Description

The screen dims, but nothing appears. This is on my Galaxy Nexus running JB.

Does not work in NSA++ either, http://noscript.net/nsa/latest/

Tested on an HTC Desire HD running JB.

First time the screen dims, and nothing appears (seems an initialization problem).
Then, after fiddling with the back button, sometimes (apparently random) it starts displaying the options but changing the selection requires clicking twice because the popup seems to be dismissed and shown again once.

Another thing that happens is that SelectionHelper doesn't fire any post-selection event (e.g. oncommand) for menulists, while it does fire onchange for HTML select elements, so there's no way to be notified of the selection change (other than listening for the click event).

Since I'm going forward with NSA++ dev builds and using custom-styled buttons[type=radio] which are ugly but work reasonably (BTW, XUL radiogroups kinda work but don't display any flag icons), please refer to this build rather than latest (URL above):

I've seen this issue before but it seems to be resolved. At least on Samsung Galaxy SII with Android 4.1 running Firefox 22 the selection shows up correctly for me - don't have any device with JB around to test.

I filed bug 891736 for the missing selection event, that's a different issue.

With Firefox 57 only WebExtensions are supported and options are HTML pages.
