Hey guys,

When I am on facebook and I go to edit a comment, the selector tool the cursor pops up but I am unable to move it throughout the text. I have to select the "select all feature and then the cursor splits to the beginning and end of the text. When I go to move those prongs around a selected word or try to adjust the "cursor" position I am unable to do so. I have tried this on other sites and still experience an issue. The only add on I am running is Ublock Origin. I have tried running the browser without the add on and still experiece the same issue. I am running the most up to date firefox and os for my phone (galaxy note 4). Please let me know if you need any additional information for troubleshooting. Other than that the browser is awesome.

Hi Cody2021, I understand that when trying to edit a post on a Facebook page that the small selection of text is required to select all on the page first then you can change the begging and end points. I also understand that this happens on other sites.

Try this, long tap on one word, then you can adjust accordingly.

This way you do not have to select as much. However this was expected behavior. I also tried to double tap a got the same results. (Does the Galaxy Note have a stylus pen?)
