Dialog box; When attempting to highlight/copy text (on any website) a dialog box appears preventing any highlighting/copying. HUGE ANNOYANCE!
Occasionally I will attempt to highlight/copy a ph. number or a specific line on a (any) website. Usually this will launch a dialog box with a few optional choices: copy, cut, paste, delete, select all, check spelling...ad blocker. Big annoyance, it was not always there, can anyone help in preventing this please?

That sounds like Firefox's context menu for editing controls, but you wouldn't expect to see it until you right-click your selected text.
