I’ve been experimenting with going without the suggestion strip on my Android keyboard because I tend to hit that row (and a random unwanted word) occasionally on my relatively new Moto when thumb typing. This can cause problems in FF as it did for me today when I was writing a long-ish comment and accidentally hit the reading mode button in the right of the address bar (I have my address bar at the bottom) and of course flushed my comment to hell. It was a perfect storm of shit haha.
Might move to nightly so I can disable the reading mode button, assuming that’s still possible. I’ve been on Android released for the last year or so.
Edit: BTW this happened on the photon front end. Not sure if you could run into this with default Lemmy. Edit #2: In first paragraph, I used both the terms “comment” and “post”. I was referring specifically to commenting. Haven’t noticed the reading mode button be available when writing a whole new post, but I comment more than I post.
Any other “gotchas” that you guys have encountered on mobile FF?
Not specific to Lemmy, but I was … impressed … that it is impossible to set a custom homepage in the browser. Something that is possible since 15+ years in every mobile browser I used.
It’s unclear to me what the mobile Firefox homepage even is. It doesn’t increase the tab count, it just sort of hovers over your screen. And you can get to it by either pressing the Home button or the New Tab button; both of these do almost the same thing.
Ah wow. You’re right. Guess I never noticed that on mobile. I always set that option on FF desktop.
