Go at url of .txt file (e.g. http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/8800/pg8800.txt) 2. Try to select text by tapping and holding. Actual results: It should show the yellow markers for selecting the text and with tapping copy the text on clipboard Expected results: It does nothing.
Let's transform this into Text Selection on Native Android akin to bug 661388 for XUL since I couldn't find one.

Fennec native is getting really stable these days; I find myself wanting to use it over the default browser more and more, and as I do, the absence of text selection is becoming a real bummer. I'm surprised this is only a P3 bug. Is it a blocker for the initial "final" release of fennec native?
It's tracking for a future release, but not blocking '1.0'.
