Just HOLD on the text and TAP on the selected text and you can get the list of options including Copy Text

Hi! Jay.... it doesn't work. I tried many times. Someone using 26.0.1, can you please confirm the issue?

Some sites disable the text selection (for example Twitter). Would you try on a known good site such as https://en.wikipedia.org

I tested it on Wikipedia. It doesn't select/copy text.

Hi, Its working fine.. check the attached screenshot.

Checked in Samsung Galaxy S2, Firefox Version 26.0.1


You may try with beta version

Thank you Jay. I see that you are using Galaxy S2. Anyone using Galaxy Note 2, kindly test 26.0.1 text selection and reply.

I solved it by upgrading to Beta.
