Ubuntu: Select some text on a page and click the "+" to open a new tab, middle clicking in the address bar to paste that text (Im on Ubuntu) pastes last URL

In Ubuntu It should paste the selected text. If I middle click elsewhere before I open the new tab, it pastes the text. Once I click the "+" the URL of the previous tab is instantly (with no visual feedback) copied to the middle click "clipboard" (not the common clipboard of a Ctrl+C action)

Any idea? I'm pretty sure this is something new as it is something I regularly do trying to google text from a page on a new tab.

Seems to be working here with the Firefox version from the Mozilla server.

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.

Thank you and sorry for the late reply. I was on off on a long weekend. Both Ubuntu Mint and Mozilla's website offer the same version (60.0.1 as of today). Downloaded from Mozilla's website, exited FF and run sudo mv /usr/lib/firefox/ ~/temp/ to keep backup of old installation sudo mv ~/Desktop/firefox /usr/lib/ to move extracted new FF.

Launched FF without getting any "welcome" msg or something. Logged in to my Sync account automatically, and session tabs restored like nothing changed. Same error as initially posted still exists. Any hints?
