long press no longer brings up save option
Not sure what has happened but in the last 2-3 days I am no longer able to long press on an image or video in Firefox mobile browser to bring up options to save, share etc.
Happens on multiple websites including ones that worked previously, can't remember if Firefox updated in the last few days but the issue has only just started.
Have cleared cache, reinstalled, all permissions needed to save images/videos are allowed, but had no effect on this issue.

Hi
Do you have any add-ons installed in Firefox for Android?

It works on text and links like the text/link to your profile and stuff like that, but no images or videos basically web-wide
What is the make and model of your Android device?
So long pressing a text link works, long pressing an image, whether link or not, doesn't? Does following a link through an image work?
The only idea I have up to now is that the accessibility settings on your device might make the long press on images somehow, well, inaccessible.

Yeah text links work, but with images/videos it doesnt even bring up any kind of menu, or have haptic feedback when i hold like normal when you long press, it's as if it isn't even recognising the long press but only when on images or videos

It hasn't seemed to fix the issue i'm having in Firefox, but it did solve another issue i was having so thanks for that haha
The issue doesn't happen on Chrome or Samsung web so i think it's a firefox issue rather than phone issue
