Touchscreen functions not working like they were, I can't "right click" by tapping the screen with one finger alreadyon the screen?
After installing the new firefox, one major touch screen function doesn't work any more.
I can't "right click" by tapping the screen while holding another finger on the screen. This is a firefox issue as this function still works in other browsers and programs.
What am I missing?

This is for a desktop with a viewsonic touchscreen monitor.

I have been able to adjust some setting in about:config to get some other touch options to work... but still no luck on getting the two finger "right click" gesture to work.
Continuing to adjust About:config settings. Interesting to see the options to adjust for touchscreen interface, yet to find solution for right click touch gesture.
Nothing new to report. No other About: config adjustments to correct this.
Turning layout.accessiblecaret.enabled_on_touch to false will remove the selection of text, making it easier for me to hold a link and let go after a second to allow for the right click dialogue box to come up.
We are coming up on a month with solutions?
Sad and bad.
Still sad. Still bad.
When right click does not function in Firefox, it is a Windows 10 issue and NOT a Firefox issue. Fixed the issue by re-booting Windows 10 A simple directive like this would have saved me a few hours of frustration.

Re-Booting Windowns hasn't helped the issue on my end. Glad this worked for you! I must be missing something.
Touchscreen issues are a Windows support issue not a FF issue. If you can't open other icon on the screen then you got either O/S issue or hardware problem.
Ohh my. This is really bizarre that I'm getting that this is a Window issue?
Because BEFORE the new Firefox update I could two finger "right click" all the time. Then after the install that function went away?
I'm not an expert to know... but if it is a Windows issue why wouldn't it have been an issue before the new FF update?
Even more bizarre is that I can still two finger right click in other programs, like Word, etc... but just not in FF? Maybe Windows is colluding against FF. That would piss me off.
Thanks.
