I'm sure that it can be useful for a lot of people but for me magnifier's popup (on android) always getting in a way and makes text selection so much harder.

Is there any way to disable this feature, any entry in about:config for that, I'd like to turn it off browser wise?

Thanks @[email protected], solution:

  • about:config
  • layout.accessiblecaret.magnifier.enabled
  • false
