Bug Description

Whenever I try to choose some files to upload from my local disk, the window that shows up doesn't let me choose files. It's like my left mouse button was always pressed and it's showing rectangular selection. Also I'm not able to press column headers to sort by. This started to happen after I upgraded to latest firefox 46. I did "refresh" firefox after upgrade.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

There have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.

When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

apport-collect 1581208

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
