Installed the latest version on iMac v58 a day or two ago. Since then many times I open pages (especially various email accounts) and the text is no longer able to be highlighted / selected with cursor and if I click ANYWHERE on a page, it acts as a "back" button; taking me to the previous page. I restart Firefox, it happens again after a short time surfing. This does not occur in Safari. It IS a problem with latest version of Firefox v58 for mac. Links do NOT work, upon clicking them, I am sent back to the previous page loaded. This ONLY occurs with Firefox (not other browsers) and started immediately upon the auto install of latest version of Firefox.

I also need to reinstall the previous version off Firefox (that actually works AND prevent auto-install of buggy new versions like Mac 58 ... HOW?
