Status: UNCONFIRMED

Description

[FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171206182557
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

Make long touch over a link with one finger on a touch screen (Surface Pro 3 tablet).


Actual results:

Context menu is showed but the browser behaves like a normal mouse left-click event, opening the link inmediately in the same tab.


Expected results:

It should behave in the same way like a mouse right-click: showing a context menu.

How often do you see this? Is it reliably reproducible?

I have noted that it is reproducible only in youtube page and its video links, and it occurs always. No problem with links in other web pages. Tested with the last Firefox Quantum version 57.0.4 (x64).

Yeah, still reproduces.

STR:

1) go to a Youtube video that has a link somewhere in a comment or description, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1mCPD37GtU
2) with a touch screen, long press, then let go when a "square" appears to bring up a context menu

(You can long press anywhere that's not a link, to see expected behavior)

Expected:

Context Menu appears, no navigation


Actual:

Context Menu appears, but on the next page (navigation happened)

However, navigation also happens in Chrome. But no context menu. I wouldn't consider this a compat issue...

Jim, we should probably clear out the context menu after navigation happens, right? Is that a Widget thing? Something else?

Toolkit or widget maybe. Sounds like the context menu event fires late.

mike,
where should we move this, if not a webcompat issue?

Oops, missed this.

Let's try Toolkit.

still have this bug on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:81.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/81.0

the bug is always reproduce able when long tapping a link/thumbnail on youtube.com . personally i often visit that website. so to me, this bug makes firefox pretty much unusable on touch screen device
