Whenever I am typing in the search bar, or the menu bar, an irritating drop-down menu appears. When I am in a regular page and try to tab from text box to text box the same #@#$ thing happens.

Whenever I hit "Command C" to copy and later paste--same stupid drop-down. It is so irritating I am down grading FF to 13 until it is solved.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
