I have a Network Access Server (NAS) running on a Raspberry Pi 3 and to administer the NAS, you access the NAS by entering the IP address in the web address field. Once logged in, there are different options along the left side which when you click on them, should change the screen on the right. However when you click on any of them, nothing happens. There is a drop down box on the upper right where you can log out/ shut down / reboot, etc, but that no longer opens when you click on it, so the only way to get out of it, is to close firefox or close the tab.

Firefox used to work fine till the recent updates. Now if I need to make any changes to the NAS, I have to use a different browser like Microsoft Edge and everything works fine.

I am running Firefox Quantum 57.0.2 on a Windows 10 computer.

Any suggestions on how to correct this issue?

uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gigs) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.2 with a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Is all I can think of. I run a NAS but as a normal H/drive.

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You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.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 the cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Clear the cache:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
