I not keep down menus open long enough to select favorites, get to options or to print etc. The menu and the favorites open but won't let me scroll down to select. They close before I click on anything. In Favorites I have various folder but can not get them to click on the site I want because the drop down disappears. The same thing happens with the favorites menu bar list that extend beyond the the bar at the top of the browser.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I am using a Mac, do not have hardware acceleration or flash enabled, do not have two versions of any one plugin, and am now encountering the same problem.
