Issues with Firefox

In this article

Slide background parallax

Firefox cannot handle the slide background parallax, so we turn it off there.

Parallax + blur on scroll

Affected browser(s) Mac Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report View
Status Awaiting for fix
Available workaround No

Problem description

Slide background images flicker during page scroll, when they're blurred and the parallax effect is used on them.

Zoom problem

Affected browser(s) Windows Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report  View
Status Awaiting for fix
Available workaround No

Problem description

When zoomed to 90% the slider background can't cover the slider properly. the problem only occurs on 90% zoom.

Rendering issue

Affected browser(s) All Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report View
Status Awaiting for fix
Available workaround No

Problem description

At the Split Slider demo sometimes the menu disappears because of a Firefox rendering issue.

Hovered layer disappears

Affected browser(s) All Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report View
Status Awaiting for fix
Available workaround Remove hoverable element

Problem description

When you hover over a layer, because of the same rendering issue mentioned before, Firefox will make some elements disappear on hover because of the most basic CSS codes, like:

a:hover { color: blue; }

An available workaround is not to use hoverable elements, like <a> links. Our layers (for example Button layer, Image layer) are using <a> links, so you shouldn't use them. But Row, Col and Slide elements are only using JavaScript links, what you could use.

Blur on page with scrolltop on Mobile

Affected browser(s) Android Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report View
Status Awaiting for fix
Available workaround No

Problem description

The page becomes jumpy when blurred elements (like the blurred background in case of the Blur fit fill mode) are on the page, during a page scroll top. Only mobile devices are affected

Showcase slider

Affected browser(s) Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report View
Status Resolved in Firefox 87.0
Available workaround Update your Firefox or turn off Rotate X and Rotate Y

Problem description

When Rotate X or Rotate Y is used, the rotated slides look weird and different than for example in Chrome.

Transition layer

Affected browser(s) Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report View
Status Awaiting for fix
Available workaround No

Problem description

The Transition layer has a weird skewing on hover.

Youtube and Vimeo video is not clickable

Affected browser(s) Firefox
Affected slider type All
Official bug report View
Status Awaiting for fix
Available workaround Turn off force fullwidth

Problem description

The Youtube and Vimeo layer's video is not clickable on Firefox, or its controls are off, like you cannot click on the video's timeline, volume adjustment.

This issue is caused by a Firefox bug, which messes up the video's clickable area while certain CSS codes are used, what we are using too with force fullwidth at Fullwidth and Fullpage sliders. If your slider is in a fullwidth placement, you can turn off force fullwidth, and then this issue shouldn't happen.

Absolute positioned texts are blurry

Affected browser(s) Firefox
Affected slider type All
Available workaround Don't use absolute positioning on texts

Problem description

With absolute positioning, Firefox and possibly other browsers are unable to render texts without blurring them a little bit. You should only use default positioning for texts, to get the sharpest result.

Mobile firefox doesn't allow page scrolling to be stopped

Affected browser(s) Mobile Firefox
Affected slider type All

Problem description

On mobile when you try to swipe between slides, you might scroll the page a little bit too. On Firefox this behavior cannot be stopped.
