1813727 - Context menu stopped working for Javascript links

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: Browser Engine, defect)

Description

[Jeff Boek [:boek]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/23022.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to a page containing an anchor-tag with a Javascript URL (e.g. https://csadilek.github.io/test12.html)
2. Long press on that JS Link

Expected behaviour

A context menu pops up.

This is how it works with Firefox desktop and with the deprecated Fennec on Android.
It also worked with Fenix up to Nightly 96.0a1 (Build #2015847817), a6d5d21e0+ from 2021-11-25 17:44. Each of them at least gives the user the option to copy a Javascript link just like a regular link.
