1927322 - Buttons in bottom address bar are partially occluded by device corner radii on some devices

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Fenix :: Toolbar, enhancement, P3)

Description

Steps to reproduce:

Select Settings > Customize > Address bar location > Tap on "Bottom"

Actual results:

Address bar moved to the bottom, but it is located in a position that leads some device corner radii to occlude/cover some of the button's touch area (screenshots attached are for Pixel 9 Pro XL)

Expected results:

Ideally, the address bar should be aware of a device's safe areas and position itself "above" the curve. This problem doesn't occur when the bar is on the top because the status bar of the phone provides that "padding".

Rafael, thanks for reporting this issue and including the screenshots.

We're currently redesigning the address bar and toolbar (in bug 1894470), which will hopefully address this issue.

In the meantime, you can try testing the new toolbar in Firefox Nightly. Note that the new toolbar is randomly enabled for only 50% of Nightly users, so if you don't see the new "double decker" toolbar in Nightly, you might need to try uninstalling and reinstalling Nightly to try again.

Hello, :cpeterson! Thanks for the reply.

I can confirm that with the new toolbar/address bar in Nightly, the issue is gone and the button has enough padding! 🥳
