How can i disable scrolling on firefox mobile ?

I want to disable scrolling for my responsive website, when a colorbox (like a lightbox) is layered over the page (as div, not as iframe). Scrolling should only be available for the colorbox-div, but not for body or html.

Therefore, I set "html" and/or "body" to "overflow:hidden" with the help of jquery. That works in chromium mobile and in the desktop versions of FF and chromium, but I can't figure out why I still have the scrollbar in Firefox on Android.

Is this a know 'problem'? What can I do?

Hello.

I have only tested with my own phone, a Fairphone, running with Caju (Fairphone 1.1) (Android 4.2.2) and Firefox 28.0 . My phone 'company' is Fonic.

The scrolling is always there, with firefox on this phone. I want to disable scrolling for the underlying page, after clicking on a picture, as long as the colorbox is open on https://flavuur.de .

The jquery I use is: $("html").css('overflow', 'hidden');
