How come when I hit the HAMBERGER(MENU) button. I This is add on to my question please. I noticed that when I hit the [F-2] KEY on my Keyboard that the MAIN MENU opens. I should be able to hit it again, and have the MENU in this APP would open, but I or the MENU of a specific page would open. This function should be available for greater ACCESSIBILITY ♿. REMEMBER THE FIRST HIT WOULD OPEN THE FIREFOX MENU, AND THEN AND A SECOND HIT WOULD OPEN THE MENU IN THE PAGE I'M USING IF THERE IS A MENU.

Hi

Please appreciate that there is a difference between the controls on a page and the controls of the web browser (in this case Firefox for Android).

Not all pages have a hamburger menu while on some pages you may need the same Firefox for Android options.

Hi Lightsttn1 here. Someone answered my original message about the Hamburger button. To that person. First I can't easily read this text easily, so I will try not to make too many mistakes, but my ANDROID device will make those I didn't in the first place. Now on to the original question about the Hamburger button. It is the Menu button. Just some browsers will actually tell you this. When I asked was bjust after I was using a browser, and wanted to know whether it was, or not. If someone refers to the Hamburger Menu button. There are actually 2 types of menus. The Hamburger menu is actually sown at the top of this dialog. It has 3 Horizontal lines that look sorta like a sandwich. Some browsers might actually place a picture of a Hamburger on the page where the menu button is found. If you hit the hamburger button on most browsers. It will open the main menu. It should open the menu on this page first. Then if you hit it again it should open the main browser menu. I say this because I'm in a dialog within Firefox, so it should trigger the dialod's menu. Then if I hit it again it should open the main browser's menu you open with the 3 virtical dots. That doesn't happen, it only opens the main browser menu

Hi

Thank you for your feedback.

We need to make Firefox for Android easy to use for many people all over the world. I do like your idea of a multiple tap on the menu icon bringing up the context menu for the page, I am just not sure how this may work in practise. Certainly something I will mention to our developers to consider.

Thank you again for your feedback.
