I can no longer highlight previous entries in forms on web pages so I can no longer delete ones I don't want?
I used to be able to use my mouse to highlight previous entries, like dates of service, in drop down boxes on web pages. Now I can easily show the drop down box and previous entries but am unable to highlight any of the entries and therefore cannot delete them?

I've noticed the same issue after a recent update to Firefox. I just tried your suggestion to use the arrow keys to highlight the entry, and that worked! I was able to delete it.
However, it was much easier when I could just use the cursor to highlight the entry, the way I can still use the cursor to select the entry I want to use in the form. This is a bug which Firefox needs to fix.

Thanks Fred, but did not help. There was no "Use Hardware Acceleration" to be found, so don't know about that. This seemed to happen after a recent update. Is there a way to return to previous version?

If you still want to downgrade, look under; I still want to downgrade. Click the Directory of other versions and languages link. Look for the directory of the version that you want. But, remember that old versions may have security issues.

If you do it with the keyboard -- click in the field and press the down arrow to move among items on the autocomplete list -- does Firefox show a selection bar or are all the entries just black on white, no distinction?
