I often find I cannot select/tick check boxes and radio buttons on some websites. Works OK on the "other" browser. Is there an option I can change on Firefox for Android? if it's a site specific thing then what can I tell the website developers so that they can fix the issue?

Hi Joey

You may want to try these in Firefox for Android Beta (available from the Google Play store) as we have redesigned the browser from the ground up and it may handle these better.

You raise a good point about page design - small check boxes and radio selections are not always best on touch screen devices. I personally find it helps if the options are made larger - easier for fingers to tap the right part of the screen.

Thanks for the reply. It's not that the target area is too small. Even when I pinch zoom in so the checkbox or button is large , the click to select the control doesn't register.

It's especially common on a "I agree with the T&C's for this sute" type of checkbox

Please see following pages:

These inputs are supported in Firefox for Android since version 4.
