Isn't Firefox URL bar on Android... too thin?

I feel like I’m the only one who’s noticed that the URL bar in Firefox for Android has a very thin hitbox. If I press just a few millimeters away from the center, it doesn’t register my touch — it’s like I’m hitting the padding between the URL bar and the page. There’s also a noticeable delay between tapping and the bar actually getting focused (likely to load recent pages and popular search queries). That doesn’t happen in Brave or Edge — they’re butter-smooth. Anyone?

I did a little research and enabled Show layout bounds in Developer settings.

Here is Brave

And here is Firefox

I'm not a developer, but it feels like Brave hitbox actually covers the entire URL bar, while Firefox hitbox only covers thin line of text. Does Firefox really need to be this thin?

Update: some person on Reddit told me to enable Toolbar Composable in secret settings and it's so much better now.
