The clickable area of URL bar for Firefox Android is way too small and narrow compared to Chromium based browsers. It's often irritating to accurately tap/click on the tiny narrow URL box area to access search mode. Especially on a regular basis. Below are the screenshots of layout bound margins comparing Firefox Android with Chrome Android URL bar margins.

Bookmarks don't sync on Android Firefox

Hi. I realised that a couple weeks ago bookmarks on my Samsung S24 Ultra stopped syncing. Bookmarks added, edited, moved or deleted on the phone since then don't change elsewhere and vice versa. Other devices (two Windows computers) sync just fine. I changed nothing in the settings nor did any other important changes I'm aware of. Passwords, history and tabs sync correctly. I tried going with this on my Android Firefox app: uncheck syncing everything -> log out from Firefox account -> force stop Firefox -> clear app cache -> restart phone -> start Firefox -> log in to Firefox Account -> check syncing everything -> force sync. Didn't help. I didn't clear app data or reinstall the app because I would lose all the bookmarks I added there recently. The only way I see is to look through all the bookmarks in my phone and add them manually on the PC, then reinstall the app - which would be as painstaking as it sounds. I switched to Firefox Beta and it syncs just fine (some minor changes I've noticed compared to the basic app are rather annoying but negligible). Any tips? Cheers, Rafau

Punch through bug causes activation of a lower layer object instead of the visible object. Textbox can move to evade text input. Most prominent on facebook, probably poor programming on their part, maybe to a non complied (by other browsers) standard. 2 very annoying, problem bugs

Screenshot 1 is from a podcast where tapping pause or skip can unexpectedly activate the episode behind the floating bar, leaving the desired episode. This could be improper markup or style on the part of talkstreamlive dot com or a Firefox flaw. Screenshot 2 is from the bug ridden kingdom of Facebook. Entering a comment or reply can be a nightmare. I workaround using the address bar for scratch then cutting, returning if facebook doesn't leave, and pasting, avoiding the squirrelly behavior avoiding input attempts. This is almost certainly their fault, IMHO. Perhaps Mr. Selfenfull could benefit from some guidance. The comment textbox floats above the previous comments by others, appears to be related, and may after all be a Firefox bug. Desktop Firefox has no problem. Thanks and good luck.
