Webcompat issues

(a selection of some of the bugs worked on this week).

WebKit css for hiding/showing the menu bar on a responsive layout, it will be solved on Firefox 49
Almost every week, we are adding issues to the HLS/M3U8 bug. That's the top report we currently get on webcompat.
Yet another example that any hacks will break in the future. On this bug, the links are not working in Firefox. A strange rule x:-moz-any-link, x:default was applied to the CSS. This was ignored by other browsers. It seems it is a Firefox 3.0 hack which is widely distributed through sites like CSS Tricks. They also do strange things when using select.
WebP support in mod_pagespeed is full of user agent sniffing. I followed the trail of different updates. And because this specific Web site probably relies on an older version of mod_pagespeed it breaks in Firefox Android. The irony is that it will probably break in the future if finally WebP is supported by Gecko.
Some outreach contact leads are very hard to find. If you know someone working for SMASH or FujiRock festival, please tell me.
Funky issues with a JavaScript for cutting out text through canvas which doesn't work currently in Firefox.
We have a recurring issue with a newsletter/sweepstake web site. I haven't nailed down what was happening.

WebCompat.com dev

A good first bug for people who want to start contributing to webcompat. Our images in markdown lists are broken :)
A full review of our issue page so we can improve a bit its readability.
