Deactivate long press options

My Samsung tablet has a "ghost touch" issue - as a solution, I activated a "long press" setting (0.2 seconds). Unfortunately, this clashes with Firefox settings: When I open a link or a page on Firefox, the browser registers only a small scrolling action and then stops registering other actions. I'm down to the point where Firefox is my default browser but I need to find Chrome from the depths of my setup if I need to open something in a pinch - or, in this case, using the syncing function to get the page from the tablet to my smartphone. Is there a way to deactivate custom long press settings on Firefox? Thank you.

Provo a scriverlo in italiano. Ho un tablet Samsung dove devo tenere attivata una impostazione di accessibilità, la pressione prolungata. Firefox è l'unica app che non riconosce la pressione prolungata - immagino perché ha altre opzioni per i gesti che confliggono con le impostazioni del tablet. Sono arrivato al punto di avere Firefox come browser preferito ma dover usare Chrome ogni volta che devo aprire una pagina. Esiste da qualche parte una impostazione per disattivare i gesti e/o le impostazioni di accessibilità di Firefox mobile? Grazie.

Per quanto ne so, non credo ci siano opzioni del genere. Se vuoi puoi suggerire questa funzionalità qui -> https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas
