Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0

Steps to reproduce:

I am using firefox on Fedora 34 (issue persists on both wayland and X11) with a touch screen.

when the firefox window is covered by another window, then uncovered and restored to focus touch input no longer works correctly.

Remedial steps attempted include setting the environment variable MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 to 1 this made no change.

Actual results:

After focus is restored to the window touching links or buttons no longer activates them, instead they behave as if the mouse were hovering over them. This applies to both the page and firefox's UI.

on one occasion while testing the UI stopped responding to all touch events altogether.

Expected results:

After restoring focus touch events should continue to work as normal, with tapping on the a link or button activating it, and dragging on the screen scrolling the page.
