Thanks for the report, I was able to reproduce the issue. The keyboard is not triggered when trying to type in the "Search" field.

Note: The issue is not reproducible on Chrome.

Tested with:
Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 90.0a1 (🦎 90.0a1-20210510093555)
Operating System: Samsung Galaxy S8 (Android 9) - 1440 x 2960 pixels, 18.5:9 ratio (~570 ppi density), Google Pixel 5 (Android 11) - 1080 x 2340 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~432 ppi density)

Moving to Needsdiagnosis for further investigation.

Looks like the input is disabled <input class="_34eUx _3e9e8" disabled="" value="" placeholder="ninebot max g30"> so the click event is not fired in Firefox. This is a case of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1653882

As a workaround, clicking on a search icon will make the search work. We can try to contact the site and maybe an intrvention is possible here.

Looks like @alibaba is on github. Hi @ralf0131 and @yuanyan we have this report that is affecting Firefox on Android users, wonder if you could pass this along to a relevant person or team at aliexpress? Thanks!

This seems to be fixed, I'm able to perform searches now both on mobile and desktop, with or without Intervention.
