Describe the Bug

Hoarder's addon on Firefox on Android does not let user to leave from the addon's UI after adding a site to Hoarder. Back buttons (both on the addon and Android's own back button) just keep reloading the UI.

Hitting back button rapidly enough does help though, but then you might end up going back in browsing history accidentally.

See attached video:

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Hoarder's addon from Firefox's addons menu
  2. Configure it to use your Hoarder service
  3. Open a page you want to add
  4. Poke Hoarder's addon entry in browser's menu
  5. Try to back to out from Hoarder's UI once done

Expected Behaviour

Hitting back button should close Hoarder addon's UI.

Yea, it does indeed work. I... didn't even think of poking it. I just assumed that the back button would close the UI. That X button is not really obvious, I think.

But, yea, not a bug then. User error :)

I think this is still a bug. The system back button should work here.
