Help! Firefox in some permanent text-selection mode

I have installed Firefox browser from Yandex store. It worked nicely for a couple of weeks but then it went to a some kind of text-selection mode which I can't turn off. This turns the whole browser unusable. When I try to scroll page or point anything on a web page Firefox opens a menu with options to copy/paste/open-link-in-new-tab etc. In desktop Firefox analogy would be that it has "shift" or "control" key down or that it always clicks the right mouse button instead of the left one.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox won't help. Any ideas?
