(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Toolbar, defect, P1)

Description

I'm using Firefox Beta for Android, and sometimes links on a page become unclickable anymore, but if you long press on link, it can be selected like normal text. Don't have a stable steps to reproduce at this moment.

Yeah I've seen this a number of times as well but cannot nail down STR. It's very annoying. I suspect it's a bug in APZ hit-testing or the callback transforms.

possible dup Bug 1265251 - Tapping links on website doesn't work ?

When that happens, zooming in doesn't help either.

And there was one time when I met this issue, I also found tapping text control wouldn't make it get focus. However, long pressing and selecting the text inside the text control made the text control get focus.

That was closed for WFM... But given we haven't worked out a reliable STR, it is hard to say whether it is really fixed.
