No event is dispatched when a physical contact with digitizer is made - Firefox (v40) Windows 8 touch screen


No event is dispatched when a physical contact with digitizer is made - Firefox (v40-42) Windows 8 touch screen


The title speaks for itself. 

I have come across this issue last week. After a short research I've noticed that Hammer.js developers started to investigate solutions and workarounds for the issue.

This issue relates to the following two Firefox cases documented in the following bugzilla cases:

Content touch-events on Firefox-desktop should be disabled until we can support them properly
Some sites won't touch-scroll using a touch-screen

I created this issue to get some more details about it and thankfully I found out that it will be solved in Firefox version 42.
