On-screen keyboard doesn't open with tablet mode deactivated
On my convertible laptop (Windows 10 20H2) the on-screen keyboard doesn't open when clicking a text field with the keyboard flipped back and the tablet mode deactivated. In all other browsers I've tested the on-screen keyboard opens normally. Is there any workaround or plan to change this behaivour?

I've just found a solution to my problem. With Firefox open I went to the Windows settings under "Devices" > "Typing" > "Show the touch keyboard when not in tablet mode and there's no keyboard attached". I deactivated and activated this setting and now the on-screen keyboard just works fine.

Please enter about:config in the URL bar and paste here values of preferences starting with ui.osk.
services.sync.prefs.sync.ui.osk.enabled true ui.osk.debug.keyboardDisplayReason IKPOS: Keyboard presence confirmed. ui.osk.detect_physical_keyboard true ui.osk.enabled true ui.osk.on_screen_keyboard_path ui.osk.require_win10 false
These are the preferences with the keyboard flipped back.
