Im back again with a reoccurring problem.

When I click on the back button a dropdown menu appears of where I have been before. It is irritating - how do I stop it from appearing?

I started in safe mode and looked at the exrensions/add ons I had. Deleted those that were there but I rarely used. Started back up in regular mode and the problem seems to be fixed.

Thanks

Did you try to click for a shorter time on the button and release the mouse button quicker?

Yes. I did it as fast as I could - still got the dropdown menu

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