I’ve wanted to open videos in Facebook in another window. I used to be able to do this by clicking Control and the video. A menu would pop up that says ‘Show video URL’. Now I hold control and click and the menu comes up, but it disappears as soon as I release Control – so I can’t select anything.

Is this a new FB ‘feature’? Or did something change in my settings?
