  I am confused by the question. Firefox is a browser, not a search engine.

  Are you talking copy/paste?

  First off, ONE OF US.
  
  Secondly, what kind of phone do you use? Because I don't have that problem on the Firefox app on Android. Don't think I ever have.
  
  Hold, drag the pointers to select multiple words, that sort of thing.

  Same with me, on android. I press and hold, the standard menu pops up on top (copy, search, select all, share) and the blue pointers that let me drag to expand the highlighted area show up, and all works fine.

  For w/e reason I'm having trouble selecting/copying text when bringing up a website via FireFox - seems I'm only able to select the first word of a block of text - I even have some trouble pasting also - could be my ph but I don't have the same issue when using Chrome on my ph
  
  (in my OP I meant to say Chrome vs FireFox).

  This fucking FireFox sucks - I typed a long ass comment on a review, hit something on the page by mistake that took me to another page, hit the back'button, and my long-ass comment was gone (using on ph).

  You're just having the worst day.
  I usually recommend Firefox on the computer, not on the phone - but the app has never given me any issues.
  
  Also. Phone + "typed a long..." should never go together.

  I avoid using the ph when TUSCLing - but my laptop is being repaired so I'm laptop-less until tomorrow

  I switched back to Chrome on the ph till I get my laptop - I'm able to copy/select on Chrome just fine, just not on FireFox for some reason

  I wish I could ditch Google completely, but as far as browsers and a few other services of theirs, they overwhelmingly offer the best product.
  
  I did switch from their search engine though, as they started becoming to "Woke". But I was headed in that direction already because their algorithms are too based toward paid searches rather than accurate ones.
  
  A few times I almost got tricked into navigating to illegitimate websites which showed up on top simply because Google was paid to place it there.

  Let's see I can pick: Chrome, Edge(Chromium), Opera(Chromium), Safari, or Firefox. I don't have a mac so it's a no brainer for me.
  
  Noscript addon makes browsing a pain until you whitelist your favorite sites, but is so good. Something like 20+ scripts load up on most modern sites these days it's insane.
