Firefox 68 for Android does not polyfill pointer event

See original GitHub issue

The “never worry about polyfills again” tagline is not true in this case, because a polyfill is clearly not being loaded.

I’m referring to the pointer-event feature.

It is not supported on Firefox for Android 68.

Yet when use Polyfiller like so:

<script crossorigin src="https://polyfill.app/api/polyfill?features=url,fetch,pointer-event,scroll-behavior"></script>

The polyfill is not loaded. When I change it to:

<script crossorigin src="https://polyfill.app/api/polyfill?features=url,fetch,pointer-event|force,scroll-behavior"></script>

It suddenly starts polyfilling and pointer events are detected.

Yeah, of course! The changes will be non-breaking at first in terms of the public API. There will be deprecations and a plan to migrate users to the new one over time.

Closed, given that a new version of Polyfiller has been deployed that contains this fix.
