Anyone notice when on Lemmy and you go to choose some setting from the drop-down (Active, New, Old, Hot, etc) when using Firefox of Android, that the selection menu starts to flicker? I can select from it, but it does seem to interfere a bit doing so. Anyone else?

Might be the effects of that bug that’s causing Lemmy to constantly scroll new posts that’s going to be fixed in the next Lemmy update (0.18).

This is the latest Firefox for Android Beta, running on a Pixel 7 with Android 13.

Edit: Actually, this seems to also happen on desktop Firefox (stable on Linux), just maybe not as noticeable.

    While it doesn’t resolve the actual issue, on android there are 2 apps you could use instead. Jerboa for example (installable at least on fdroid)

      Thanks, but I know of the app. However, I’m really doing this to check if Firefox for Android has a problem with Lemmy or not. It’s not really making it that difficult to navigate Lemmy, just a little harder. I’ve checked with Vivaldi’s Android browser, and the issue isn’t there. So it seems to be Firefox specific.

      Anyway, I’d rather not have to install an app if I can get away with not doing so.

      Still, thanks for the suggestion. Even if I don’t want the app, others might well be interested who don’t know about it.
