Hello. I'm having a few problems on firefox for ios First problem:when i touch and hold to open a link in new tab, i need to hold a long time before the option shows up. Second problem:when i touch and hold to open a link in new tab,sometimes the "open in new tab" option doesn't show up,i'm only showed "open" ,which opens the link in the same tab Third problem: when i click a search result in google,it has a several second delay before it starts to load that page.Pages should load immediately after I clicked them.(Its not my device cpu problem,since chrome loads the page immediately after i clicked them) My firefox for ios version is 10.4,the latest as of time of writing.

Unfortunately, it is always related to the performance and responsiveness of your device;)

Not really, I tried chrome on ios 10.3.3 and holding a link pops up extra options really fast,unlike safari based browser like firefox for ios and apple stock safari is having this problem too.
