Topic on Extension talk:RevisionSlider/Flow

Unclear conflict with an experimental Firefox feature.

Hi. There is a button of revision slider, browse history, in mobile version, that does nothing. It's better to remove it, isn't it?

Can you please clarify what you mean when you say "mobile version"? I'm aware of several ways to get a mobile view:

• The "mobile view" link at the end of each page leads to the view small-screen devices like phones get by default. Example: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Mobiler_Unterschied/178162652. Revision slider is not active there. This is being worked on as part of phab:T165835.
• Users can use the same mobile skin on desktop. Example: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?diff=178162652&useskin=minerva. RevisionSlider is active there and works, as far as I can tell.
• There are mobile apps for Android and iOS. RevisionSlider is not meant to work with these.

Maybe you experience the problems you describe on a specific device?

Reproduction steps:

1. Windows 7, last Quantum
2. Install Side view extension - allows to compare desktop and mobile versions side by side.
3. Open some diff page.
4. Click the side view button on browser address fiels, nearby the bookmarking star.
5. The mobile version of the same page appears in the side view

I found a gadget on the English Wikipedia thats called "Mobile sidebar preview" (source code). But I assume this is not what you mean. RevisionSlider works fine with this, as far as I can see. Are you talking about a browser extension? Which browser are you using, and where to find this extension?

Yes, like I said: I'm on Quantum. You can find it on .

Personally I'm happy to see the Mozilla folks working on a feature like this. But I honestly don't think it makes sense hunting bugs in an experimental Firefox feature that started just a few days ago, according to the page.

Let's talk in May?
