The drop down boxes don't stay opemn long enough for me to make a choice. It only started to happen when I downloaded the latest version. How do I fix this?
Whenever I scroll over a drop down box, the box doesn't stay open long enough for me to make a choice. For instance when I click on the orange Fire Fox tab, it takes several tries for me to get my cursor over the item I want to select. This happens on websites that have drop down boxes as well.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.

yes it happens in safe mode as well.
Please see if this goes away when menu animation is turned off / changed in Windows.
how do i turn off the menu animation in Windows?
In the Start menu right-click Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Advanced > Settings (under performance) > Visual Effects. You can disable all or try toggling a few to see if the issue goes away.
Is this a Firefox only issue? Please also check if there's a userChrome.css file in the chrome folder inside the profile folder - In Firefox click Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder and rename the userChrome.css, if present.
This did not fix the issue. When I did what you suggested, Google stopped working. I have discovered this is not only a Fire Fox issue. My accounting software program has the same problem.Ran a virus scan with nothing being detected.
Most likely, this is not a virus issue. Troubleshooting Aero or updating the video drivers may help (Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Troubleshooting > All Categories >Aero and Windows Update > Optional updates.. I think it would be helpful if you could post the issue in a Windows 7 OS forum.
