### Description
Hi there,
I’ve been working with CdkContextMenuTrigger in conjunction with CdkMenu and attempting to implement a copy/paste feature. However, I’ve encountered an issue specifically in Firefox: when the context menu opens, the selected text is unexpectedly unselected.
After some investigation, it appears that Firefox may automatically deselect text when focus shifts to elements outside the text container. While this behavior might be a limitation inherent to Firefox, I believe it is worth documenting.
Additionally, it is worth noting that the official CDK context menu example includes mocked "copy" and "cut" options, which exacerbates this issue.
Is this behavior something that can be addressed, or is it an inherent limitation of how Firefox handles text selection and focus?
Thanks!
### Reproduction
StackBlitz link: cf. https://material.angular.io/cdk/menu/examples
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to https://material.angular.io/cdk/menu/examples with Firefox
2. In "Context menu" example, try to select a portion of text and right click on it
3. See the menu is opened but the text is no more selected
### Expected Behavior
The text should remains selected
### Actual Behavior
The text is no more selected
### Environment
- Angular: 18.2.3
- CDK/Material: 18.2.3
- Browser(s): Firefox 130.0 (64 bits)
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Ubuntu 24.04
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza reproduciendo el problema en el ejemplo oficial de menú contextual de CDK con Firefox y, después, inspecciona el comportamiento de CdkContextMenuTrigger y CdkMenu en relación con la selección de texto y el foco. Se considera terminado cuando se determine si el texto seleccionado puede permanecer seleccionado al abrirse el menú contextual, o cuando se documente claramente la limitación de Firefox si no es posible.
