Iframely iframes are not injected with content scripts
- Place cursor over an iframe on page
- Hold gesture button
- Move mouse
Expected: gesture trail appears, gesture activates once button is released
Actual: gesture trail does not appear, gesture does not activate, browser's context menu appears once button is released
I'm not sure if this is a (hopefully current?) limitation of WebExtensions, but it would be unfortunate if this can't be ported over from FireGestures.
Gestures work fine on iframes and framesets. Can you provide a sample page where it fails?
Hey, thank you for the quick response!
It looks like the issue appears only twitter frames provided by iframely (youtube and NYT seem to be working just fine). The first post on this page has an embedded tweet on it, and trying to start a gesture within the tweet area fails for some reason. See the circled area below:
It appears to be caused by the strange manner in which iframely renders its iframe embeds. See this Stackoverflow post. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18044073/iframe-without-src-but-still-has-content. The iframe never has a src with a URL, so Firefox never injects any content scripts. This is a potentially very difficult case to handle.
