I have to trigger some methods specifically on the start of touch event in Firefox Windows touch screen (desktop). I have noticed that due to this bug (please vote up) touch events are disabled by default in Firefox (desktop). However, not even "mousedown" is triggered when you physically put your finger on the screen and hold it.
I know that you can enable touch events in
config:about
but I can't consider that as a solution as you cannot switch that on programmatically.
The sequence of events should be as follows (that's what it is in e.g. Chrome):
touchstart > [touchmove]+ > touchend > delay > mousemove > mousedown > mouseup > click
However, due to the bug mentioned above and the fact that we are dealing with touch devices the actual sequence is the following:
mousemove > mousedown > mouseup > click
Testbed - to show all of the events triggered
So as a result there is NO event triggered on the start of the screen touch?
My question, and a solution to the issue I face is - is it possible to listen to any events in Firefox (desktop) that are triggered as is "touchstart" in e.g. Chrome?
