RIght click menu isn't always opening, and even when it does, it doesn't always do commands

more options

It started happening yesterday, as far as I can tell, but when I right click, the menu won't always show up (on sites where it did before), and even when it does, it doesn't always do the action clicked on, even though the click was registered (saving a file, bookmarking a page, etc). I have closed and opened the browser several times, and while that fixes it somewhat, it quickly ends up not working again.

[cannot edit original post so here] Just realized no menus work anywhere, whether on the site pages or firefox menus. Checking some of the see also's that look relevant, that weren't identified in my searches here. If I find an answer I will post it here

Edit: no luck so far

Edit: tried safe mode, no luck. A full refresh did fix it, but I have been needing to reload the previous session which is a pain. Was surprised it wasn't carried over like everything else was (bookmarks, etc.)
