Pull to refresh causing a noticable delay on Android
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.

Hi,
I do know this is a feature that our developers have been trying to fine tune. If you wish to file a bug, please see File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
oh ok. someone at mozilla told me to post here. i guess they were wrong. i went to the link you mentioned and i would have to make another account, which i don't want to do. i'm not going to pursue this further.
Ok, thank you for letting us know.
