I'm seeing this too on my device. When I try to use the calculator quickly, the context menu keeps popping up and getting in the way.
What I noticed:
It seems like Firefox is interpreting my fast taps as long-presses somehow. Like, I'll tap a number quickly and then tap another one, and boom - context menu appears. It's pretty frustrating when you're trying to do a quick calculation.
My thoughts on what might be happening:
Firefox Mobile might be a bit too sensitive with detecting long-press gestures. When you're tapping rapidly, it probably thinks you're holding down on the button even though you're not. Chrome doesn't have this problem, so it's definitely something specific to how Firefox handles touch events.
Things that might help figure this out:

Does this happen on other websites that need rapid tapping? Like mobile games or other interactive tools?
Is there a way to adjust how long Firefox waits before triggering the context menu?
Does it matter if the calculator uses actual HTML buttons versus clickable divs?

Temporary fix:
For now, I've been tapping slower with little pauses between each tap. Not ideal for a calculator, but at least it works.
This really does impact the mobile browsing experience compared to other browsers, so hopefully it can get some attention. Thanks for reporting this!
