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?
