Regardless of screen or Internet location this problem is extremely annoying. Many times I am trying to change the words in a search input field. Clicking on the left button to highlight or highlight drag a number of words fails but a menu which looks similar to the add-in menu for Tab Mix Plus appears. Tab mix plus has no entry for turning on a left click menu or turning off a left click menu. Nor does Firefox. How can I get this menu to stop appearing. Continuing to left click final works after the menu has appeared several time. Some times it does not do it at all.

hello bmazak, it sounds like an extension might be interfering here. please try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too.
