Mozilla Ver. 59.0.1 - updated over the weekend (March 18, 2018). My form history dropdown only shows for a brief moment when entering in any kind of data (login credentials, contact forms, etc...). So brief that I am unable to select any kind of information from the dropdown menu.

I need the dropdown menu to stay open when typing in any form.

Chosen solution

Issue has been resolved. Here what I did:


Options menu > Privacy & Security > Clear All History. Selected Time range to clear: Everything. Then individually selected Browsing & Download History, Cookies, and Cache.

After a system reboot, the dropdown menu was working as intended.
