Firefox android browsing question

I have one problem using Firefox for my android browsing, when i get to certain site and try to get to another one by typing address to bar Firefox does not register first typed ( pressed ) button ( letter) as first letter or new site. For example, when i click to address bar it gets highlighted at first as it should, but typing first letter will remove previous address and will not be registered as first letter of new site, second letter is registered ok. For example if i type mozilla.org i will get ozilla.org in address bar. This is very frustrating for everyday browsing. I am using Gboard keyboard with P30 pro and latest Firefox for android. I don't have problems like this while using Chrome. Think it is related with Gboard but there aren't many tweak options to play with.

Hi

In the Android Settings app, under Applications, find GBoard and clear the cache (not data) before restarting your device. Does this help?

Thanks Seburo, tried it but without success. Also noticed that i have same issue with Twitter app. It is for sure related with Gboard as i don't have this problem with Microsoft swift keyboard which is not even close to Gboard when it stands to features.

I recommend that you contact the GBoard support team as they should be able to help with this issue.
