I'm having a problem with my touchscreen laptop where, when I try to scroll in Firefox, it automatically selects text instead of scrolling. Is this an issue that's specific to Linux or Firefox? Is there a way to adjust the settings to fix this?

This could be a combination of both hardware and software factors. First, check the settings in your Linux distribution to see if there are any specific options for touchscreen controls. Additionally, older laptop models might interpret touch inputs similarly to mouse actions, which could cause the selection issue. It’s worth comparing your settings with what’s available for your device.
If your laptop is brand new, it might help to double-check the manufacturer’s settings for the touchscreen. Some laptops have different modes for how touch input is interpreted. Looking into the Linux Mint documentation or forums could also provide insights since each distribution may handle touch input differently.
