Middle click paste triggers when it shouldn’t

I use Firefox on X11/GNU/Linux. The X11 convention is to paste the selected text into a text box on a middle click.
I also use the autoscrolling feature in Firefox (Preferences → General → Browsing → [x] Use autoscrolling. With this, a middle click in a page displays a circle at the mouse position, and moving mouse away from this circle initiates scrolling in the corresponding direction. Alternatively, holding down the middle button and moving it around also works.
It is obvious to me that middle-click paste should only trigger if I click in an editable text box such as an <input>, <textarea>, or any element with the contenteditable attribute set to true.
However, on some sites, I find that selected text is pasted when I intend to scroll. On Reddit, it happens when I scroll and release the middle button in the comment entry text box. On Slack, after their today’s update, it happens any time I middle-click on anything that does not handle middle clicks on its own (e.g. links).
Slack support says they can’t test or debug on X11/GNU/Linux.
I tried making a simple page with a contenteditable element in it. It does not exhibit this issue. Text is pasted if and only if I start and end the click inside the text box.
How do I debug it further?
How do I get rid of an incorrect auto-populating password?

I accidentally entered some characters into the password field of a website I often use. I don't have a password for the site.
Now, whenever I browse to the site Firefox automatically puts those characters into the password field. Then every time I browse elsewhere on that site firefox says "Would you like to save this login?" Of course, I don't want to save it since it's incorrect. The problem is that this box pops up whenever I browse and I have to get rid of it each time.
I have tried getting rid of it by deleting the entry in the history library, but that doesn't work. I think it's because the history library is only for deleting *entered* passwords.
Where can I delete this?
When I open my most visited tabs (Top Sites) with triple-click (open in new background tab), they started sorting incorrectly yesterday.
Let's say I'm in New Tab, and I triple-click 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Top Sites in that order. In the past, the order of tabs would be New Tab, 1, 2, 3. Since yesterday's update… (funda kabanzi)
Let's say I'm in New Tab, and I triple-click 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Top Sites in that order. In the past, the order of tabs would be New Tab, 1, 2, 3. Since yesterday's update, the order is now New Tab, 1, 2 (as usual), but then 3rd Top Site opens up right behind New Tab, so the final arrangement is New Tab, 3, 1, 2. Why on earth could this be happening!?
After a reinstallation of firefox (ubuntu), I still have my bookmarks and logins saved in the old firefox folder, but i can neither decrypt nor import

I had to uninstall and reinstall firefox on my computer, because for some reason it wasn't online, while every other app was. After I tried everything else, i uninstalled and reinstalled again and after a restart of the computer it was all good. except my passwords and bookmarks are still in my filesystem, but don't show up. I have tried importing it back, but the preferences don't have an import option and i didn't find any plugins either for it. Copypasting to the new account "somethingsomething.default" folder, the json file with key3.db didn't make a difference either.
any tips on how to solve this problem? i am honestly lost

I have just reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 and FF 60.8.0esr, just found out that FF does not open URL link in email in a tab, instead opens up a new browser! In my previous install, this version of FF was working fine, but there's a difference, I had installed a newer version of FF in my previous install, but on this one, I removed the FF that came with Ubuntu and installed 60.8.0esr (reason for using this specific version is newer ones some sites that I need to visit quite often does not work). How can I fix or troubleshoot this problem? ps: dual boot Windows 8.1 + Ubuntu 16.04.
