Why has Firefox overridden my highlighting with the tear drop highlights?

Before I could "highlight" by just touching on touchscreen what I wanted to highlight and copy. Now, with Firefox I must use the little "teardrops" to highlight. How can I disable that?

Hi   !

Assuming that you are talking about what I hope you are talking about :

Type in the address bar : about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preferences :

layout.accessiblecaret.enabled_on_touch and set its value to false and : layout.accessiblecaret.use_long_tap_injector and set its value to true

Does this do the trick  ?

Set them as you said and it did not change anything. Should I change them back?

Yes please, change them back.

Would you take a look at this :

Is there some way to change carets (new word to me) from my keyboard? Or did I somehow do something wrong and change it myself inadvertently, like dusting off the keyboard because it was working oldstyle, then changed to teardrops after a couple months use?

BTW, for what it's worth, I can use the arrow cursor and the laptop's Touchpad and it highlights fine, but not on Touchscreen.

BTW #2, I also have Waterfox downloaded and it works just fine with the old style blue box word highlighting on Touchscreen.

Any more thoughts?

The keyboard shortcut for controlling Caret Browsing is F7. Perhaps you could try pressing that & see what happens?

You should see a prompt like this:

I have a touchscreen as well, but I always use the touchpad to highlight
(and most things, actually). Well, if it works for you : why change it, eh  ?

I would not be changing anything, both features should work. Always, on any Touchscreen I have had I should be able to click and swipe with a finger or stylus and highlight. That I can no longer do on Touchscreen, hence the problem. Trying to highlight with Touchpad or stretching the little "teardrops" apart on Touchscreen or Touchpad is an unnecessary pain.

Nothing happened.

The other thing is, it will highlight perfectly in the Address line and the Search line, but won't work anywhere in the text area of any page.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN IDEA OR SUGGESTION?
