Firefox compatibility

[helen]

As always, I get the great honor of reporting that some of this doesn't appear to work in Firefox, which is my primary browser. I use the developer edition.

Things that don't work as compared to Chrome:

• Up/down reordering
• Webfonts

Things that do:

• Image sizing / placement
• Text editing + new paragraph block

Things that don't work in either (assuming expected):

• Adding a new block beyond the ability to hit enter for a new paragraph block
• Filtering/searching of block types
• Text alignment

Up/down reordering

See #36 😄

Edit: and I think I'm having the same experience regarding the other elements as well (as to which ones work and don't work).

Thank you @JDGrimes for fixing that 🎉

I can't reproduce your webfonts issue though, Helen, can you clarify? Here's what I'm seeing:

Note, it's possibly working for me because I have both Merriweather and SF UI fonts installed on my machine.

Inline controls, insertion dialog, those are dummy elements so far, mostly to get a feel for the UI. I opened a separate ticket to discuss how far to take this prototype: #51

Here's what I see:

These errors appear in my console:

That is super interesting, and turns out to be a bit of a 🐰🕳

In the past there seems to have been a bug specifically with the Google Fonts version of Merriweather, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1239176

But that bug should be fixed. However this ticket suggests that Nightly and Aurora versions of Firefox may be having this issue still today: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1239176 — any chance you're running one of those versions?

[helen]

I use the developer edition which is Aurora - currently at 53.0a2 (2017-02-09).

[jasmussen]

That could explain the issue. Seems like it's upstream with either Google Fonts or with Firefox.

That said, it's probably worth discussing whether to use Merriweather in the first place. I think it's lovely, but Georgia might do fine as well.

[jasmussen]

Closing for now, let's reopen if it isn't fixed in Google Fonts or Aurora.
