Hello

I am writing to report a problem with the context menu in Firefox for Android. I am very dissatisfied with how it is designed and I would like to have more control over it.

First of all, there are too many options from other apps that I do not use, which clearly take up space and I want to remove them, but I cannot. They are irrelevant to my browsing experience and they clutter the menu.

Secondly, I do not like that despite the bulkiness of the context menu, it only displays 2-3 items, and to get to the one I need, I have to scroll through the menu several times, which is extremely inconvenient. For instance, I often want to copy text, but this option is hidden at the bottom of the menu. It would be much easier if it were visible at the top or have the ability to build the context menu for my needs.

In other words, there is a bulky and inconvenient menu, which also has unnecessary and annoying options that I cannot do anything about, because apparently, the ability to customize and change the context menu is removed in the Android version.

(using 118.2.0) At times the navigation icons and the reload icon disappear from the task bar. When I go into Settings and then back to the browser page the icons are gone. They are still in the "3 dot" menu. The only way I have found to reappear them is to close the app (go into android task list and "swipe" it closed) and reopen it.

Any ideas/suggestions?

When you first released the pull to refresh feature on Android, it worked good. However, for the last several releases, there is a noticeable delay when trying to scroll up and down. Say you are in the middle of a news article and you want to move up or down. It will just hang for a bit, rather than smoothly go up and down like normal. If I turn pull to refresh off, scrolling is normal. What I think might be happening is the pull to refresh feature is no longer recognizing to only work when at the top of a page. The only time you would want to pull down to refresh is at the top of the article. Otherwise, it shouldn't even be active. Don't really know what the real problem is though. It is a real bummer. I really like that feature. Having to go back to the old way of refreshing a page is super annoying. I hope you can figure it out. This issue has been going on for several releases/months. I didn't know how to report it. Perhaps the last three releases have had the issue.

Longstanding Scrolling BUG in FF for iOS Reader View

When I switch to Reader view in FF for iOS (text-only view), I can sometimes scroll smoothly to the bottom of an article, and sometimes Reader view suddenly starts yanking me down to the bottom of the web page when I attempt to scroll down. What do I mean by 'yanking'? I scroll down a screen's worth of text, read the next screen, and scroll again, read again, and at seemingly random moments, the view scrolls by at rapid speed to the bottom of the page. I can then try to scroll up--and it will let me scroll rapidly, pulling up so quick that the scrolling continues a moment to catch up after I remove my finger from the screen--but as soon as I try to fine-tune by touching the screen and holding it as I move it up and down a little at a time, YANK! and I'm at the bottom of the screen again. Sometimes I can leave reader view, reload the web page without leaving the page, reset to reader view, and be successful at scrolling the entire article. Other times I have to close the web page and open a new window to start over.

This happens on more than one website, and has been a problem through multiple iOS iterations (at least since iOS 14) and FF updates (I keep my FF on auto-update). Currently on iOS 17.0.3 iPhone 12 mini with FF 118.2 (34971).

I have the problem that Firefox does not correctly recognize when I want to scroll up on a web page. This often causes me to accidentally refresh the page. Usually this should only happen when I'm already at the top of the website and then swipe down again and not in the middle of the website. I have even tried Firefox Nightly and Klar, but the issue occurs with every browser. Is there perhaps some trick or hidden setting that causes the browser to scroll reasonably again instead of constantly refreshing the website?

I already use Firefox for Desktop and I'm currently moving from Chrome to Firefox on Android, one feature that I miss is the possibility of splitting the screen with two instances of browser each side.

Firefox allow splitting but you can only open a different app on the other side. I'd like to open Firefox on both sides and move tabs from one side to another.

I've attached one image to show how it look like on Chrome.

In the past, I could search for a business and the green phone would pop up on it and I could push it and it would open in my call/dial pad. Now it won't. When you click on it in the android mobile version it initially seems like it wants to load but immediately stops and does nothing. Am fully updates, full permissions, and cache/cookies cleaned since this started. Is there any other settings I should be looking at?

Problem: keyboard covers text area in chat and scroll does not function. In a chat with customer service usually, the text I am writing does not appear, it is behind the keyboard and scroll is frozen. I have to close the keyboard to see the text, also scroll works. Then I click on my partially filled text box, keyboard comes back covering it, no scroll. Repeat. Pixel 6, FF for Android, T-mo, Ad-Guard only addon, everything updated, see attached.

I'm having an issue with Firefox on Android. On certain websites (e.g., Yahoo News, Calscape.org, Google search results--with Goggle Search Fixer add-on enabled), I can scroll down the page without issue, but scrolling slowly back up toward the top of the page with downward drags of my finger is only responsive half of the time. That is, I can only scroll back up with every-other downward swipe/drag of my finger. This odd behavior does not happen with other mobile browsers (I'm on Android 13 and using a Galaxy A53 5G). Any suggestions?
