Unable to select text in the middle of a link

Hi,
I'm on Firefox 75 and it has the same behavior as Edge, can't select a part of the text from the middle of the link..

all you have to do is hover your mouse over the link and then hold CTRL, you will be able to do exactly like in Opera

Oh lol nice,
