Even a ridiculously minimal test-case shows that selects are just not opening their "drop down" in Focus:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body>
<select>
  <option>1</option>
  <option>2</option>
</select>                                   
</body></html>

Note that this also affects date pickers.

I have the same issue and eat about to create a bug, thanks for reporting it. The issue does not persist in Firefox preview so using that for now.

I have same problem with ProDirectSelect shop (try to tap the "please select a size" box).
It dosn't work in the Firefox Focus. However, it works normally in the regular Firefox for Android.
In both cases the latest stable versions on the same device.
Weird.

Hi! I'm trying to understand why this hasn't been fixed yet.
It is really messing with my workflow. I've been going back to chrome more and more in the last few weeks because of this. 😔

Is there anything I can do to help fix this?

There is already a fix, but it's not yet distributed via Google Play Store. You can test a pre release version with a fix: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/releases/tag/v8.0.24

Right, 8.0.24 is now deployed to release, so we can close this bug now. If there are new bugs reports, those should be new issues.
