If the text box is too big compared to the font size, it is hard to see what I'm typing as whenever I place my cursor the windows zooms out and then I have to zoom in again. This is very irritating.

This is mainly an issue on desktop version of the sites (which is much superior in most cases)

I hope the issue is clear. Any input is appreciable

Hi Hitesh

When using Firefox for Android, the preference will be for a mobile version of a site to be displayed. Desktop mode is available and is useful, but sites may not be displayed to their best.

This is not so much an issue with Firefox for Android but is a result of the way that the underlying website has been designed.

Hi

These are two different browsers built differently by different groups of people. You may wish to try the new Firefox Preview browser to see if that is better for you.
