      I mean, Reddit isn’t the only website with these shitty popups. Surely there a general way to kill them other than disabling JavaScript entirely?

        Of course they can be disabled. But sites are not all built the same way, so there isn’t one silver bullet we can tell you about to disable them everywhere. On mobile it’s even more difficult because access to browser plugins is more limited, along with developer features within the browser.

        I also use FF on Android, and until recently was also using Reddit. There isn’t a good way to remove that bar.

    I think old.reddit.com bypasses it.

    Not responsive of course, but servicable

    If you’re running uBlock Origin, go into the addon settings, go to Filter Lists, and turn on the Annoyances filters. They’re not on by default, but should get rid of these kinds of “known” popups across popular sites.

      Specifically, it’s the Easylist - Notifications filter that seems to do it for Reddit.

        “AdGuard – Mobile App Banners” does the trick too.

    You can try requesting the desktop page or use old.reddit.com

      I did try to install this add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/ but the installation button is grayed out :(

        On Firefox Beta/Nightly you can enable Debugging Menu, by going to About on settings, and tapping the logo 3 times.

        There you can add Custom Add-on collection.

        You can create developer account on Mozilla, and add any add-on that you want.

          IIRC there the Iceraven add-on collection of the developer. Check what it have in it, if you don’t want to create an accout.

          It’s available widely online.

        Firefox on Android only allows a select few add-ons unless you install a nightly version or something. I don’t do it myself but it should be easy to Google

    You can click continue, at least until Reddit blocks Mobile browsers entirely, use a third party app, at least until Reddit kills them off, or stop using Reddit.

      Given the behaviour of apps, I think I will use only websites from now on.

      Does Firefox have a fine grained way to kill these scripts, or is disabling JavaScript for all websites the only option ?

      They lock mobile browsers entirely for NSFW subs unless you are logged in.
