Right side of screen not working while using Firefox
The right side of screen, scroll and keys (close, minimize, etc..) on menu bar not working, any fix? When I move the entire screen leftwards, then the scroll and keys work...

Did you resize the browser windows before using the minimize and maximize keys? That's what it sounds like was done here.
One user discovered an add-on was causing problems.
Donthavecow, I resized to 110 and back to 100. Right side doing the same with both settings.
Now check this out - this morning when I turned on my computer and started to browse, a pop-up surfaced and asked to restart my computer. The system did it by itself without me typing. I searched under my account and it appears Mozilla/Firefox did something - don't know what. Now the right side is working again, but i don't for how long.
FredMcD, would you happen to know which add-ons create this issue for future diagnostics? I don't link to any third party software except my antivirus.
Then we need to see the screen of the entire computer display to see what error your talking about.

I don't know if it was Firefox that caused the reboot. I never heard of something like that.

I don't remember what is was.
That the problem is gone is good news.

I was concerned about the reboot and, like yourself, never saw that before. I attached an image. Right side, highlighted in blue was completely non functional. Thank you guys for replying back.
I do know that the side you referring to some of those action work when you on a actual website like www.google.com but if it's just a face page of firefox they won't be active.
Donthavecow, the key functions, on the menu bar and elsewhere on the screen, worked on every site visited. Why it stopped, I'll never know. Never had this happened before.
FredMcD, yes, somehow it fixed itself...
Thanks again, everyone...
Here's something I also noticed since you said they are working now - Windows 11 could also be the problem here. So it could be something related to Windows 11 as well. I am only Window 10 and won't go Windows 11 because they need to work out bugs in 11 until it becomes more stable.
