Steps to reproduce:

  1. Visit a site
  2. Click a link
  3. Long-press the Android back button.

Actual results:

No history panel shows up.

Expected results:

The history panel shows up with the current tab's history (and "future" if we have already gone back some).

Note that using the software button that can be added near the address bar behaves correctly.

I cannot reproduce this issue on nightly or release. Could you update the version of Firefox you have and re-open this bug if you continue to face the same issue?

I was going to say I can still repro on 154.0 and reopen but then I had an idea while typing.

I usually have the back button on the right, but on my phone (with Oxygen OS) it can be swapped to the other side. No clue if this is stock android functionality.

Swapped it to the left, and the long press worked fine.
Swapped it again back to the right, and the long press worked fine.

So weird but definitely an OS issue. Thanks for the help, glad thare's nothing broken!
