[Back-end] Hive on FF 27 only with old-school dropdown navigation
Modernizr seems to receive false information from FF 27 about touch events, injecting touch into the HTML tag on desktop computers, whereas other browsers don’t. I did some googling and found this discussion on the Modernizr issues forum.
I wish Mozilla will fix that quickly. If they don’t I hope we can find an elegant workaround.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Hello Uli,
I had the same problem.
Since FF 27 or 26, it is possible to simulate touch events.
When you display Responsive View, You have a new button for active or desactive touch event.
I don’t know if I’m activated it by playing with this button, or with a shortcut, or it’s activated by default ?
In my case, using this button was not releasing the simulation.
If you want desactivate touch event simulation :
Go to about:config and modify dom.w3c_touch_events.expose.

That new feature was also my first idea for the failure candidate. But neither playing with it once more nor modifying the dom.w3c_touch_events.expose value did help, even across FF restarts. And, in the end, it needs an end-user friendly solution, so modifying the stylesheet will be the only way to help our clients.
Thanks anyway, for your help!

Not that this helps you now, but the next Hive admin theme update (on 4.6dev) will have a completely different navigation method for small devices. Doesn’t use touch tests either. Should be in next weekend sometime.
