calendar.google.com - clicking to edit event time selects time instead of inserting edit cursor

URL: https://calendar.google.com

Browser / Version: Firefox 106.0
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: Yes Chrome

Problem type: Something else
Description: Clicking Google Calendar event's time selects time instead of inserting edit cursor in Firefox
Steps to Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using Firefox, log into Google Calendar: https://calendar.google.com/
2. Click an event to open its summary popup.
3. Click the popup's "Edit event" button.
4. Single click the event detail page's start or end time, such as 12:00pm. The event time will be selected in Firefox and Chrome on Windows and macOS and in Safari on macOS.
5. Single click the event time again to insert an edit cursor.

Expected result:

An edit cursor should be inserted in event time so you can type or select individual digits. This is want happens in Chrome on Windows and macOS and in Safari on macOS.

Actual result:

In Firefox, the event time is still fully selected and no edit cursor is inserted. I can reproduce this behavior in the Firefox Nightly 106 (Windows and macOS) and ESR 91.13.0esr, so this is not a (recent?) Firefox regression.

Single click the event detail page's start or end time, such as 12:00pm. The event time will be selected in Firefox and Chrome on Windows and macOS and in Safari on macOS.

I can still reproduce this bug in Firefox Nightly 116. Interestingly, Safari's behavior (now version 16.5) seems to be different now from what I described back in 2022: the first click to focus the event time field inserts an insertion point cursor instead of selecting the event time. The second click selects the time. This is the reverse of Chrome's behavior.
