Firefox for Ubuntu Touch (uFirefox)
-
@DJac said in Firefox for Ubuntu Touch (uFirefox):
because it works on Mobian, is it possible to adapt a .deb application in .click ?
Normally yes! But what do you mean by "it runs", because Firefox also runs on Ubuntu Touch doesn't it? The main problem is no running, but how well the UI is adapted to mobile screen.
If Mozilla published a version of Firefox for Linux but with an interface for small screens very similar to the one for Android it would be awesome, and we would be able to port it to Ubuntu Touch easily (especially after Mir2.x is released but even before).

I mean : it works better on Mobian. :
- On UT, it is not realy smooth. probably a problem with phone performance..?
- actually, the screen is not well adapted.
- I found problem in parameters : the drop-down menus won’t open with tactile.
- Other problem : the keyboard won’t open after i hide it once…
These problems made it unusable at daily and don't existe with the mobian version.

I agree with that !
And like the Mobian version i use is more in this direction (tabs bar on the bottom, better screen adaptation...), i am curious to compare it. -

Also in the mean time, for the keyboard problems I have done some work on the keyboard for Signal UT, and will do some further for Min browser. I have also found some improvements on how the Gtk/X11 applications run in general, and uFirefox could probably benefit a lot from it. I've had a call about that for uWolf with @chromiumos-guy .

It seems Droidian have their own modified version of Firefox with some UI adaptation:

The last version is relatively usable.

I usually turn off word prediction to avoid that. It's usually more trouble than it's worth anyhow.

@projectmoon
no probleme for me with backspace.
but i don't made full tests...
update : the probleme existe, only in the text box of the webpages (not for the app's texte box).- drop down menu (already) don't works in parameters.
- after hyding keyboard, it won't re-pop.
- the app shutdown when I try to download a pdf file (but i can read it in the browser)
