Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows the shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case content is blocked by Tracking Protection.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
- check the Web Console for more detail about what content is blocked by Tracking Protection

For now, since that dropdown 'Find a Store' doesn't work, you could use this link :
But hopefully the problem will be fixed after you've tried the suggestions that FredMcD and cor-el gave you ......

Screen shot attached. I restart the browser with addons disabled to eliminate that as the possible cause. The shield icon is not on as the screen shot shows. Nothing happens when I click on the highlighted hot section.
That link is not a button that opens a drop-down list for me as well. Clicking opens opens the above posted store link (https://www.lowes.com/store/) that opens a map in the tab where you can zoom in to your location. It is possible that this is a recent change on the website if it worked differently before.

OK, once a store is select then I see the down arrow that opens a 'Find a store' pop-up where you can select stores in the vicinity.

I have a store selected already and the arrow does nothing when I click on it. I assume that the source is in a frame because when I do "a get source" to see what the link is suppose to do I can't find the code. On hover I see that the link leads to "https://www.lowes.com/store/NJ-Flanders/1512" again but once I click on it nothing happens. I have already restarted the browser with add-ons off and in safemode, the issue is still there. So either its an issue with the ESR version of firefox or lowes.com coding. I tested the site on the normal firefox from another laptop and the click works.
Now if I open the site in private browser turning off my extensions, I can click and select a store. Once the store is selected I again can't click the link to change the store in the private session. Being its a private session no cookie corruption is possible since its wiped on close.
