Since new update was installed today, in touch screen mode, every time a touch a link of any kind my touch keyboard pops up. This is very annoying. Where can I find the setting to turn off this option?

I found the answer myself. I turned off "Use recommended performance settings", the problem went away.

I think Firefox programmers need to delete this from the recommended performance settings because I can't imagine that anyone would like this feature. Also, I don't know what other useful features I may not have because this one feature is so annoying that I must turn off all recommended performance settings.

This was not a solution. I thought it was at first but turned out it wasn't. I reported it to Bugzilla, others confirmed same problem with update 138, appears to be only in MS Windows 10. Fix should be coming.
