The latest update broke mangadex.org. How do I fix this?
Before the update on 5/23/19, the web site worked fine. After the update, several portions do not work. They work on google chrome, so I'm sure there are no issues with the web site. I believe it has something to do with the new security settings. I attempted to turn off the new settings but the problem persists.

- How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
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?

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.

Screenshot of the errors for others to see.
Unfortunately there is really nothing to take a screenshot of as there are no error codes or popup errors that appear. I can describe the problem.
Going to the site you are greeted with a window that has two selections under the latest update area in the middle of the screen, All and follows. The all selections is already selected and trying to select the follows tab does not work. Clicking does nothing.
In addition, any of the menu selections at the top of the screen that have sub-menu items are also not click-able. Finally, when you attempt to read on of the chapters, this results in basically a blank page and, again, any menu items with sub-menus are not click-able.
Just to reiterate, all of these functions are available and usable with other browsers as I have tested with Chrome and Edge.
If you have any other questions please let me know.

I cleared my cookies and cache and turned off HW accel. And now the site works as intended. I then re-enabled HW accell and everything seems to be ok.
Thank you for the information and the solution. Marking as solved.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
