1352409 - [meta] Give user choice to disable gamepad (and VR controller) haptic feedback

Status: NEW

(Core :: WebVR, enhancement)

Description

[:kip (Kearwood Gilbert)]

We have recently landed support for haptic feedback (vibration) with VR controllers such as HTC Vive controllers and Oculus Touch.  These controllers are exposed through the gamepad API, so this may apply to controllers outside of VR as well.

Some users may wish to disable haptic feedback due to personal preference or for accessibility reasons.  (Vibration may cause physical pain for some users)

We would like to make this a user choice, available within the Firefox settings UI.
