Droplists on web pages won't open for me. The only way for me to access selections in the droplist is to focus it, then use the up/down arrows. It never shows a drop GUI.

I've tried starting in safe mode (with all boxes checked), re-installing, and changing themes, but nothing seems to fix it.

This happens on drop-lists like the one on this page (that says "This happened"), and even on a simple HTML file I wrote:

<form action=""> <select name="Numbers"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> </select> </form>

-edit-

I figured it out. I'm using a program called Actual Window Manager that seems to be causing the issue. Disabling it for Firefox fixes the problem.
