why in Privacy&Security is Cookies and site data, clear data and manage data greyed out
Why is it that in Options, Privacy& Security, Cookies and site data, that Clear data and Manage data are grayed out. In past iterations of Firefox, if I wanted to delete cookies it was a simple process. Now to get clear data or manage data to work I have to click on learn more and visit many pages before clear data and manage data become active options.
Don't tell me how to fix this - it's a DAMN BUG. Please fix it.

Give this a try : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 61.0.1 with a Full Version Installer

There was a bug in Firefox 60 that disabled the "Clear Data" and "Manage Data" buttons when browser.cache.offline.enable = false, but that is fixed in Firefox 61.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
