Windows 10, Firefox 67.04 currently.

This has been happening for a few months now and it's driving me nuts. On Facebook mainly sometimes when I click on a field to type somethign in Firefox will automatically paste in a hyperlink. I can't get it to consistently happen, it does seem it's usually when I move my mouse to the left. I have no addons other than uBlock Origin. I can't find a setting anywhere. Anyone see this before? Thank!

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Firefox comes with a pref named middlemouse.paste, but I think that this pref is false by default on Windows. You can check on the about:config page if this pref is still false or is user set (bold).

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
