I have one major problem with Firefox for Mobile - it hijacks swipe left/right events and libraries like jQuery Mobile can not detect swiping.
Other than that I think it is great that there is a good alternative to the stock Android browser.
- mcpherrinm 15y agointeresting problem. Have you filed a bug about swipe events? The tablet UI doesn't rely on sideways swipes like the phone UI does: I would be interested to find out how it works with swipe events. Is there a test page I can try? Posted from Firefox Mobile nightly!
- EastSmith 15y agoThe bug is fixed in the Firefox Mobile nightly for Android. Here is some jQuery Mobile demo for detecting swipe events: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2011/3/26/Another-experiment-in-jQuery-Mobile-swipe-navigation http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2011/3/26/Another-ex... I though the article is about Firefox Mobile, bit it was for Firefox Mobile tablet interface. I then went to Android Market and downloaded Firefox Beta, which turns out still has this bug. Then downloaded Firefox Mobile Nightly (for Android ) and it turns out they fixed it. But there is new one, which I think is related to the fixed bug - they always show the tabs on the left. And yes, I now have Android tablet with three Firefox browsers installed.
