Is there integrated feature in Firefox to copy text from a hyperlink to upon selecting it? I was not able to locate such, or at least when I try from my Android phone (Samsung A70) and upon selection sub menu offers only copy of the link itself. Why do not you integrate with the next update this option, I think it's pretty usefully.

Hi

When you long press on the link and the submenu appears, you should be able to drag the two tags at either end of the text so that you are only copying a section of the text.
