Can’t disable typing bar at bottom of screen

Firefox kwa iOS Browser appearance

When I am using Firefox for iOS, and I click on any text input, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. This bar contains nothing apart from ‘↑ ↓ Done’ on the right. This bar is really annoying and moves the page around irritatingly.

If I click ‘Done’ it will temporarily remove the bar until I click on a text input again, and it will appear again.

I would like to know if this is something to do with Firefox or the device iOS settings.

This thread from apple discussions has the same problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255143785?sortBy=rank

A screenshot is attached.

Don’t worry, I found the problem! I just needed to update to a new version of Firefox, with more settings to turn this off.

Thanks for helping!

Hi James, do you happen to use an external keyboard?
