When I click the down arrow sign from the address bar, it no longer display a list of web sites I previously visited in a drop down box. Instead i just saw a quick blink of the drop down lists and disappeared. It just won't stay for you to scroll and choose your option. The same problem happens to all web sites I visited where a drop down box is activated. This problem happens September last year. I have no clue what cause Firefox suddenly behaves like this. Please help!

Thank you ,

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

The problem still exists after disable hardware acceleration in Firefox as advised. Whenever I try to click a drop down box, I saw a quick blink of the drop down list. It goes away so quickly that I am not able to stop it. It simply would not stop and wait for you to click one of the options in the list.

This means I cannot use Firefox for Internet banking/purchase etc. Because every time it prompts for a country, the drop down list won't wait for me.

This problem does not exist when I choose to use Internet Explorer as my browser. Why?
