+1, no doubt about it.
The reasoning makes perfect sense to me and the need for a change is pretty clear based on the amount of effort that seems to have been spent in this problem.

1) Marionette is coming soon. I hope :)
2) People who need native events can use Firefox 31 ESR
3) With this cutoff decision we'll not be forced to ship a new Selenium version after Firefox release.
4) We can spend more effort fixing remaining glitches in synthesized events instead of fighting C code of the native libs
5) Synthesized events are not too bad, at the moment we have more tests passed with synthesized events than with native ones
Hi, devs,I'm back to this topic. Now I feel more confident about deleting native events, and I'm going to prone them away very soon.1) The latest Firefox version with native events support is Firefox 34, and I can't see many issues in the tracker with complains about missing native events. Say more, I can't see one!
3) FirefoxDriver with native events passes *less* tests than the one with synthesized events.
In view of these facts, I think it is safe enough to get rid of native events now.
Hi, Louis,I see you point, these are legit issues.
But when I recollect the old issues that appeared after each Firefox release with many comments like "everything is broken", "fix this asap!" -- I don't want to go back :)We have no *such* issue reports novadays.
To be honest, so called "native" events are simulated too.But they are simulated on the OS level, whereas so called "synthesized" events are simulated on the browser level.
And I hope we'll be able to fix all the remaining issues in the "synthesized" simulation to make it as close to real user as possible.
You missed some:I think I still have a case that I have not submitted yet.
