When the find in page bar is visible, the user is unable to scroll to reveal the URL bar. Additionally, the minimal design of the find in page bar results in the user futilely flicking the page as hard as possible to try to get the elusive URL to reappear.

On Firefox Android, with the URL bar in the top position, and running ublock origin and privacy badger.

In case it matters, I was on https://usermanual.wiki/Document/OpenShot20Manual.32130931/help

Hi

Given that Firefox for Android is designed for mobile devices with small screens (than a laptop or desktop computer) it does its best to make efficient use of space.

As a result the find in page bar replaced the address bar when find in page is being used.

However, the find bar does not disappear when you try to swipe and make it go away, unless it only does so with the URL bar on the bottom? In any event, you can't get the URL bar back with the find bar active and swiping does not generate the expected result: display of the URL bar.
