User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0
Build ID: 20160210153822

Steps to reproduce:

Installed Firefox 2.0 (2006) on iPhone 5S running iOS 9.2.1 with third-party Swype keyboard (v1.6.3879)


Actual results:

No longer have the ability to use this third party keyboard, also with the default keyboard, there's no option for text-prediction anymore.  Just a basic keyboard


Expected results:

I expected to have the ability to use the Swype keyboard (which works fine in other apps) and at the very least, have predictive text available with the default keyboard.

Known issue. Third party keyboards are known to cause issues with Firefox. We've disabled support for the time being.

However we are also allowing one at their own will to re-enable third party keyboard with caution.

The bug I submitted (1237695, now closed as a duplicate of this) also mentions that the stock iOS keyboard text prediction isn't working either.  Is that something that is going to be addressed?
