Research direction
Investigate why triple click does not trigger text selection on column headers in Firefox. Check the component rendering column headers (likely in webapp/components/boardHeader or similar) for any event handlers that might be interfering with the default browser behavior. Compare with Chrome behavior to identify differences in event propagation. The fix may involve adjusting CSS user select property or ensuring no event.preventDefault() is called on click events.
