I am trying out bookmarklet functionality on a mobile platform (Android 10). The bookmarklet is named test and points to the code

javascript:alert('boo')

How I test:

  1. Save the bookmarklet as described above to the bookmarks folder;
  2. Go to some random website;
  3. In the address bar, start typing test;
  4. The browser will recognize the bookmark and offer it in a menu;
  5. Click it.

Results:

  • In Brave for Android (Chrome-based) the alert window appears as expected;
  • In Firefox for Android absolutely nothing happens.

Question:

Is this intentional on Mozilla's part and/or expected or am I missing something?

Thank you! I've chosen this as a solution.

It's ironic: last night the big Firefox-for-Android update hit, with a double whammy:

  1. remove most add-on functionality, thus rendering Tampermonkey unusable;
  2. also disable bookmarklets.

In any case, thanks for pointing out the github issue; I suppose I can always reinstall once some semblance of usability has been restored.
