Well said. I wish I could upvote this comment more than once.
Many of these changes were done to unify the UI across platforms. Yet using Firefox on iPadOS is an even worse experience than on desktop. Tapping on the URL bar has the same select-all behavior, and it always takes me several taps in order to place the cursor where I want it, in order to change part of the URL. It's absolutely infuriating.
Not to mention that it ignores arrow keys on the Smart Keyboard Folio to clear the selection, so it forces you to use awkward and imprecise taps. /facepalm
And I constantly run into major UI bugs, like tabs getting confused and showing blank or wrong titles; sometimes tapping marks the tab as selected instead of switching to it; sometimes tapping on links inexplicably opens them in a new tab, etc.
How these issues continue to plague a browser as popular as FF is beyond me. It almost feels like it's never tested by developers and designers and updates are just pushed indiscriminately.
I'm considering just giving up and using Safari, since that's what I'm using anyway behind the awful FF UI.
