Firefox for iPadOS – Request for Option to Disable Pull-to-Refresh
I would like to request an option to disable the pull-to-refresh feature in Firefox for iPadOS.
Device: iPad M2
Firefox Version: 151.1.1
Input Methods Tested: Touch screen, Magic Keyboard trackpad, and external mouse
Issue:
When navigating to the top of a webpage, any slight downward movement triggers a page refresh. This occurs regardless of whether I am using touch, a trackpad, or an external mouse.
Unlike Firefox for Android, which provides a setting to disable "Scroll to Refresh", I have been unable to find an equivalent setting in Firefox for iPadOS.
Impact:
This behaviour is particularly problematic when using banking websites, online forms, account management portals, and other sites where an accidental refresh may interrupt a session, log the user out, or cause entered information to be lost.
As the refresh gesture can be triggered unintentionally during normal navigation, it negatively affects usability and can create unnecessary risk when using important websites.
Request:
Please consider adding a user-configurable option in Firefox for iPadOS to disable pull-to-refresh, similar to the existing Android implementation.
Thank you for your consideration.
