Two Problems with Story: Swipe for Videos w/ Firefox and Full Screen Map

Two problems I've noticed testing Story:

1) Swipe doesn't work for videos on Firefox: Swiping to advance doesn't seem to work for videos on Firefox (it works for images). It doesn't work on either Android & Windows versions of Firefox. In the case of Windows, there's a "next" button to fall back on, but with Android you get stuck on the video and have to exit slideshow mode. I'm seeing the same behavior with Firefox with Tiger. Swiping videos does work on Chrome (Android & Windows) and Edge (Windows), so presumably something unique to Firefox.

I just tried with your multimedia sample with same result in Firefox: https://samples.jalbum.net/Tiger%20demo%202/index.html

2) Timeout of fullscreen Map freezes the screen in Chrome on Android: The fullscreen Map apparently has a timeout on Android (10 seconds?). If you let it time out when the map is in full screen (Chrome/Android only) it freezes the screen.

It seems Firefox is taking over the tap/mouse events on the full area of the videos. They treat the whole video as a Play/Pause button, therefore no swipe gesture can be used.

The map appears on my Android/Chrome instantaneously. Do you use an API key, and is the site allowed on the API console?

Do you see the same problem here? http://laza.jalbum.net/Tiger/Landscape/index.html#img=Bled.jpg

The problem appears to be unique to Story skin.     So the example you sent (Tiger skin) works fine for me too.  

Here's an example using Story vs Tiger.   

When I open the first one on Android/Chrome, the Map opens fine, but will time out after 10 seconds.   And if I make the map full screen and wait for the timeout, the page is frozen.

The behavior of Tiger on Android/Chrome doesn't have a timeout or fullscreen option, so I don't encounter the issue.

In general, I've found the Map timeout behavior on mobile to be a bit of a nuisance as it seems to happen even when I'm moving around on the Map looking for something, though at least it remembers where I was when I reopen the Map.   And of course, the page freezing when Map times out in fullscreen is even more of a nuisance.

Thanks for looking into the Firefox behavior with videos.   Does Story have the option to add an 'arrow' to the control bar on mobile devices?    I don't really want to have it there, but trying to think of way to handle suchsituations.

Thanks.
