How can I view information when I hover or hold my finger/stylus on a button/icon? I use a website which has icons which display text information about items when you hover your mouse cursor over it. On my previous device I could hold my finger/stylus on the icon and have the information bubble popup to read. How can I view the text popup bubble in my Firefox on Android? I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra with Android 4.4.4 (Kitkat) and using Firefox version 33.1 for Android. Let me know if You need any other info? Thank you.

Long pressing will display the title text. However it will be truncated if the text is too long.

There is not a good way to deal with hover to reveal on phones. While some devices support a hover feature, most do not.

I forgot to mention. Long pressing on the icon only result in the text being selected/highlighted. The popup/tooltip message does not display. I added two screenshots. The one displays the popup message correctly when hovering the mouse cursor over the '?' icon, as it is on my computer. The other screenshot displays the text being seleted when I press long on the '?' icon.
