I saw your previous post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28495622:

> Scrolling up inside an input box while the page is at the top of the screen causes unintentional pull-to-refresh

I saw this too, has it been reported?

> Most recently visited page is not restored when closing and reopening the app, even though it's saved to the history (closed as wontfix)

What's the issue URL? I want to read the history and maybe complain too.

I believe it was fixed a while ago, but I had pull to refresh disabled as a workaround at the time (when they finally made it configurable).

The pull-to-refresh implementation is a prime example of a buggy feature that was pushed out too early and only underwent sufficent testing only after it reached users. Some of the issues stemming from it still weren't fixed even a year afterwards, and they appeared in places as critical as Google's search results page.

It's the GitHub link in my previous comment.

I found out that this may not be accurate. Looking at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/21175, pull-to-refresh is simply absent from release builds, and only present in nightly builds. I wish it worked properly there though.


Pull to refresh is not fixed; test at https://tasvideos.mistflux.net/.
