Open Link in New Tab unavailable on iPad

The menu which used to appear when one would tap and hold a link (containing Open Link in New Tab, Copy Link Address, etc.) is missing in place of the drag and drop feature. There is no way to access these functions.

Hello. I use firefox on my apple ipad retina. I often use the "open in new tab" feature which is very useful to me. 10% of the cases I want to use this feature I do not get the opportunity to choose this. This applies whether I want to open a link in a new tab or a picture in a new tab. Why is this happening? Can I do something about this? I use firefox 14 for ios.

Does anyone have a solution here? Or do we just have to accept that this is a problem for a few only? Or do we have to accept that software and hardware are too old to fix this?
