FYI
dom.experimental_forms = true fixes.

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yep.  This is the behavior the spec requires if time inputs are not supported yet.  You'd get the same with <input type="somethingILike">.

I first notices this bug on FireFox OS where the input behaves as a time input but does not return the proper type when using javascript.

While this issue is similar to 825294, I found this issue while using the mobile Firefox browser on FireFoxOS and therefor I consider this to be a mobile browser issue. It should be noted that this issue does not exists on firefox browser for Android.

Last I've heard, "dom.experimental_forms" should be set to "true" in Firefox OS and Firefox for Android. Did that change?

Not to my knowledge. I think we're still supporting most form controls in B2G.

Checking with Vivien that that should still remain true.

What's the result?

Vivien, any reason that <input type=time> shouldn't work in B2G these days?

Nothing I know about. Sounds like the preference has landed in august though (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/38190b5c8d29) so I wonder if this could be that the  FirefosOS version used to check is too old.

Jezra, cwhich version of FirefosOS are you using?

I am using version 1.0.1.0 on a ZTE Open

Makes sense then. The fix has landed only on 1.2 iirc.

Argh. The patch has landed in August but 2012. Maybe there is something else here.
