On firefox mobile for android I have this really annoying issue where I'll missclick and hit the shield thing next to the url and a very annoying window about the site's safety pops up that I have to select a certain section of the screen and slide down to close, which I usually have to try and do multiple times because my first few swipes don't go far down the screen enough. Accidentally opened another menu (the history this time) with the same annoying swipe down to close format instead of just giving me a button to press!
Can you PLEASE just put a freaking x button to close on there?
I open these thing ACCIDENTALLY with a single button press, but I have to do something far more complicated and annoying to close it! I have small hands! Swiping down across **bleep** near my entire phone screen is not easy! I have to literally readjust how I am holding my phone in order to do that!
Same with the meatballs menu (which you already so terribly ruined with the newest format of it making the refresh button several inches away from the meatballs menu button) the pop-up it opens needs to be pulled down to close JUST PUT AN X BUTTON FOR IT PLEASE!
This format has NOT considered the diversity of people and their needs! A lot of people have hands far too small for current phone screen sizes. Some people have disabilities that make a motion like swiping to close very hard! I just don't understand why firefox's mobile format is soooooooo obsessed with making people swipe when it is not at all helpful and in fact very detrimental to using the app.
