Selecting text on a web page changes Firefox's right click context menu, removing navigation options such as Back and Forward and adding the Copy option. This is annoying if, like me, you often a) select text on a web page and b) navigate using the context menu.

There are two solutions to this:
i) Always show the navigation options.
ii) When right-clicking off selected text, deselect the text, see MS Word for example.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select text.
2. Right click.

Actual Results:  
No Back option on the context menu.

Expected Results:  
Back option on the context menu.
