Latest:Firefox - Flatpak

The picture above is one example out of many websites (that have drag n drop features enabled). I'm not actually dragging or dropping anything, which makes this very frustrating, especially as I can't get rid of the bug either. If I reload, it will just happen again and again. As mentioned, this happens on ALL websites, including messaging platforms. What on earth could cause this? Just started happening last week or so.

It's honestly driving me 🥜🌰

Did your mouse sensitivity settings changed ? Does it happen on other browsers ? LibreWolf, Firefox ESR, Chromium, Otter etcetera ?

Its a Jurassic Park reference, but I don't understand why

Because the browser doesn't wait for you to drag and drop, it just wants to capture whatever goes over it.
