[Bug] Unable to select "Accept the Risk and Continue" button on "Secure Connection Failed" dialog.

[philip-lamb]

Steps to reproduce

1. Have HTC 10 device (5" diagonal screen)
2. Visit https://untrusted-root.badssl.com/
3. Tap "Advanced".
4. Note that URL bar covers the button labelled "Accept the Risk and Continue", so wait for URL bar to auto-hide.
5. Tap "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Expected behavior

• Button is activated and browser proceeds to site.

Actual behavior

• Button cannot be selected by tapping, instead the previous element is selected, which is "Go Back (Recommended)". Page does not allow scrolling past last element.

Device information

• Android device: HTC 10, Android 8.0
• Fenix version: Nightly 200517 (Build #21380606)

Depends on: #6380

This appears to be a more general layout bug, in that buttons that appear behind the URL bar cannot be selected. Verified not present in Firefox Preview 5.0.0 (Build #21212137).

Maybe two or three weeks ago I ran into this bug for the first time because I started using daily a website with a self-signed certificate. It wasn't an issue because by zooming in I could still tap the "Accept the risk" button.

Since I upgraded Firefox Preview, zooming in is not enough. The button "Accept the risks" cannot be selected anymore.

I do not upgrade regularly Firefox Preview so I don't know which version made this bug worse. I just know for sure it was possible to tap by zooming with a version not older than 3weeks ago. I don't know if it helps and if tracking a regression would make sense here since even then it was already a bug. The button was usable, but just barely...

Like @philip-lamb, I think the button itself is working fine. It's probably a layout bug preventing us to click on it, maybe depending on the size of the screen ?

Steps to reproduce

Go to https://untrusted-root.badssl.com/
Tap "Advanced"
Try to tap "Accept the risk" --> doesn't work
Zoom in on this button
Try again to tap "Accept the risk" --> worked with a previous version, doesn't work anymore

Workaround

three dots on the bottom right -> Switch "force desktop mode" -> now the button works. Disabling the desktop mode refreshes the page in mobile mode. But since the warning has been accepted/bypassed succesfully once, it loads just fine.

I am having same issue on Samsung M20 the button is hidden behind UI.

Yep bug still present and the desktop site workaround doesn't work either for me on Galaxy S10

Bug still present in 80.1.2, but:

Maybe an intermediate workaround, as I have this painful issue every time my German Fritzbox router renews it's letsencrypt keys:

The issue DOES NOT happen when device is in landscape mode.

At least on my Nokia 7.2, Android 10

I had this issue recently. For me, it worked i Private tab but not regular tabs. Restarting did not help, but reinstalling helped.

This is still reproducible on Nightly 5/25 with Pixel 3 (Android 11).

Still happening on 89.1.1

I am unable to connect to local home sites due to this on my phone. Galaxy S10.

Switching to desktop does not work either.
