Completely disable touchscreen properties?
Hi there. I have a touchscreen laptop, but I never use the touchscreen because I hate fingerprints. Ha. Instead of disabling the touchscreen on the laptop itself, I'd just like to disable all of the touchscreen properties in Firefox. I've done this in Chrome, but I can't seem to do it in Firefox. I've gone into 'about:config' and set 'dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled' to 0 as well as setting 'layout.css.touch_action.enabled' to false, but it's still not disabling the touchscreen properties. Is there something else within 'about:config' that I need to disable?
Thanks!

How is the problem manifesting itself??
Note: preferences related to the on-screen keyboard, if that is appearing unbidden, can be found in about:config by filtering on osk in the search box above the list.
There's no real problem. I just wanted to disable all touchscreen properties to test some other issues. :-)
If in Windows Settings you have the on-screen keyboard turned off, you never have to worry about it appearing. As for fingerprints: I have a touchscreen (love it ! ) and not ever do I see fingerprints ....... You don't have to touch your touchscreen, though.
I'm not talking about the onscreen keyboard. I just don't want Firefox to respond if I touch the screen. Is this possible? I've done it with Chrome.
Thanks.
I don't have a touchscreen device to experiment with...
Is it possible that Windows 10 is sending "mouse" events to Firefox when you touch the screen, so that Firefox doesn't realize it's a touch event?
Or maybe dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled = 0 just doesn't work the way it used to.
What I do with my finger (on my touchscreen, that is) is no different than what I'd do with a mouse , or, in my case: with my touchpad.
You have to be careful where to put your pointer; the same goes for where you put your finger.
I mainly use my touchscreen for scrolling: so much faster than the scrollbar.
