Comment 9 for bug 1690254

Done: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1690254

I wonder if Ubuntu's push for desktop/handheld unification led them to make some changes related to touch, because the failure mode somewhat resembles the way the site may be expected to work on a mobile phone. Except those have mechanisms to select text, such as tap-and-hold, which also don't work here.
