FF mobile blocking "share" function

Post by EckardG »

Hello,
FF mobile is blocking "share" function on my tablet and my smartphone, Chrome and Samsung browser not. Why? Which setting can unblock this functionality?

Background:
I have a own canvas browser-app (drawing images), then the pic can be shared to Signal, telegram, whatsapp, email client, ..... Works with Chrome and Samsung browser, but not with FF. I have a 7 years old samsung tablet Android 7.1 with actual FF and a smartphone S9 Android with Android 10. On both devices the same: FF is blocking / not executing share functionality, on both Chrome works (Samsung browser only tested on S9). Who can help? Maybe special code for FF necessary?
I think thats the code that invokes sharing:

Code: Select all

navigator.share(shareData);
I found this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ator/share . Seems that FF denies "share" because of security reasons. Are there options in FF mobile to enable share?

Moving to Mobile forum where Firefox for tablets and smartphones are more likely to be discussed.
