I should have noticed that you're on Mac ...... (sorry  !)

This should be fixed in Firefox 57, so, if you can put up with this for just a few more weeks ........

Yes, this problem is annoying enough that I think I'll delete firefox altogether and just use safari. Thanks much : )

Mozilla should have fixed this train wreck sooner! I am deleting FF too! Stop being in such a hurry to change things and focus on making sure they work as they should!
