for the copying issue https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/126rtip/copyingcutting_text_switches_to_another_tab/ "" When I press Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, or copy/cut by right-clicking, Firefox sometimes switches to another tab. This happens sporadically, and seems to resolve itself without restarting the browser or even closing any tabs.

This happens on multiple sites, from search engines to Google Docs to Reddit: any time I try to copy text I get switched to a random tab. This has happened to me 5 times as of now, some of those occurring after a reboot.

The posts on Reddit are over a year old, and some are over two years old. I wonder whether anyone has filed a bug for this, or whether it is too hard to replicate/too rare? You could check on:
