System bars keep getting hidden in FF97

I want to always see the android navigation bar and the bar with time/battery. For some time now (days?) the browser's behavior when I click myself into a tab from the tab menu has been to switch to the tab and hide system bars and only leave the FF toolbar. I have to press on the address bar and back out to the tab with the system button to have them stay.

How do I force keep system bars while browsing in FF97?

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu, select Settings and Customise, you should see the option to turn off "Scroll to hide toolbar". This will keep the addressbar visible for you.

I hope that this helps.

The issue is not the addressbar as you can see from OPs screenshot. It's the system bar (time, battery, wifi etc etc) and the android system buttons at the bottom (home, back etc).

When you swipe from top or bottom, everything shows up for a couple of seconds and then dissapears. Firefox android hides these for some reason. This is not an android setting and only started appearing after I updated Firefox 2 days ago. I HATE THIS

I just now tried this on my phone, and I do not see the problem. I'm running FF 97.1.0 on my OnePlus Nord N200 with Android 11. It might be related to either your device or your version of Android.
