User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20171116103757 Steps to reproduce: Bug occurs under configuration specified below: Hardware: Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA Operating System: Linux Mint 18.4 Cinnamon x64 Process started with command: env MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox %u The bug was successfully replicated with all extensions disabled. _______________________________________ Problem occurs after performing "tap and hold" (long press) action using touchscreen anywhere in the browser, including webpages, address bar, search bar, tabs, etc.. Actual results: "Tap and hold" actions seems to get performed properly: * Context menu pops up * An element of a webpage gets selected (if action was performed in the webpage area) However after the action following gestures stop working: * Touch scrolling - still works, but triggers zooming in or out depending on the direction of scrolling and position of finger on the touchscreen. * Tap - moves cursor to the target position but does not perform click action. This not only affect websites, but also the browser as a whole, i.e. tapping on tabs, navigation buttons, menu buttons (including add-ons buttons) etc. only changes position of the cursor. Exception to this is the dialog box, that shows when closing a window with multiple tabs. The mouse and keyboard support does not get affected by this bug. Windows opened with existing tab using mouse action "right click on tab + Move to New Window" support touchscreen gestures properly. After restarting the browser all touchscreen gestures revert to normal. Expected results: Context menu should open and text get selected without the listed side-effects.

Sounds more like a widget issue to me. Feel free to move it to the right module if I am wrong.

As stated in #1321069 I am seeing the exact same behaviour on Linux Mint 18.3 Firefox 59.0.2 (64bit). I am willing to provide logs or data if requested.
This is a regular bother for me on my moderately customized Ubuntu system (18.04, Firefox 59.0.2, GNOME on wayland), too. I haven't explored the bug much, but the issues described match my experience to a T, and I am willing to give more details and try out possible fixes if needed.
Can confirm this exact behavior on a current Arch Linux system.
