https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/add-continuous-drag-to-select-gesture-for-text-on-android/m-p/144785#M59264 <P>Hi everyone,<BR />I would like to suggest an improvement to the text selection UX in Firefox for Android.<BR />Currently, to select text, you have to long-press a word and then manually drag the selection handles ("drops"). This requires multiple actions and precision.<BR />In Google Chrome and many other Android apps, there is a much more intuitive gesture: you long-press a word and immediately drag your finger in any direction without lifting it. The text continues to be highlighted as you move your finger.<BR />Please consider adding this continuous drag-to-select behavior to Firefox for Android. It makes text selection significantly faster and more user-friendly.<BR />Thank you!</P> Sat, 24 Oct 2026 16:39:24 GMT MemosKekos 2026-10-24T16:39:24Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/add-continuous-drag-to-select-gesture-for-text-on-android/m-p/144785#M59264 <P>Hi everyone,<BR />I would like to suggest an improvement to the text selection UX in Firefox for Android.<BR />Currently, to select text, you have to long-press a word and then manually drag the selection handles ("drops").
