STR: 1. Load http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb 2. Scroll down to the list of "TOP NEWS" articles 3. Tap a TOP NEWS article's title or picture AR: Nothing happens! ER: Tapping or clicking the article title or picture should load the article page. These links work correctly on Chrome Beta, ICS stock browser, Gingerbread stock browser, Mac Chrome desktop browser, Mac Safari desktop browser, and Mac Firefox desktop browser. This page seems to be using some JS tricks for link navigation, BUT I do not think this is a case of webkit-only code because the links work correctly with the Mac Firefox desktop browser.
Sounds like bug 719017
When I try to click those links on Fennec, I get this error in logcat: E/GeckoConsole(17069): [JavaScript Error: "ReferenceError: WebKitCSSMatrix is not defined" {file: "http://s.huffpost.com/assets/js.php?f=sprintf-0.7.js%2Cjquery.js%2Cjquery%2Fjquery.I18N.js%2Clocale%2Fdefault.js%2Chp_app.js%2Chuff.js%2Chp_track.js%2Chp_config.js%2Ccookiesmin.js%2Cfacebook.js%2Chp_util.js%2Chp_browser.js%2Csnproject.js%2C_tmp%2Fmodal.js%2C_tmp%2Fuser_poll.js%2C_tmp%2Fquick_snp.js%2C_tmp%2Fquick_login.js%2C_tmp%2Fquick_facebook_invite.js%2C_tmp%2Ffan_action.js%2C_tmp%2Fquick_subscribe_user.js%2C_tmp%2Fquick_signup.js%2C_tmp%2Fquick_fan.js%2C_tmp%2Fsay_it.js%2C_tmp%2Fquick_contribute.js%2C_tmp%2Flightbox_search.js%2C_tmp%2Femail_alerts.js%2Chuffconnect.js%2Cprovider.js%2Cmodal_window.js%2Cpopup_manager.js%2Cmobile%2Fauth.js%2Cmobileweb%2Fnews%2Fiscroll-min.js%2Cmobileweb%2Fmobile_metrics.js%2Cmobileweb%2Fnews%2Fnews.js&v79534" line: 4264}] The page has a touch event handler which assumes webkit, and tries to do some webkit-ism. This blows up (but not before canceling the default action of the touch event, I believe) so we never trigger the click. On desktop this works fine because the touch event listeners are not run, we just run the click listener directly. Moving to evangelism, they should stop giving us broken code.

Also, for future reference, the JS code in question looks something like this: e.stopPropagation();that.scrolling=true;that.moved=false;that.distX=0;that.distY=0;that.setTransitionTime('0');if(that.options.momentum||that.options.snap){matrix=new WebKitCSSMatrix(window.getComputedStyle(that.element).webkitTransform);if(matrix.e!=that.x||matrix.f!=that.y){document.removeEventListener('webkitTransitionEnd',that,false);that.setPosition(matrix.e,matrix.f);that.moved=true;}}
Apparently this is a Top-30 mobile site that needs some evangelism magic.

Do you need a summarized report? We've got 4 evangelism bugs on the meta bug linked to this (might as well mention all 4 in one sweep).
If you could email me all the bug numbers, I'll amend the request. k

Works for me now (/mobileweb) Their desktop site is still to this day serving corrupted content to the Fennec UA.
