Is there any way to get intuitive touch screen controls working on Linux? I want to be able to both scroll and click things via touch screen. The instructions I found online (https://askubuntu.com/questions/978226/how-to-make-touch-screen-scrolling-work-in-firefox-quantum) to get scrolling to work break clicking, though. I really want to be able to use Firefox, but I am stuck using Chrome for now because I rely on the touch screen so much.

If this is a bug, does this mean that there is nothing I can do about this?
