You cannot remove it. Focus requests the keyboard to not remember anything you type.

This makes firefox focus too annoying to use. Is there really no other solution than uninstalling the app? This has only happened recently. Was it added with a recent update?

Hi

If you wish to use a mobile browser that does not have this protection, you may which to try Firefox for Android which is availabel from the Google Play Store.

I want the features of firefox focus, but without the corrupted keyboard.

Why can't I have my old keyboard back?

It seems this is a feature of SwiftKey, in private mode. In Gboard it also displays such a graphic, but behind the keys. I could not find an option to disable this under SwiftKey settings.
