[1] Touch events were implemented in Firefox 18, but removed again in Firefox 24 on the the desktop version of Firefox due to web compatibility issues (bug 888304).
[2] As of Firefox 52, touch events support has been fixed and reenabled in Windows desktop platforms.
[3] In order to prevent event handlers for touchmove events from blocking rendering during the scrolling of the document or window, Chrome and Firefox have changed the default for the passive option for addEventListener() on these events to true.
