It happens with all sticky footers on any site. I have the address bar on the top, but moving it to the bottom actually pushes the footer up higher. Could this be a bug caused by the fact that I have two screens (Moto Razr+)?

Usually I only see that sort of thing when an ad that would have taken up that space gets blocked but the page doesn't redraw to move the footer content.

Disabled all extensions and tracking protections and there was no difference.

Hmm, has me stumped, then. Could just be a poorly designed site and not necessarily a problem inherent with the browser.

It's all sites with a sticky footer though, not just this one. When I get home I was going to submit a bug report to Mozilla.

Doubt it. This happens a lot for me too on a boring single-screen S23.

I assumed it was crappy devs not testing on FF anymore & have lived with it (since it's a pain to debug css/js problems on mobile).

Next time I see it happening I'll reproduce on desktop FF with responsive emulation & report the bug.

I've seen this, and more than once. But don't know what it has to do with

Never seen that in Firefox on iphone.

Firefox on iPhone isn't Firefox in the way that matters here. All iOS browsers are forced to use Safari's rendering engine. iOS alternate browsers are just different UI and things like bookmark management on top of Safari.

Yes, this happens to me on m.youtube.com with Firefox for Android.
