Firefox problems

    For a start, what a great plugin. For now the only problem I accidentally bumped into is Firefox.

    The setup is a query loop which returns 12 posts (custom post type) and displays them with a custom layout. I want to use your plugin to make it possible to slide through the posts. I tested it in different browsers and on my mobile (chrome and duckduck) and until now it works everywhere except in Firefox.

    What it should look like and looks like in many browsers:

    What Firefox returns (the queryloop results in 12 posts):

    Is there a solution to this problem or something I can do? Firefox has no extensions installed. And I would really like to use this plugin.

    best regards Marie-Anne

    Hello Marie-Anne, Thank you very much for your message.
    Yes, the plugin uses an experimental feature called ::scroll, which is not yet supported by Firefox and Safari.
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Selectors/::scroll-button#browser_compatibility
    I initially thought of using this new feature, expecting it to be supported by all modern browsers soon, but in reality, it still isn’t, and no future compatibility date is planned at the moment.
    I’m planning to change the plugin’s functionality to revert to a more classic JavaScript carousel, which guarantees compatibility with all browsers.
    This is a significant change that will require some development time.
    Therefore, I can confirm that I will implement this change, but I can’t give you a precise date at the moment.
    Thank you very much for your understanding.

    Hi Arthur,

    thank you for your fast reply. I am a bit disappointed since this is exactly what I need (or my customer) but I understand the significant change (asked Claude what the options were to solve this) and serious development time. And if had read the reviews better, I could have known :-), but than I would have missed the experience, which I really like.

    I hope you’re talking weeks and not months, Marie-Anne

    Hi Marie-Anne,

    I have some absolutely wonderful news for you! Instead of weeks or months, it only took a few days! 🚀

    I am thrilled to let you know that version 2.0.0 is officially live and available for update right now in your WordPress dashboard.

    I have completely refactored the plugin’s architecture to solve this exact issue:

    1. Full Browser Compatibility: We have completely removed the experimental CSS ::scroll-* pseudo-elements and replaced them with standard, native HTML navigation buttons and pagination dots. The plugin is now 100% compatible with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge, and all modern mobile and desktop browsers.
    2. Lightweight & Fast: Instead of loading heavy third-party libraries (like Swiper or Slick), the controls are powered by a super-lightweight, vanilla JavaScript script (less than 5KB) combined with native CSS scroll-snap. Your excellent Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals performance scores remain completely untouched!
    3. Improved Editor Experience: You will also see the navigation arrows and interactive pagination dots directly inside your Gutenberg editor exactly like on the frontend, with computed padding detection.
    4. Interactive Dot Tracking: Clicking the pagination dots will slide to the corresponding post, and the active dot is synchronized in real-time as you scroll thanks to a lightweight IntersectionObserver.

    You can simply update Any Block Carousel Slider to version 2.0.0 directly from your WordPress updates page, and it should work instantly on Firefox!

    Thank you so much for your patience, your kind words, and for giving me the motivation to speed up this major milestone. Let me know if everything works perfectly on your end!

    Best regards,
    Arthur
