Hi,
You can try to check if this in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.
Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes
An even easier way would be to Reset Firefox via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information and start afresh hopefully avoiding the problematic add-ons.

i opened in safe mode and disabled add ons and tab buttons worked,then i restarted firefox and went down the extensions list and checked each til i found the one causing the problem
