Would this explain why click events are passing through containers when using a touchscreen?

that sucks but it seems like the proper bodge would be to have a global "isSupposedToBePointerCapturing" that a {capturing:true} click handler on the page can check to preventDefault() and stopPropagation() until Mozilla gets their shit together
