Disable Link Dragging in Firefox, Is It Possible?
Hello.
Here is my problem. Recently (as recent as one year or so), somehow Firefox manages to grab a link with my mouse or Wacom's pen so that when I click somewhere on a website's page, it unwantedly drops the link and load the new page.
I really don't know why and how the browser manages to grab a link (maybe somehow it interprets my way of moving the cursor or else). It happens sometimes but not all the time. Then I need to click somewhere within the page to bring the focus to the page (otherwise, I can't navigate in that page using key like page down or up, home or end or scrolling with the page). So when I click within the page I want to navigate, Firefox assumes I want to drop the link that was attached to the cursor on this new tab. It loads the new page forcing me to use back button to go back to the page it was there.
The only solution to this dilemma seems being completely disabling link dragging and dropping feature. Is it possible to do so?
Thanks.

So what site is this happening at?
Well, I haven't kept the track of sites because to my understanding it can happen at any site (and it has happened at many different sites). It's not about the site, it's just that somehow Firefox grabs links or url addresses too easily without me doing anything in particular or even noticing it at all. It then drops in that link and load the page as soon as I click somewhere with my mouse. Also if I click inside a box to input a text, Firefox then drops the picked link in that box as a text address. I have other browsers on my system (Chrome, Opera, Edge, Explorer). None of them exhibit this problem. It's only Firefox.
