With Firefox 76.0.1, when I click a link, then click "back", the page thinks I'm still holding down on the thing I clicked, and have it in a drag&drop state. Then I have to click somewhere else to release it.

If you reduce all legislative action to "whatever it wants ... anytime it wants to" then there's no point in discussing any of this; they can just pass an amendment to the Constitution. You're right, it's not a comm
