Hi everyone,
I would like to suggest an improvement to the text selection UX in Firefox for Android.
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.
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.
Please consider adding this continuous drag-to-select behavior to Firefox for Android. It makes text selection significantly faster and more user-friendly.
Thank you!
