Hi all.

Since the rollout of iOS 13 (now 13.1) I personally find it virtually impossible to highlight text to copy/cut/paste from a webpage using Firefox for iOS.

I'm using a first edition 64Gb iPhone SE, model A1723 (the international version).

Initially I thought it was a general iOS 13 issue, but I have tried Safari and that works fine when copying and pasting text from a webpage.

In Firefox for iOS some sites (not many) you can perform this action albeit it occurs reluctantly. Others I am stabbing my finger like the touchscreen does not work. Often the result of attempting to cut/copy text in a webpage results in an Apple message offering to open the page in a new tab, bookmark it etc.

I've never had a problem copying and pasting text from a webpage since Firefox for iOS was created.

Has anyone experienced the same issue since iOS 13 - Mozilla devs. could you look into the issue?

Thanks.

Seems to be fixed with the latest Firefox for iOS update.

It's still a little erratic at times, but on the whole it seems to work a lot smoother now. Hopefully things will improve further with future updates. Maybe worth noting that I also updated my operating system to iOS 13.1.1 yesterday.
