Hallo,

at some websites I can not click on buttons or can open a scroll down menue. When I try it in a different browser there is no problem. An example is in google. When I want to login into an google account: Im able to go on the top right corner to login, then I enter my email. After this I try to click the continue button but nothing happens.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

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.

Hey, I deleted the cookies and the cache. It didn't help. Afterwards I startet Firefox in Safe mode. In Safe Mode the problem disappeared and I could open every side. So anybody an idea what can I change that in the standard mode the problem goes away ?
