As per the title, neither text selection nor right-clicking work on donegaldaily.com.
Donegaldaily.com seems to be run in an extraordinarily nasty way by people who want your web traffic but believe that they should get to fight you for control of your computer, and they seem to be going to great lengths to disrespect your property rights and your equal and fair use rights.
Tested with an embarrassingly old Firefox version.
The add-on Enable Right Click and Copy 2017.4.12 does make this work, as does Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy.

I tried to have a poke around under the hood (which they're also trying to block), and maybe these are involved:
script#wpcp_disable_selection
script#wpcp_disable_Right_Click
However I didn't really get on top of things myself, and those two may also be red herrings, because there's loads that site tries to do to fight you for control. And just like devious spyware or malware authors, the nasty folks at donegaldaily.com see nothing wrong with their antisocial coding, using the same excuse of, "but you're accessing OUR stuff, so we can do whatever we like on YOUR system." Cue aggravation and support calls from people who think their browser is broken. Not that the entitled DonegalDaily delinquents care one bit for that, because those are other people's problems, and they only care for themselves.
