I had been using regular firefox, and with the add-ons I had for saving photos and movies, my browsing experience was basically perfect on my Surface Pro 4. Now Quantum comes and the touchscreen is terrible to use. It seems to randomly be interacting with the sites, it will click things when I do not mean to click them, and holding to use the context menu barely works. Everything used to be usable with a finger, but I frequently find myself having to use the stylus to even get it to recognize input at all.

There does not seem to be any way that I see to calibrate this to make it better.

At first test this has at least helped greatly, if not solved the problem completely. Thank you very much for the response.
