951371 - irrcloud.com not loading properly in win8 touch mode

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 957501

(Firefox for Metro Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[juan becerra [:juanb]]

Tested on 2013-12-17 using latest nightly. When I load irrcloud.com on desktop mode and then go into Win8 touch mode, the page doesn't load all the elements that you can see in desktop mode, and you cannot use the functionality at all.

Steps:
1. Assuming you have an account on irrcloud.com, load it in desktop mode and login to it. If you connect to a server and channel by default, even better.
2. Go into Win8 touch mode from the customization menu

Expected: The site above loads and you can interact in IRC.

Actual: The page only loads a few elements, but you don't see the area where you would normally see the irc chat. I only waited half a minute, but that should have been enough to load completely.



Expected: I can

Doesn't seem to be a way to get an account. I've added myself to the beta waiting list.

The turn around time on a beta account is pretty quick. Basically when switching from desktop to metro, I get an empty tab instead of the site. Not a great user experience but I don't think this should block rollout. The site appears to load fine when manually navigating to it.
