Navigation buttons on websites dead unless I long press to open in a new tab

On numerous websites I am unable to click "Next" or any of the other navigation buttons that are available. If I want to move forward I must long press the button to "Open in a new tab". This problem does not occur in Private Browsing mode or when I use other Android browsers to view the site.

I have a suspicion it has to do with one of the uBlock filters, but I have no idea how to narrow it down without exposing my device to all the stuff I was blocking before.

I'm still trying to understand how to use the uBlock "My filters", "My rules", & "Whitelist" functions.

I'm including pictures of my uBlock settings and filters list along with my version of Firefox for Android.

Thank you to anyone who reads this, and especially to anyone who can help me fix this minor issue.

Hi

Does this issue happen when you have uBlock turned off?

I just tested it, and yes the problem still occurs even with uBlock turned off and my refreshing the page.

I've also noticed that sometimes when I go to click on the button (at least on reddit) that it will downvote whatever post is directly above the button. I make sure to undo that when I try to long press the "Next" button.
