I am trying to enable Firefox, on Android, to draw over other apps, so I am able to look things up, while I have a other app open. However, it won't allow me to do this via my phone's settings and when I found instructions for how to enable this, within the app, I can't find the option to enable it.

How can I do this? If not, why isn't the option available? I'm trying to detach from Google, as much as possible.

Hi

I recommend that you check this with your phone provider, but Android allows you to do a split screen that may help.

This support article from Google might help - https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7444033?hl=en-GB
