838728 - Make list taps more responsive

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Ian Barlow (:ibarlow)]

Currently there is a slight delay when tapping our list items (awesomebar, tabs lists etc), which keeps us from triggering an accidental highlight when a user actually means to scroll.

Problem is, it makes the UI feel laggy. I noticed today that the rest of Android actually seems to distinguish between quick taps and longer taps that might imply a scroll is about to start. See for example Android Settings. 

We should try to do the same in our UI.
