When visiting Springer's websites (and others), I cannot select any text using Firefox (but I can with Chrome). I cannot find the setting to modify to enable this ability (text selection).

I set: SmartBlock OFF (false) Proxy OFF

For example: https://actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/

can someone help me? Thank you in advance Maurizio

Super Balazs! Indeed, I disabled the addon I don't care about cookies and now I can select the test. Thank you very much

Hi Maurizio!

Are you by any chance using I don't care about cookies or similar extensions? It also broke the site for me. Could you check the page in private browsing? This still happens?

Regards, Balázs
