Copy function on Come Follow Me and Scriptures

We teach gospel doctrine using a PowerPoint. In the past, we have copied material from Come Follow Me and the Scriptures. Something has changed and we can no longer copy material by highlighting it and right clicking on it. There is now a circle with three horizontal dots in it on the page. This seems to be preventing us from using the copy function. Does anyone know how to get around this? This problem seems to be on all the content on LDS.org, including conference talks. When we highlight the text we want, the highlight disappears before we can mark copy. A blue quote symbol pops up momentarily.

We found out that if we updated Chrome we could copy. We still can't with Firefox. Maybe this will help someone else out.

I'm not currently having the selection problem on the Church website, but sometimes when a website hijacks text selection, I've been able to get around it by using the keyboard shortcut for copy before letting go of the mouse. So, mouse-down, drag to select, copy, mouse-up.
