I was surprised to learn that #Firefox for Android does suppress submitting invalid forms, but it does not show any error message or indication of that to the user.

There is already a bug for that: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1510450
@firefoxwebdevs could it maybe be an option to disable form validation completely in Firefox for Android until a fix is implemented?

@ausi this… was news to me too.
I'll look into ways of feature detecting this.

@firefoxwebdevs I tried it with some focus magic but that does not seem to work in Safari and has several other drawbacks.

@ausi yeah, I haven't found a reliable way yet either, but I'll continue bugging folks about it.
I don't think we'd be able to disable validation altogether, because folks will still be using the events & such, but adding their own errors.
