Drop-down flickering on Lemmy website using Firefox for Android (self.firefox)

Anyone notice when on Lemmy and you go to choose some setting from the drop-down (Active, New, Old, Hot, etc) when using Firefox of Android, that the selection menu starts to flicker? I can select from it, but it does seem to interfere a bit doing so. Anyone else?

Might be the effects of that bug that's causing Lemmy to constantly scroll new posts that's going to be fixed in the next Lemmy update (0.18).

This is the latest Firefox for Android Beta, running on a Pixel 7 with Android 13.

Edit: Actually, this seems to also happen on desktop Firefox (stable on Linux), just maybe not as noticeable.

I have the same issue (Firefox on Android mostly, but sometimes also the desktop version on Windows).

This should theoretically all go away with the next Lemmy update where they remove WebSockets (No more syncing in the background, you'll have to navigate / refresh the page to see new content or notifications).

So probably just a temporary issue.

Yeah, I presume it's that, too, although it doesn't seem to affect Vivaldi, so could just be the way that Firefox reacts to the Lemmy issue.

Oh well, I look forward to Lemmy 0.18.
