Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1 Build ID: 20120907231835 Steps to reproduce: Requesting pointer lock via HTMLElement.requestPointerLock does not work. Test file is there: http://codeflow.org/issues/pointerlock-test.html click on either "Pointerlock" or "Fullscreen and Pointerlock" buttons. Actual results: The pointer was not locked. Expected results: According to the specification http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerlock/raw-file/default/index.html this code should lock the pointer. It does work in Chrome 22 that way.
Our current implementation only grants pointer lock requests when we're in fullscreen mode, in order to piggyback on the security/permission model of fullscreen. Bug 737100 is on file to grant pointer lock requests when not in fullscreen.
