhere to open them in new tabs

Current behavior:

Now I must drag content specifically to the tab bar at the top to open new tabs This extra precision required is frustrating and slowing down my browsing

I haven't intentionally changed any settings, and this change happened suddenly. This functionality was extremely useful for me as I frequently need to open multiple tabs while researching. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Most importantly, does anyone know how to restore the previous drag and drop behavior? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

For some reason on android firefox I'm no longer able to pull up a tab's history by holding down the back button. I can still press to go back, but there's no way to either go back several pages or to go forward if I have already gone back.

Hello,

So I have this habbit I love which is opening a link on a new tab, then continue browsing the content on my old tab until the new one loads, or when I am done reading through it. Recently, firefox has been switching automatically to the new tab once it loads, which interrupts my workflow/reading a lot.

Is there a way I can stop this or turn this feature off? I believe I start experiencing this after an update.

Just wanted to give feedback back hopefully the devs will take my comments with a grain of salt. I love fire fox desktop but on my iPhone chrome has better features with its app. If the UI can become smooth and streamlined similar to chromes mobile app it, then it would help alot to keep me on fire fox’s mobile app .I am trying to fully transfer to fire fox but the app holds it back. I think you could innovate from chromes idea. As a whole, Fire Fox has a group of users who it trust for privacy and being a trusted word of mouth company.

Best regards,

There's pics included that hopefully explains it, but essentially whenever i try to highlight a text and afterwards scroll down, the highlight bugs out. It seems to be happening only on powerpoint slides that have been converted to pdf. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration on firefox, but it didnt help.

This is a problem I only started experiencing yesterday, but if I try to upload an image to a website (such as social media), and I double-click a shortcut for a folder, it attempts to upload the shortcut as the selected file, instead of opening the folder.

This is only a problem with firefox, as I tried doing this in another browser and I was able to open it as a folder normally. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix this?

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?
