 Replying to [comment:6 torlove]:
 > Thanks for above responses. It's not good behaviour. It doesn't make
 sense and makes Fennec, and by extension Tor, less user friendly.

 I agree this is not user friendly, unfortunately I highly doubt this will
 be fixed in Fennec. If there is any hope of fixing this in Firefox on
 Android then we should look at Firefox Preview (Fenix) and advocate for
 this functionality there.

 I'm going to close this as wontfix because we'll be migrating to Fenix in
 the near future, and implementing this in the current browser will require
 significant time which won't yield much benefit. We can look at this again
 in the future if Fenix doesn't provide a good experience - but #31295
 should solve this for `torproject.org` signatures, at least.
