Address auto hide not restoring when scrolling up

Android Firefox 92.1.1. A recent update has changed and I think broken scroll-to-hide for the address bar.

I have address bar set to the bottom of the screen. Scrolling down hide the bar as expected.

Until a recent update, *any* scrolling up would restore the bar. However now it will only restore when the up-scroll is in the very last page or so of the whole page.

This means I'd you scroll down a long page, you need to spool and spool back up even to get the address bar back. That seems wrong.

Is this an intentional change? It make auto hide much less friendly if so.

Chosen solution

Okay, thank you.

I have tested this in Firefox for Android 92, 93 and 94 (93 and 94 are still be tested and/or worked on). This issue appears to be fixed in Firefox for Android 94.

Hi

So that I can try and replicate what you are seeing, what is the address of an example page where this happens?

Hi, any long page will do.

eg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

When I scroll and release down to "Did you know ..." address bar is gone for everything below until I go back to the top. The smaller landing page https://www.wikipedia.org/ does not suffer - address bar goes away but comes back with every scroll. I.e address bar reveal only works on very shallow pages.
