Firefox: can I make it more touch screen friendly ? (Dianemo, LMCE)

[bulek]

Hello,

we haven't used Firefox as embedded web browser extensively... But now my wife discovered few sites about cooking& recipes and now my task is to bring it to Dianemo (probably similar also applies for LMCE).


I wonder if I can make embedded Firefox more touch screen friendly ?  The biggest problems are small buttons, sliders at the side, etc...
Is there any possibility (config options) to increase those little widgets to be more usable on touch screen ? 
Any other workaround to bring web sites to main touch screen ?

Thanks in advance,
regards,
bulek.

Even if the link is for windows, maybe it helps you as well. The google search term was: Firefox skin touch friendly.

Hi,

Quite some add-ons meant for touch screen friendliness of Firefox are not maintained anymore. But I found one quite useful tool -
Grab&Drag :

It solves the problem with small page slider on the right side... Now WAF has increased...

**Hmm...Posde pointed out I may have misunderstood your post originally. Having re-read it (while not doing 2 other things!) I think I did in fact misunderstand you as you are referring to how Firefox Embedded renders controls on a touch device for any Web page, and my original response was purely about our HTML5 based Athena UI. So I've removed my original post.

All the best
