Whenever im using the touch keyboard in Windows 10, it auto pops up whenever i tap on a text input box. Tapping out of the text box automatically hides the keyboard. Chrome and Edge seem to do this perfectly. Firefox 57.0b13 doesn't seem to do this, is there a way to enable this?

Hi  !

Would you give this a try :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type and look for the preference : ui.osk.enabled

and set its value to false

Close and restart Firefox.

Any good  ?
