there's a lot issue for touchscreen users like me,

First one - the copy text is not convenience like on the past, it's to hard to drag the blue signal for shadowing texts, on the old version all i need is to sweeping my finger on the text that i need and it will shadowed easily.

second one - firefox now doesn't recognize the text link, when i try to open the text link in the new tab it shadowing the text like in this picture https://screenshots.firefox.com/v7EqC2MAkMiNhk9X/drive.google.com.

third thing - I can't modify the screenshot with my finger to select specific place on the page.

four thing - when i sweep the page up and down by my finger the page will stop moving till i remove my finger from the screen and put it again to move the page.

i hope they make it more better for the touchscreen like on the past, not worse with every update.

Please update to version 57.0.2 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version

There maybe something but am not aware of it.

Not sure but can try this : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxy-gestures/ for the meantime.

Am sure there are fixes as Linux has found one. I can not find anything on Windows.

Come back, someone may know more
