On the website for Google News, Firefox does not give the context menu to allow opening a link in a new tab.

Sometimes this works, but 90% of the time it doesn't. Not sure what's happening. When I hold down a link on the mobile version of Google News the context menu does not pop up. I can click the link and go, but I want to open the link in a new background tab so I can view later, but it won't let me as no context menu appears. But then sometimes randomly, it will work. If I close and restart Firefox (android) it stops working again.

How to fix/troubleshoot?

Thanks

I have the same problem, seems like this site has a lot of issues with scrolling and swiping being erratic or getting stuck in one point on the page. Likely related issues (seems like the press-and-hold is being misinterpreted by Google's JavaScript as a scroll event, this blocking the context menu).
