Webcompat issues
(a selection of some of the bugs worked on this week).
- WebKit css for hiding/showing the menu bar on a responsive layout, it will be solved on Firefox 49
- Almost every week, we are adding issues to the HLS/M3U8 bug. That's the top report we currently get on webcompat.
- Yet another example that any hacks will break in the future. On this bug, the links are not working in Firefox. A strange rule
x:-moz-any-link, x:defaultwas applied to the CSS. This was ignored by other browsers. It seems it is a Firefox 3.0 hack which is widely distributed through sites like CSS Tricks. They also do strange things when usingselect. - WebP support in mod_pagespeed is full of user agent sniffing. I followed the trail of different updates. And because this specific Web site probably relies on an older version of
mod_pagespeedit breaks in Firefox Android. The irony is that it will probably break in the future if finally WebP is supported by Gecko. - Some outreach contact leads are very hard to find. If you know someone working for SMASH or FujiRock festival, please tell me.
- Funky issues with a JavaScript for cutting out text through canvas which doesn't work currently in Firefox.
- We have a recurring issue with a newsletter/sweepstake web site. I haven't nailed down what was happening.
