When i try to hover mouse over drop down menu nothing happens, if i click on it then it opens in a new tab.
I have windows 8 and I noticed that when I am on a website that has a drop down menu and i hover my mouse over it nothing happens. If i click on the drop down arrow it opens it like it is a link in a new tab instead of showing the tab options. Also if you are familiar with fantasy football on yahoo.com there are little boxes next to players that when clicked on usually open up a news article about the player. This feature is also not working, it just opens a whole new tab and doesn't display the correct information. This only happens with firefox IE works fine on the same computer. Please Help.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
If the above does not help;
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences<Enter> in the address bar
Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
