when i was with android 2.3.5, i have no problem with webpage that has links which i just touch the link on the screen and it goes.

however, upgraded to ics, when i tried to touch the link in the same webpage, only the link was highlighted in yellow but firefox did not go to the page of that link.

i tried touching the same link many many times and suddenly firefox catches my instruction and it moves to the page of the link.

it is very annoying which i have to repeat touching not knowing when firefox senses my input and move.

hello, though i don't use firefox mobile myself and can't give you specific advice for this issue, you could try using the beta version of firefox mobile - it contains various performance improvements and bug fixes: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta
