Hi,

I have a couple of problems with the right mouse click (see attached pictures) as well as with writing in the current Firefox version: 1) When I right-click there is an empty menu. When I go over the menu, the options appear. 2) Sometimes I get a weird font when writing (e.g. in the search field). 3) Firefox is while writing always a second behind.

The problems don't exist in Windows and other Browser like Chrome. I have tried to reset Firefox but it didn't help. In "safe mode" the problems don't exist.

Thanks in advance!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

As I wrote above (In "safe mode" the problems don't exist.) in "safe mode" everything works fine.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac=<Command>)<Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.

If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.

Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

Thanks a lot - it seems like this was the solution! I found this solution already in another post and thought that I have turned it off, but it seems like I didn't! Thanks again!
