I agree this behaviour is weird. When I look at iOS users on Safari, or Chrome, I feel like I'm using Windows 3.1.

Here's what I do on FF:

- When visiting a site, on the hamburger menu, there is a "add to main sites" icon, which adds the site to the home screen of Firefox.

- In the global prefs, I changed back to always displaying the location bar at the top, and always present (the scrolling was annoying me).

- We can long-press the tab icon, to open a new tab.

So if I'm on a site, and want to open HN:

- Long press "New Tab"

- Tap "HN" icon on the screen.

It's still annoying that it opens the keyboard by default. It sometimes adds a few milliseconds of lag, but I guess then search-heavy users would complain about the extra tap.
