1913145 - [Toolbar Redesign] It's possible to tap/click through the navigation toolbar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: Toolbar, defect, P2)

Description

[fmbarina]

Attachment: Gif of user tapping through the navigation bar and hitting link behind it.

Steps to reproduce:

Tested on Firefox Nightly 131.0a1. With the new navigation bar enabled:

1. Open any website. I find it easier with a text or link dense page.
2. Scroll to a position in which an interactive item (selectable text, links, buttons, etc) sits behind the navigation toolbar.
3. Tap an area between navigation toolbar icons (e.g. forward and new tab) to interact with the item.

Actual results:

The thing hidden behind the navbar is interacted with.

Expected results:

I'd expect the browser to either treat my tap as though it was meant for the closest button, or to ignore it entirely. I don't think it's common to want to click things hidden behind UI.

I have also seen this behavior. I touch a link on a website and it doesn't open, but if I touch it a little lower the link opens, I think it has the same connection with this description.
