I found that firefox browser gives option of select text in the comment section of YouTube if open in desktop mod.
But if user open that video in mobile phone mod then user not able to select or copy text form youtube video comment section.
Android phone users also require to use this feature of select and copy form comment in YouTube comment section.

not 100% sure, but it's likely a youtube decission to have the comment text not selectable , like by just setting the user-select option (ref. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/user-select )
If you have uBlock Origin installed (which you should), you can add a "My Filters" rule to overwrite the user-select which should allow you to select any text you want.
##*:style(-webkit-touch-callout: default !important; -webkit-user-select: text !important; -moz-user-select: text !important; -ms-user-select: text !important; user-select: text !important;)
Obviously you can do this with violentmonkey or any other userscript/style manager too, just be aware that youtube is kind of a special site that doenst completely reload each page when you swich videos but uses ajax to rebuild its content, so that means your modification triggers need to account for that.

I am sorry but i am actually talking about android app firefox browser.
And also i am normal user who don't know anything about code and all this kind of stuff. At max i can understand if you talk about some add-ons that can help.
Also i want to clarify these issue completely there is large number of people who are like me that doesn't know about any kind of code or anything.
And for youtube comment section(which is very common for all the users) firefox Already give the option of select text to copy in desktop web view then why that is not available in mobile web view in android app.
Opera browser, samsung browser and all the other browser android apps give this option so it is not like nobody is giving this option.
So why firefox browser android app is behind is compition.
This is very basic and important for normal user point of view.
Also we can not even give direct feedback of app improvement(to firefox team) in app because firefox browser have no option of direct feedback option like google apps have (simple option of feedback in settings of app or browser).
