call phone numbers in a webpage by tapping?
Hi In other mobile browser I can call a phone number or send a mail to a mail address shown in a web page tapping it. How I can do it in firefox? I read here https://support.mozilla.org/it/questions/931677 that it wasn't yet possible in previous versions. This feature is now available natively or with some add-on? Any help will be appreciated Thank you

We added some code for this but have not enabled it due to concerns about slowing down page load. We think we have those concerns mitigated.
If you would like this feature you can enable it by typing about:config in the address bar. Then type linkify into the search, tap the toggle button on the browser.ui.linkify.phone option to change to true.
Any new pages you visit should now linkify phone numbers.
I enabled it and it works almost always, in some cases like when the telephone number is short (7 digits) or there are spaces, points, commas the number is not linked. I hope this can be usefull for improve this fundamental feature. I would like use firefox also on my android device but until this feature isn't fully supported I can't do it.
