opening a link disables right click features

[Craig]

Since the last up grade every time I open a link in a web page the right mouse button features stop working and I have to restart FF to correct the problem. If I try to cut and paste a document text from a file to post on the Internet the copy will go to clipboard but will not paste into text editor. on web sites. ARRGH!!

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
