Pull-down to refresh is *awfully* annoying. It is extremely easy to trigger it when zooming in/out trying to see detail in a photo. If cellular connectivity is poor, it is more annoying.

The reported method to disable this feature appears to have been remvoed: Settings -> Customize -> Gestures -> Pull to refresh.

Please restore this option.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

Hi, pull to refresh is indeed so annoying. But if you open the settings and tap About > Firefox five times, more settings appear. In particular, there is the option Toggle Pull to Refresh.

Ah, I did not know how to reveal that option; I thought it had been completely removed.

However, it does not seem to change the behavior, even after restarting the application.
