Firefox can't open new tabs, focus in the address bar or go to the preferences / add-ons screen
My Firefox has randomly broken itself overnight. I'm on the latest version as of the 28th of March 2018.
When I start Firefox, I get no focus ring in the top search bar. I'm completely unable to open a new tab. If I try to open Preferences, it takes a good 30 seconds to do so, and once it opens I can't interact with the page other than scrolling it. I can't open the addons screen, or do anything else with the browser. Every interaction with the browser has a significant delay.
When I restart in safe mode, none of these problems occur. Please note I have tried the following steps already:
- Disabled all addons - Removed all addons - Disabled custom themes - Reverted to default theme - Disabled hardware acceleration
Can anyone please help? My browser is basically completely non-functional for no apparent reason. Please note that literally every other piece of software on my machine works fine, including other browsers like Safari and Chrome.
