I added the plug to Firefox using the command. Once the command finished, it crashed. When Firefox restarted, the theme was messed up and it was using the wrong cursor theme, reminiscent from the early days of snapd.
After sending the crash report to Mozilla, closing that messed up Firefox and opening it again, it worked normally and the gamepads were detected. Is there a reason the joystick plug isn't enabled by default? I believe it would be better for the users to have it enabled by default, as they could believe gamepads don't work on Firefox. Especially if the snap becomes the default for Jammy. Also, the kernel bug on the Redragon Seymur 2 is back! 😭️ Even using usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x100000 there is an extra analog axis which messes controls, making it nearly unusable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1962403 Title: Gamepads are no longer detected Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After the upgrade from Firefox deb to Firefox snap, my gamepad is no longer being detected. One gamepad is a Feitun FM0013, a gamepad with at least 5 operation modes I've found so far: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, X-Box wired controller, PS3 wired controller, PS3 wireless controller and generic Bluetooth controller. From these 5 operation modes, X-Box wired controller, PS3 wired controller and generic Bluetooth controller work on my computer, while Nintendo Switch Pro Controller mode is found but doesn't detect any buttons while using PS3 wireless controller mode isn't found. When using on my notebook and smartphone, I normally use this gamepad in generic Bluetooth controller mode, as I want to use it wirelessly more often. I have noticed that any of the modes that worked with Firefox deb (X-Box wired controller, PS3 wired controller and generic Bluetooth controller) stopped working with the snap. Steps to reproduce: 1) Have Firefox installed as a snap; 2) Connect gamepad with one of its compatible modes; 3) Access page/game to test the gamepad (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/12/the-gamepad-api/ or https://luser.github.io/gamepadtest/ or http://www.cross-code.com/en/start for example); 4) Notice how the gamepad isn't detected. I have a Redragon Seymur 2 too, and it also isn't detected. Using the Firefox from the Mozilla page, the gamepads are found and appear as follow in the luser's page: gamepad: 0079-0006-DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick gamepad: 045e-028e-Microsoft X-Box 360 pad The X-Box 360 one is the Feitun. Using Bluetooth, the Feitun appear as: gamepad: 1949-0402-Gamepad So, unfortunately, Firefox snap is unusable to play games while using gamepads. For example, I can play CrossCode on the Chromium snap, but am unable to play it on Firefox snap.
