Hi.

I'm using Firefox 24.0 under LinuxMint 14. Sometimes, pull down menu does not work correctly. When I tap File or Edi or View, Menu blinks instantly.

To resolve, I restart Firefox. I disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available".

I also have such problems. You can go to Start menua nd acceess to All programs. Find and locate at Windows Update." Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation of recent Internet Explorer updates. Reboot your computer

Hi donlet, is there any pattern to when the menus stop working normally, for example, after using certain add-ons, or with certain kinds of media or certain pages in the browser?

My problem does not has any pattern. However I doubt my company's private webpage and LinuxMint 14. That is because when I use Ubuntu 9.04, I have never seen that problem.

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

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
