Comment 1 for bug 1447617

It turns out the format of the phone number in the link is to blame. For the example business I tested, the link is of the following form:

    <a target="_blank" href="tel://(512) 480-8181">CALL</a>

I initially suspected the _blank target was the problem, but it’s not (despite the fact that it makes for a bad user experience as it opens a new blank tab which then opens the dialer).

Not sure whether the problem is in oxide, url-dispatcher or dialer-app, so I’m adding tasks for all three projects until I can investigate further.
