Comment on The Scroll Up Bar

Comments

Firefox Browser for Android's default settings requires you to scroll up somewhat rapidly on the page you're currently reading to reveal the browser's auto-hidden URL bar and menu. I tend to loathe this functionality because it means slightly losing my place every time I want to multitask when reading something.

I suppose it wouldn't be so bad as part of a website when viewed from a desktop environment, because you can easily highlight where you left off on the page much easier than you can on a tablet, for example.

You can disable this behavior by unchecking the checkbox in Settings -> Display -> Scroll title bar.

Good point, thanks!
