On the latest Firefox Nightly builds (I use Nightly for extensions), holding the back button in the Android navigation bar no longer brings up previous pages, like it does when holding the back button in the three dot menu. Is there a config option to bring this back?

For some reason, every time I log in to Gmail and start writing a name in the email column, just after writing 2 characters, Firefox immediately freezes. I've reinstalled, I've cleared all data (browsing history, cookies and cache), I've reset, but the problem still exists. But if I log in with another account, Gmail can be accessed smoothly.

I can't figure out how to open an url like "http://fritz.box" or "192.168.178.10.1". Either Firefox starts a search or auto completes the address to "https://fritz.box". This address can not be resolved locally. If anyone happens to read this and could help me please, I just want to open the configuration page of my router. And I can't do it with Firefox for Android - so it seems. Thank you for your time!

'add to home screen' doesn't do what he says

When I open a URL for example: Le Monde , and I decide to add this URL to home screen using the 'add to home screen' function (picture 1), I am in reality creating a shortcut to an app (pictures 2,3). Actually, I would like to decide whether I create a shortcut to a URL or to an app. I add that in the advanced options of the settings, I declared 'never open links in app' (picture 4). I expected the 'add to home screen' function to respect this setting. I manage to get around this problem by using a third party app that creates a shortcut to the home screen, but I would prefer that the dedicated function in Firefox the works.
