Details

(Whiteboard: [windows10][qx]) 

When the on-screen keyboard in Windows 10 appears, it obscures the lower part of the Firefox window and it is impossible to scroll further down in order to get those parts of the page into view.
Edge solves this problem by automatically shrinking the window when the on-screen keyboard appears so that every part of the page can be scrolled into view.
Firefox should follow this behavior as well.
Does this happen outside of tablet mode as well?

FWIW, I don't think this is achievable within the 45 timeframe, so I'm removing it from the tracker.

In Edge, the window only shrinks when in tablet mode.
In Firefox, the window never shrinks.

Hmm. In tablet mode, we have limited control over our window size. If you have a normal (non-maximized) size Firefox window and go into tablet mode, it gets 'maximized' by Windows. I don't know how the shrinking is implemented, but it seems likely to be a specific API, potentially also one only provided to modern apps. Do any other "old" apps like IE11 shrink appropriately?
