(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

Currently using Mozilla/5.0 (Android; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.3a4pre) Gecko/20100427 Namoroka/3.7a4pre Fennec/1.1b1 on a Motorola Milestone (Droid) [1], the virtual keyboard is not enabled on tap of the URL bar. This is a must for those who do not use the hard keyboard on small devices.

Fixed. Try a nightly build. Virtual keyboard was supported in the pre-alpha build but a bug prevented it from working on devices with a keyboard.
