The search function appears to be broken. Clicking on suggestions does not select them.

Chosen solution

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

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

The problem seemed to sort itself. I have no idea why clicking on the suggestions didn't work soon after updating the browser but later in the day they just started working.

Sorry to have taken up your time and thanks for the response.
