FTR, it works just fine on latest Windows 10 with Firefox 57.
Also, whatâs happening when you try to quote text on Windows 7? Nothing? An error?

Tested on this topic Importing from phpBB3 - few tries no open answer/reply with quote.
No see any visible error, I can not use webdeveloper tools.
Hmm, something has changed with FF 57. Most of the time, when I double click a line to have it highlighted, the quote button wonât showâŠ
With long paragraph (2+ lines) also wonât show button quote.
Interesting. On my computer the quote button shows up every time, but clicking it doesnât work most of the time.
Looks like the quote button doesnât work (most of the time), when double click was used to select a paragraph. It seems to work in all other casesâŠ

Double click + quote works for me (to highlight one word) , triple click + quote (to highlight a paragraph) does not work (before the Quantum update). I see the quote button in both cases, simply with the triple click nothing happens when I click âquoteâ.

Works fine for me in Firefox latestâŠ
OK, I reproduced the issue on Firefox 57 and fixed per:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ff1ce175fc2307323f934da48288eba7d9a667f8
What was happening is that sometimes our code was triggering a HARD infinite loop around text selection, where we were constantly re-selecting the same text.
This caused general unreliability on multiple platforms over the years and is part of the reason we debounce calls to the selection changed method.
