As said in the title. I want the link in a new tab. I do not want to select the link text. I long press to try and open the context menu on the link, but Firefox selects the link text instead.

With old Firefox for Android, I can just zoom in slightly, and suddenly it's easy. New Firefox Preview doesn't do pinch to zoom everywhere, so I can't work around the issue in that way.

So how can I consistently open links in a new tab? I don't want to be fumbling around trying to *not* select the link text every time. And opening links in new tabs is my second most common UI interaction, below 'scroll' but above 'search/enter url in new tab' and 'close tab'.

Hi Hazel

Do you can an example of a page where this is happening?
