Menu bug on Samsung Note 10.1 Tablet

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet Android 4.3 Firefox 29.0.1

The Firefox menu is indeed intermittent on this device. It is NOT user error or inexperience.

- If you cold-start Firefox, the menu works (accessed via the tablets menu softkey). - Menu may work for a few instances, then fails to open at all, even with repeated pressing of the menu softkey. - Menu only stops working if you actually go into Menu -> Settings. Selecting "New Tab", "new Private Tab", or any of the "Tools" menu options can be done repeatedly and does not break the menu. - Menu softkey is working & responsive (lights upon touch, works in other applications). - Forcing Firefox closed, then restarting it restores the menu operation temporarily (same issue reoccurs).

I have the same tablet with the same issue.

The work around that I have found, is to install something called fast reboot and then you select this everytime the menu disappears then it is available again

HI Buster2209 and TBacker, This sounds great that there is a work around. If I may ask, does this continue to crash if you temporarily turn off Adblock plus?

more options

My device isn't rooted, so I don't have adblocker installed on the device, but I do have it installed as an add-on in Firefox and it works fine after I use Fast Reboot.
