I want to use my tablet for writing/drawing on some websites but the browser doesn't recognize the device. It computes the mouse on the "drawing" screen but not the tablet, and also computes using the pen for clicking and dragging, and/or the tablet as a touch-pad. The device works fine on chrome and on my drawing softwares, so it isn't a problem with the pressure sensors or driver. Tested disabling all addons and restarting Mozilla, but the problem remains. Mozilla is up to date, and I use W10 (also up to date).

Any advice?

You want to read this for tablet version. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-your-phone-or-tablet

You need to read the question fully. The OP is trying to use a drawing tablet (perhaps for example a Wamcom tablet) as a touch pad for mouse actions and drawing and such on desktop Firefox for Win10.
