how do I dial from embedded phone number
with smart phone when on a website that displays a phone number I am unable to call directly without copy/paste number into phone app. is there a way to bypass this step?

We don't have phone number detection. There are a large number of formats that are hard to detect. It is better for the site to use the tel:// protocol so that the number can be launched with a dialer.

Come on, that is a weak excuse. You need to be at least as user friendly as the competition or you'll be left behind. Both Chrome and Opera for Android have this feature working, without the website using the tel:// protocol.
Putting the blame on the website is weak when other browsers do it flawlessly.
I've been using firefox on my GS3 for the last 2 months to test it out, and while I really liked the syncing btw the desktop and phone app, I finally got tired today of not being able to simply tap a phone number in the browser to have it instantly called. So I did a search of found all those "No, we won't do it" answers from firefox devs. And I see that not much has changed in Firefox development team, as arrogant as ever, denying features every common users asks for, simply because the devs have a different vision that is never user-friendly-oriented(in this case, even putting the blame on the website!).
What do you think is easier for us, real users. Write an emails to the millions website not using the tel protocol, or simply removing firefox and using chrome or opera, both working flawlessly with phone numbers on every webpages?
Yep, you figured it out, - bye-bye firefox on android.
