Hi. I'm having problems with the dropdown menu. It started with this computer, and all of the settings are the same. Whenever i open up a dropdown menu to choose from a list of items, it shows a black box, and when i run my cursor over the item, it shows it, but only that single one. Ive tried many things including many of the settings in the options menu. The images wouldnt load sadly. Thank you.

Disable hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if that fixes your issue. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration#w_turning-off-hardware-acceleration

You can try a different Windows theme and Windows background image (wallpaper) to see if that helps. The Windows theme you use may be compatible with the current Firefox release, so you may have to try out other themes if the one you currently use doesn't work as expected.
