1912665 - Long list of extension permissions hides button to install extension

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: WebExtensions, defect, P1)

Description

[Márton Gunyhó]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to install the Indie Wiki Buddy extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/indie-wiki-buddy/), which has a long list of individual domains for data access.

I have a really small phone (Unihertz Jelly 2, 3" 480x854 screen), which might affect this.

Actual results:

The list of permissions is scrollable, but the buttons to proceed or cancel the installation are not visible (presumably they are below the screen). See attached video.

Expected results:

I should see the buttons to "Add" or "Cancel" installing the extension.

Márton, thanks for reporting this issue. The video was very helpful for understanding the problem.

Thank you for reporting this bug and including the video.

This is something we are actually due to fix as part of another issue shortly, and I have linked this bug to that ticket internally to ensure it's captured.

This should be fixed by Bug 1901993 which added the NestedScrollview to the addons permissions fragment (here).

I've tested on very small phones via emulator as well as split screen versions of Firefox running (to limit vertical height) and because of the nested scrollview this should be fixed now. Uploading video to show as well.
