As of Firefox 52, I'm planning to let the selection events API < http://w3c.github.io/selection-api/#user-interactions> ride the trains on all platforms. This feature has been implemented and enabled on Nightly behind the dom.select_events.enabled pref since September last year. Blink, WebKit and Edge are all shipping this API as well.
This feature was previously discussed in this "intent to implement" thread: <https://lists.mozilla.org/pipermail/dev-platform/2015-August/011406.html>. The credit for implementing it goes to Michael Layzell. Bug to turn on by default: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309612 Link to standard: http://w3c.github.io/selection-api/#user-interactions Note that there is a spec issue on this pending still < https://github.com/w3c/selection-api/issues/75>, but because of the reason stated in <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309626#c1>, I don't think the resolution to that needs to block Gecko shipping the API.
