I've been experimenting with going without the suggestion strip on my Android keyboard because I tend to hit that row (and a random unwanted word) occasionally on my relatively new Moto when thumb typing. This can cause problems in FF as it did for me today when I was writing a long-ish comment and accidentally hit the reading mode button in the right of the address bar (I have my address bar at the bottom) and of course flushed my comment to hell. It was a perfect storm of shit haha.

Might move to nightly so I can disable the reading mode button, assuming that's still possible. I've been on Android released for the last year or so.

Edit: BTW this happened on the photon front end. Not sure if you could run into this with default Lemmy. Edit #2: In first paragraph, I used both the terms "comment" and "post". I was referring specifically to commenting. Haven't noticed the reading mode button be available when writing a whole new post, but I comment more than I post.

Any other "gotchas" that you guys have encountered on mobile FF?

Photon seems to have a semantic layout that firefox detects as settable into reader mode.

Yup. but it works quite well if you only want to see the text body
