[Bug]: Make Settings Screen Adaptive

As we strive to provide a seamless user experience across various devices, it's essential to ensure that our application's settings screen is adaptive and responsive to different screen sizes. In this article, we'll delve into the issue of the non-adaptive settings screen on mobile devices and explore possible solutions to make it work on smaller screens.

Before we dive into the details of the issue, let's go through the pre-submission checklist to ensure that we've covered all the necessary steps:

Existing/Closed Issues: We've checked the existing/closed issues to ensure that this issue has not already been reported.
Latest Browser Version: We're using the latest supported version of the browser, which is 11.24.
Browser Extensions/Add-ons: We've tried disabling all browser extensions/add-ons to rule out interference from these.
Browser Cache and Cookies: We've tried clearing the browser cache and cookies to ensure that the issue is not caused by any temporary data.
New Profile: We've checked with a new profile and the issue still occurs, indicating that it's not a profile-specific issue.
Detailed Instructions: We've provided detailed step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the issue.
Relevant Screenshots/Console Outputs: We've included relevant screenshots or console outputs to help diagnose the issue.
Latest Firefox ESR: We've checked that this problem is not occurring in the latest version of Firefox ESR.
Browser-Specific Issue: This issue is specific to this browser and does not occur in other browsers.

The issue at hand is that the settings page on Floorp is not adaptive, unlike the one provided by FuriLabs in FLX1. The settings page on Floorp is not responsive to smaller screen sizes, making it difficult to make changes. We'd like to include the patches from FuriLabs in Floorp to make the settings page work on mobile devices as well.

To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

Open the settings page on a GNU/Linux phone, such as FLX1, Librem 5, or Pinephone.
Observe the settings page and note that it's not adaptive to smaller screen sizes.

The expected behavior is that the settings page should adapt to smaller screen sizes, making it easier to navigate and make changes.

The actual behavior is that the settings page is not adaptive, and it's hard to make changes due to the horizontal scrolling required.

We've attached relevant screenshots to help diagnose the issue.

The browser version we're using is 11.24.

The operating system we're using is FuriOS, which is based on Debian Trixie with an Android kernel.

We've installed Floorp from Flathub.org on an arm64 device.

To make the settings screen adaptive, we can consider the following possible solutions:

Responsive Design: Implement a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes and devices.
Media Queries: Use media queries to apply different styles based on the screen size and device type.
Mobile-Specific Styles: Create mobile-specific styles that override the default styles for smaller screen sizes.
JavaScript-Based Solutions: Use JavaScript-based solutions, such as jQuery Mobile or Framework7, to create a responsive and adaptive interface.

In conclusion, the non-adaptive settings screen on Floorp is a significant issue that needs to be addressed. By including the patches from FuriLabs and implementing a responsive design, we can make the settings page work on mobile devices as well. We'll continue to explore possible solutions and provide updates on the progress.

In the future, we'll focus on implementing a responsive design and testing it on various devices to ensure that it works as expected. We'll also provide regular updates on the progress and any issues that arise during the implementation process.
