Firefox – How to turn on Firefox’s Responsive Design Mode’s touch simulator

firefoxfirefox-developer-tools

I want to use Firefox for mobile development. And I would like to turn on Firefox's responsive design's touch simulator.

While I'm in device mode in Chrome, the browser shows a gray circle as mouse cursor and I can drag (slide) my page:

Device mode in Chrome

But in Firefox's Responsive Design Mode I see the normal arrow cursor and can't drag the page:

Responsive Design Mode in Firefox

Is there maybe a preference for this in about:config?

Best Answer

The touch event simulation available via touch event simulation button currently (as of Firefox 51.0.1) only translates mouse events into touch events.

It doesn't provide mobile gestures like dragging to scroll (bug 1282089), nor shows a circle as cursor (bug 1271728). So, this feature is very restricted at the moment.
