This will triple click on the question you asked on this page. Hope it helps. The tricky part is pyautogui does not care about where the browser window is.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import pyautogui


driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\\Path\\To\\Your\\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63253535/how-to-triple-click-on-python-to-select-a-paragraph')
driver.maximize_window()

test_paragraph = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
    EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//p[contains(text(), 'Someone please tell me a way to triple-click ')]")))

# import time
# time.sleep(3)
panel_height = driver.execute_script('return window.outerHeight - window.innerHeight;')
abs_x = test_paragraph.location['x']
y = test_paragraph.location['y']
abs_y = y + panel_height
print("Absolute x : " + str(abs_x))
print("Absolute y : " + str(abs_y))

pyautogui.moveTo(abs_x + 10, abs_y)
pyautogui.click(clicks=3)
