Filing this per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1545393#c8
Currently the layout.reflow.synthMouseMove
pref is enabled on Android, which results in unexpected (from a user's point of view) effects on touch devices. These include hover/mouseover effects being "pinned" to the screen position of the last tap after scrolling. STR can be seen here:

I plan to turn this pref back off on Android/Fenix, but filing this bug per Makoto's request in case there are other things we can do in Gecko to turn the pref back on without having these unexpected effects.

Note that this effect can be reproduced on Windows touchscreen tablets too, so it affects current desktop releases.
