2032567 - QR Code Scanner is no longer available (replaced with Google Lens Prototype which doesn't seem to be able to scan QR codes)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 2032573

(Firefox for Android :: Search, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a new tab and focus the URL bar.
2. Look for a QR code scanner button.

Expected behavior

QR code scanner UI should be available somewhere, to let users visit QR-code-encoded URLs.

Actual behavior

QR code scanner UI has been replaced with Google Lens prototype (an icon with a little cartoon landscape-painting).

Device information

• Firefox version: 151.0a1
• Android device model: Pixel 6a, Pixel 10 Pro XL
• Android OS version: 16

Any additional information?

Here's the regression-range pushlog for this change:

In there, I'm assuming this was from bug 2024375 (that seems to be what added the new button, which presumably is responsible for the QR code scanner button disappearing).

Ah, I just noticed bug 2028573 comment 2, "QR code detection moved to a future update for this entry flow." So maybe this is a known defect - if there's already a bug filed on getting this working, feel free to dupe to that one.
