Menu issues with a site in FF but not in Safari
I use a site for business which has a static menu across the top of the page which for a long time has worked just fine. Now since the last update in FF, the menu is no longer there, but a square button appears on the right. When clicked a page opens in the same tab and it has the missing menu items there. However when you move your mouse to click on the one I want, any menu item your mouse crosses automatically opens which takes you away from the menu page. Frustrating to say the least. What do I need to do to get the original menu back where it belongs? Keep in mind the site works fine as before. This problem happened with the last FF update.

This is a little hard to visualize but it sounds like a mobile menu layout instead of a desktop menu layout.
If you reduce the zoom on the page --
hold down the Command key and tap the minus key once or twice
-- does the full menu appear? If so, the page probably has a "responsive" layout that modifies its appearance based on resolution. But I don't know why it would change suddenly after an update. ??
Awesome! Thank you so much! I forgot to check that. So glad I don't have to replace FF, I have used it for years and I love it. So glad this fixed it. You're the best! Thanks again! God Bless You!
