Until this bug is fixed you can use one of these workarounds: - Use shift-arrow-down instead to select the text - Select the text starting from the bottom - go upwards. - Make the addon bar visible - Make the find bar visible - These addons can put a toolbar at the bottom: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/split-pannel/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchbastard/
