User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Steps to reproduce:
I visited this page:
https://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2019/04/25/primary-concerns/
All the non-scrolling things give me migraines.
Actual results:
I can use userContent.css to remove some things, but not the right sidebar. I can't "inspect element" on it.
Expected results:
Users should be able to "select element" on any element.

I don't see "Inspect Element" missing or unusable anywhere on what might be considered a "right sidebar" on that page. I also don't see what the sidebar has to do with things that don't scroll, since it's the main background that's fixed.
You can add the following to your userContent.css to prevent fixed backgrounds, though in this case it enlarges the image considerably and it looks blurry as a result.
* { background-attachment: scroll !important; }
I'd used these to clear up the other non-scrolling elements, but that right sidebar eluded me:
- { background-image: none ! important }
@-moz-document domain("patheos.com") {
.writer-theme{ background-image: none ! important }
.social-sharing .icons{display: none ! important }

Hi, MarjaE!
I tried to reproduce this with the latest Firefox Nightly 68.0a1 (2019-04-30). I can consistently use the "Inspect Element" item from the context menu as well as the Element Picker in the DevTools Inspector on any of the elements in the right hand sidebar. So I can't reproduce the bug as described.
The User Agent string of your report suggests you're using Firefox 60
Are you able to test this with Firefox Nightly and still reproduce?
Can you share a short screen recording or a screenshot of the issue?
For whatever reason, the right sidebar no longer shows up.
I tested on WF 56 and FF 66. I posted from WF because I have not yet fixed enough FF bugs to use FF without migraines.
I cannot test on Nightly; the last time I tried that, I lost a number of safety fixes in Stylus, I tried to restore from backup, I lost all my safety fixes, and I was hurt by FF's default settings. Please do not ask users to try Nightly or otherwise injure ourselves.

I don't know what you mean by WF.

I'm sorry you encountered a bug that messed-up your setup. I can imagine how frustrating it is. I had a similar issue and lost my profile.
When we do try to reproduce bugs before prioritizing them, we look at Nightly to check whether the issue is still present or if it was accidentally fixed by another patch. Since we can't reproduce the bug as described and you no longer see the sidebar, I will close this bug for now.
Feel free to reopen if you discover a way to reproduce it again or if you can share a video/screenshot to help us find a fix.
