Hi, :zmckenney, this issue is still reproducible on the latest Firefox for Android versions (Nightly 116.0a1, Beta 115.0b9, RC 114.2.0 and RC 115.0 build 1) with Huawei MediaPad M2 (Android 5.1.1).

Is there any additional information we can provide here? If so, please let us know how we can help. But until further notice I will remove the we-verify+ flag.
