Unable to select text in focus for iOS after update

A number of weeks ago Apple released an update to iOS and my Firefox focus has not been able to select text anymore. I could typically long press any word in the browser and I had the ability to either select text or if it was a URL, a menu would pop up asking if I wanted to copy the link. Since iOS updated, and focus updated (to the latest versions) this no longer works. I’ve only found one other person online (reddit) who posted this issue but no one has responded. Has this feature been disabled in focus? It still works in regular Firefox for iOS.

Thanks

Additionally when long pressing I forgot to mention that the pop up also had an option to define the words you highlighted.
