Scrolling leads to a refresh of the website

I have the problem that Firefox does not correctly recognize when I want to scroll up on a web page. This often causes me to accidentally refresh the page. Usually this should only happen when I'm already at the top of the website and then swipe down again and not in the middle of the website. I have even tried Firefox Nightly and Klar, but the issue occurs with every browser. Is there perhaps some trick or hidden setting that causes the browser to scroll reasonably again instead of constantly refreshing the website?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi Dennis

If you open the Firefox for Android menu and select Settings, scroll down the list to Customise. You should then be able to turn off Pull to refresh.

This is something that our developers are looking into and hope to improve in a future update.

Hey Paul, thanks for the help. This solution is not perfect, but at least less frustrating than random refreshing. I still hope that this problem will be fixed soon. Is there any way to track this issue or be notified when it has been fixed?
