Is there a way to turn off the pop up that asks if I want to share an image?

I am using Firefox for Android on my Samsung Tab A.

I have long-time carpal tunnel and sometimes my fingers kind of drag on the screen, I guess, because it constantly activates a pop up that comes in front of my screen and asks me if I want to save or share this image. I have never used this popup to save or share images but it's always in the way. I wish I could just turn it off so I could relax my hand and browse, without it always getting in the way. Please tell me there is a way.

Thanks so much for your help. I found the setting, changed it and restarted but sadly, it does not seem to make a difference. Is there any other setting that might control this?

Hi

You may not be able to turn off that notice, but instead you may want to use a touch screen pointer that you you can use to select items on the screen .
