There are some hyperlink points on a web page that can cause this selection issue to manifest. When you are holding the mouse button down while selecting a region or text string on a web page, if you pass over one of these hyperlink points on the web page, the selection will reset from that point, so the area that was being selected is no no longer highlighted. I am not sure if this is what you are referencing, but this may have to do with a recent change to Firefox. I think there needs to be more experimenting to isolate.
