This used to work, but as of several weeks ago, stopped. I noticed on Photography first but it's not just limited to that.

If I click on

  • upvote or downvote,
  • upvote comment, or
  • flag comment,

nothing happens.

Switching to the mobile theme makes it work, but then I can't tell what site I'm on at a glance, and on Photography, I loose the photo of the week header, and I'm missing other functionality.

FWIW, everything seems fine in Chrome on the same phone.

I don't think it's due to the hotspot being very small. Sometimes, apparently at random (and very rarely), it does work, but I can't replicate by very carefully hitting the same spot. Also, zooming in and very carefully going over the whole button doesn't help.

  • As mentioned in meta.math.stackexchange.com/q/21607/2687, this is due to the hotspot being very, very small for some reason. The strange thing is, the upvote/downvote buttons are actual links (<a>), so you'd think browsers would treat them as hotspots automatically.

  • If you say it's new behaviour "as of several weeks ago", I'm tempted to roll back to a previous version of Android Firefox (if available) and see how it goes.

  • Yeah, it's definitely something that's changed. I'm not sure how easy it is to try old versions — my phone's not rooted and the stock app distribution methods certainly don't make that easy.

  • I usually use adb to sideload apps. (I don't root my phone either.)

Huh, well, as of now, it's working again. Not sure if it was something on the Stack Exchange side or a Firefox update (42.0.2).
