No context menus when using Samsung DeX mode/external mouse

When using Firefox on a Galaxy S device under DeX mode (same behavior on my S9 and Tab S5e), Firefox does not provide any context menus via either a long-left mouse-button press or a right mouse-button press. Other browsers (Chrome, the default Samsung browser, etc) do give context menus via a right-click, but FF does not. I can't open links in new tabs, request a link be opened with an external app, etc.

I can get the conext menu if have Dex use my phone as the pointing device, but that's not (generally) how I have things set up. It does not work if I use the touchpad on my NexDoc laptop.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers. If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
