Hello
I have a Microsoft Surface it is one of the older models. I am having trouble figuring out how to move bookmarks and shortcuts in Firefox browser.
On a standard PC desktop I just take the mouse click and hold on the bookmark I want to move and drag it to the new location.
On the Microsoft Surface this does not work I have tried everything I know of but cannot move my bookmarks at all.

I have one of the special pointer click pins and even that does not work so I'm at a loss. Does anyone know a trick for doing this on a Microsoft Surface?

Thanks for any assistance

Ok
I have just found that I can copy the bookmark then paste it where I want it then delete the original bookmark. Kind of a workaround but a bit tedious.

May be an issue with the touch screen. There really is no secret. It's designed to be simple
