Since the most recenct upgrades, it is impossible to select and/or copy text
from any webpage.  I've dutifully searched through every Options tab (there's
nothing about this feature) and most of your bug reports.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any URL
2.Try to select text
3.

Actual Results:  
I could see the blue select background around the text, but as soon as I release
the mouse button, it dissappears.

Expected Results:  
Remained selected and capable of being copied

I suspect that an extension is causing this behaviour. Can you try in firefox's
safe mode to see if the problem still exists? Thanks!
