[Help] cursor behaviour ff mobile [desperate] (lemmy.world)

I use Fennec F-Droid (This does apply to normal ff mobile). When I hold the space key of the onscreen keyboard to control the cursor in a website's input field it doesn't move character by character but word by word. Is there a flag in about:config that changes it to go character by character instead? Their implementation is buggy and painful for me and the sole reason for why I feel forced to use Brave ๐Ÿ˜ญ pls help

I tried this on my end on fennec (installed from f-droid), seems to work for me. I tried a couple of websites. Can you add a few more details, like which keyboard you are using, ff version, OS version etc.
Edit:
I installed heliboard and tried moving the cursor and observed the same issues as you. If you are using heliboard, you should also check if the is from the keyboard.
