Description

Since update to Firefox 45.0 its not possible to edit texts or drag-n-drop new elements in an existing or new document. I assume this is caused by the update of Firefox.

Research direction
Investigate Firefox 45 changes that affect drag and drop and text editing in XUL based addons. Check if the issue reproduces in current Firefox versions (project is deprecated). Review the addon's XUL overlays and event handling code for compatibility issues. Consider modifying event listeners or using newer APIs if available.
