Attachment: can't press let's go with the xbox controller.png

Found in

• Firefox 151.0

Affected versions

• Firefox 151.0

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: Windows 11, Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 26.5

Preconditions

• Have a controller connected via cable or bluetooth/wireless

Steps to reproduce

1. Access GFN
2. Launch any game inside the browser
3. Wait for the gaming rig to be prepared

Expected result

• After the gaming rig is ready, a Let's go button appears and can be pressed by the controller

Actual result

• After the gaming rig is ready, a Let's go button appears which cannot be pressed by the controller

Additional notes

• The button can be seen in the attachment
• After further investigations with jrmuizel, the controller may be detected differently from Chrome in Hardwaretester webpage.
• Seems that on macOS 26.5, the controller (Xbox one) is detected as 045e-0b20-Xbox Wireless Controller, the buttons can be pressed inside the page, but it cannot be used at all in GFN (Chrome works as expected)

Catalin, if you click through that button does the game pad work for controlling the game?

Yes, after passing by it with the mouse, the actual game menu and gameplay works as expected (so far tried on Rocket League and War Thunder).

I can reproduce this.

This issue also happens with a DualSense controller but there is a workaround it using the touchpad on the controller and it acts like a mouse so you can click on the "Let's go" button.

Comment 5

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

The button operates via the onBridgeButtonClick(). In Chrome I see it being triggered with a 'Enter' KeyboardEvent that's coming from code like _.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent(y, {...e(a))
