I am unable to click on the search suggestions on Google, I can only select them with the keyboard arrows. Is it just me or is this a known bug?

I have only noticed this in the last week or two. I'm pretty sure it didn't start with the Quantum update, I am positive i would remember being this annoyed for a full two months. I removed the Ublock Origin and UMatrix addons to be sure they were not blocking something. I have had constant issues with Gorhill's ad blocking addons for several months now. Namely, UMatrix would arbitrarily block completely non-malicious objects on major sites like Google and Amazon, and sometimes, even when I told the filter to completely ignore an entire site, it would still block certain elements. I even saw three instances where completely disabling the Add-on was not enough and I had to actually uninstall the addon to access the blocked site. If no one else reports this issue, I may end up just reinstalling Firefox and then reinstalling Umatrix. If the issue starts again, then I will know, and I will stop using Umatrix until Gorhill get's his shit together.

Then remove and uninstall the addon blocker and try again. FF isn't responsible for what Addons do.

OK I discovered through trial and error that the addon that was blocking this is "enable right click" by Afnan Khan. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enable-rightclick-and-copy/?src=api I removed it and replaced it with "happy right click". https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/%E5%BF%AB%E4%B9%90%E5%8F%B3%E9%94%AE/ Now I can click on search suggestions again.

Thank you for reporting back. Since the issue was with left-clicking, that's definitely not an obvious explanation. But now that I look at the reviews, there definitely seem to be issues in the current version of Firefox...
