Hello, i'm using since forever firefox with a extension called for example: -Fire Drag -Glitter Drag -Drag Links ...

to open website links in a background tab, simply by dragging the link to the left side (mouse left click, hold, drag on left) In past the Firefox versions changed, the extensions changed too, but i found always one combination that worked for me.

Now since Firefox 57 i'm using 'Fire Drag' extension, wich works great with the mouse on my desktop PC and also on the convertible netbook. But my problem is that the browser doesn't open links if i use my touchscreen (not the touchpad, that works!)

Is there something i can do, to make the browser work with the touchscreen input ? The mouse and touchpad work, but i wan't to have it working with the touchscreen on my portable.

fyi : i did work with firefox 56 - tried it today again with version 52 esr portable, that works too - running on Win 10 x64 latest build.

i found a thread with a similar problem description :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1196817

if i get it right : it just doesn't work anymore in firefox quantum ?!

WTF : why can't we copy text or grab a link with a finger touch? that's really dumb when you are using a touch device...

i guess i gonna need to replace my lovely firefox by something else more touch friendly :(
