WFM with FF23 and FF25. Screenshot with FF25: http://i.imgur.com/Tpi3pYF.png

Could you test, please:

1) in safe mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

2) with a clean profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Does it work as intended?

I checked with FF 22 and 23 on other PCs and it seems to work there.

Now I noticed that right clicking on some typed text behaves as expected (as on your screenshot), while right clicking in the empty area below the last text line does not. When above that area, the mouse pointer has the "pointer" form instead of the "I" form.

So I guess this is some complicated GUI that is relayouted "in the background" and those parts are not considered as "text area" by the browser.

Probably, yes.
