This is a problem I've been having on and off for a while now. It seems to only happen on specific web sites, and only in Firefox (I use the Beta browser). On some sites the issue seems intermittent, while on others it's there every time. The issue is this: it seems that my keyboard (SwiftKey) fails to correctly recognize text input fields as such. Some times this leads to text input being doubled, as the autocorrect system fails to remove the direct input to replace it with the corrected word. Typically it means every word is capitalized, as every word is seen by the keyboard as the first word in a field. Some times the keyboard doesn't open at all. Erasing text is often either entirely impossible or extremely slow, as is navigating already input text.

Ive tried clearing both browser and keyboard caches with no change. Visiting the same sites in Chrome has everything work as intended.

I just want to report my experience using your mobile browser. navigating through your browser is very slow. I thought it was just the website I was navigating through but then I started navigating the same website through another browser and had no problems. Then I noticed navigating through other websites with other browsers was easier too. If there is a method to make navigating through your browser faster then let me know. And I'm frustrated that there is no direct contact to support. I am communicating this report through this media because there was no direct way to make this report to support. That is very frustrating to me. Why isn't there a direct line to contact support. Why is contacting Mozilla volunteers the only option for those looking to report issues or looking for real technical support?

I am recently experiencing a pop-up captchca verification page whenever I open Firefox to browse. The pop-up insists there is/has been unusual web activity which is not true. I use a Surfshark VPN on a Huawei Psmart(2019) mobile, protected by AVG Antivirus. This problem does not occur on my tablet or my wife's Huawei P Smart.

I am using the video background fix addon but whenever i minimize firefox, it will play the current video untill the end and will not autoplay the next one. I have to bring forefox to the screen again and then it starts the video.

On my much older Android device, i am using the same setup and have no problem with autoplaying the next video, even when firefox is minimized. Any suggestions?
