Firefox: Odd disappearing text problem

[Jeff7]

In Firefox, try this:
Highlight some text.
Press and hold Shift.
Double-click within the highlighted text.

It should disappear. The only way I can get it to reappear is to reload the page. Is this a bug, or a "feature?"

I'm using v.93 right now.

ahhaha .. holy crap ... that works on my PR Release too. I wonder what's up. Try the mozillaline forums.

It doesn't work in the PR release for me. Maybe it's an extension that you guys have installed.

 

[screw3d]

Nope, doesn't work for me.

Works on my PR release, too. Must be some kind of extension we we have.

File a bug.

 

[Confused]

Damn...makes all the text in the table disappear here on the forums!

 

[Sid59]

I have all of those except for Adblock and the glitch doesn't work on mine. Perhaps Adblock is "blocking" text?

 

[Jeff7]

My extensions:
Adblock v.5 d2 nightly 39
DictionarySearch 0.6.3
DownloadWith 0.0.7
Sort Bookmarks 0.5.0.1
Popup Count 0.2.5
Plain Text Links 0.2
Download Manager Tweak 0.5.0
AutoForm 0.5.2
Duplicate Tab 0.3



Oh, it also works on images.

wow... that's actually a cool stuffs. Feels like NukeAnything -D

in any case, i have with me:
adblock (which seems common for people who can replicate the "bug")
flashblock
extension uninstaller
web developer extension
small screen rendering
calendar
nuke anything
paste and go

 

[Sid59]

it's adblock. i disabled it and the text does not disappear.

In any case it's probably not a bug. I love how firefox is designed to let you easily remove anything from a rendered page. I figured it was NukeAnything because Adblock works on a url basis (or so I thought) but looks like I'm wrong.
