Touch is too sensitive in Android Firefox

[kornelski]

Firefox is copying a scrolling quirk/bug from WebKit, but has touch more sensitive than WebKit:

If I can't get spec and browsers to change, I'll have to work around it, sigh ;)

Thanks for the tip. That's a brilliant workaround, but it's also quite hacky. I'm a bit worried it could cause problems.

@pornel Not sure how useful this will be to you, but another method to try is to toggle pointer-events on your scrolling element instead of preventdefault which will stop sending touch events to webview. I think I should write a shim for this too :) "hacky" code is more stable now.
