Often when I Iong press a link, the popup menu doesn't display. Not matter how long I hold the link or how many times I try, nothing happens. I'm on Android 4.0.3

Please update to the latest version of Firefox, version 37.

Updated Firefox to the latest version (v37) and it does seem better however, it still isn't 100%. Tried duckduckgo for instance and a long press didn't work. Oddly, if I visit a link on the page and hit the back button once it's loaded, long pressing nearly always starts working.

Be default in search pages the link will open up in a new tab. However in duckduckgo I could tap on a search title with an underline and it would open in the open search tab. Is there another example where we can test this consistently?

Unfortunately, I am not able to find a page where this consistantly happens it seems intermittent on any web site I've visited. Yahoo today seems particularly bad. I have updated firefox again (to v37.0.2) and it still happens.

I'm not sure what a search engine automatically opening a link in a new tab has to do with anything, that shouldn't stop the pop-up menu appearing when you long press a link.
