I use an iPad, often with a magic keyboard w/a touchpad. I don't know if it's an issue only with the touchpad or if it's an issue with the touchscreen too, but the "scrolling up/swiping down to refresh page" thing is really sensitive, and it's caused me to wipe out input fields on accident, forcing me to constantly "Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C" to make sure I can retrieve long blocks of text if I accidentally scroll up a little too hard 🙄

Please tell me if there's a way to disable this: on the Android Firefox app I use (Samsung Galaxy S21 FE), it's possible to disable it, but I can't find the setting on my iPad's Firefox app. If there's no way, I'd really love if it was added!! 🙏 Or at least some kind of "sensitivity level" thing.

Thank you Firefox volunteers and staff for your hard work and grace, patience, and diligence in all you do.

(Apple has a tendency to ensure their devices restrict users ability to personalize their experience and implement the types of quality-of-life tweaks Apple refuses to add (for another 3+ years, at least). So I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of thing isn't even possible on iOS/iPad OS...)

While taking my old ipad 2 out of the drawer to watch youtube video it kept crashing while using chrome and opera. Finally, decided to use Firefox and youtube is running great! I know the old saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it" but couldn't help to resist asking if there is any settings in firefox to optimize watching youtube videos on old iOS devices.

something new is happening where I am opening up a webpage in Firefox to read an article, and my podcast that I'm listening to in the also open podcast app suddenly drops out and music starts playing from an ad on the website, even though I have not yet scrolled far enough down in the article to even see they had much less given it permission to play at me.

Blocking this kind of interference is why I have exclusively used Firefox as my web browser on iOS as well as on my laptop computers. I'm very disappointed to see this and hoping that someone will point out to me a simple change of settings that will keep this kind of random noise pollution at bay.

Like why am I using the app and modding the feature off myself. I know the chatbot it toggleable but it just shouldnt be a feature at all. Thats what the search bar is for! Stop putting slop in my stuff please.
