Status: RESOLVED MOVED

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

You must have a text replacement set under Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.

In this example, let’s say you have a Text Replacement entry for “HO” that expands to “Heading out.”

If you want to do an internet search for “home improvement”, you would tap into the address bar and start typing “home improvement”

Actual results:

In the example above, if you start typing “ho”, it expands automatics to “Heading out”. Backspacing to the first “H” then typing “O” again will expand the text again to “Heading out”.

Expected results:

If you continued past the first two letters of “Home”, it should have let you finish typing the intended word and not expand the text replacement shortcut.
