In FB, pop-down menus keep popping up in every post when I run my cursor across them and stay until I click on something

While I am generally scrolling through FaceBook reading/looking at posts and photos, as I move my cursor over the screen it activates pop-down menus in every post (even though I don't click my mouse on the menu tab of the post). The menu stays there covering each post until I click on something to have it disappear. It is most annoying as I can't continue to read the post until I get rid of the menu and I have to search for a spot somewhere on the screen that I can click my cursor so that it doesn't activate some un-wanted action.

Separate Security Issue, please update your Flash 25.0 r0 by removing it with this tool : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html If you use it Reinstall with Flash Player Version: 31.0.0.108 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Not a good sign with something that needs updating as soon as it is released as there are 100's of back doors to it and under attack.

Please open MS Settings --> System --> About and confirm your using current release version 1803 If not please Click on Update Now as next version is out in 2-3wks. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Please : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 62.0.0 with a Full Version Installer
