As the title says … ever since Firefox v110, whenever I view a post (content, images or reactions) on LinkedIn and close it again by clicking outside the pop-up, text gets randomly selected. Still occurring in Firefox v120 on Windows 10.
Interestingly, the problem doesn’t occur if I close the pop-up using the “X” button.
Really annoying. I wonder if other Firefox users encounter this problem as well? Please let me know!
Maybe file a bug report so that developers can help solve the issue, if you have time.

Thanks, maybe I will. It could be a problem on the side of LinkedIn too of course.
Happens on both LinkedIn and Instagram, never actually checked what causes it…
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some click event listener firing off a synchronous xhr telemetry request when you close the popup, which freezes the main thread long enough to make the browser think you’ve selected some text
I don’t use LinkedIn often but I notice the same behaviour when using Instagram.
Yeah I have this issue sometimes too.
