Firefox Android Problems
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2016 7:14 pm
Problem:
1) Running Firefox on Android device.
2) Viewing BDW forums.
3) Touch any 'supposed' hot spot - like go to last post in a topic in some forum
4) Touch is completely ignored - simply does not register.
Sometimes, the topic header will be highlighted, but the hotspot will not fire.
I even zoom the image to grow the size of the hotspot to closer to that of my finger, and it still doesn't work.
This sounds like a bug in Firefox Android to me, because the problem does not occur in Chrome. HOWEVER, it may be the way the forum software builds the page confuses Firefox somehow.
I also have a Windows Phone device but have not checked the compatibility there.
Also, when will there be a mobile version? I seem to remember a lot of agitation over the lack of mobile support over on TOS - what is the roadblock now?
EDIT: or is it the way the Forum software handles the Touch Events that Firefox gives it - maybe Firefox is actually passing a TouchEvent instead of converting it to a Mouse Click (because the Page is not a 'mobile' app) where-as Chrome converts it to a mouse click?
