So I love Firefox, but not on mobile. There are problems with sites the most important being text boxes. I can be typing away and look at what I wrote and the number of times that words are repeated, not in the order I typed them in, or the words are somehow added together wrongly are awful. For instance one of the sites I use is Adam4adam. Writing there will give me the worst response. "Im fine and you?" Looks like " I and yfin e ou?" And no it is not misspelling because when I go with the Android browser I don't have this problem. Another problem that I get is clicking on an internal link of a site and I get the same page, but if I double tap the internal link on my screen then it's different as it will go to the page I want or carry out the action like and a message. Once again it's not every site but once I use Android browser I don't have this problem. But Android browser sucks, but at least out is not giving me these issues. How do I fix my Firefox so I don't have to user the stupid Android browser? P.s. I gave tasked with the companies and it seams I am the only one having the problem but it's been the same on 2 different Samsung Galaxy s4 mini devices

Hi,

Thank you for your questions. The two issues: # the keyboard and #double tapping a link are elaborated below:

  1. Firefox for Android uses the phone's built in keyboard.
  2. Use gestures in Firefox for Android

I hope this helps.
