Android - Text selection erratic as hell (feddit.uk)

On both the standard version and Firefox Focus (both from Play Store), when ever I try and select text to copy the page jumps around erratically. Sometimes it selects all the text on the screen, sometimes it jumps to the top of the page.

It's become impossible to select any sections of text. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

thanks

tl;dr ... it is the web page you are trying to copy from... and the operating system touch screen support... not the browser. You outta luck here... use a different OS or copy from a different web page.
