Dropdown menu do not work after update
Hi I've updated to version 93.0 on a Windows 8 laptop. I try to support a website for a camera club that I'm a member of. The problem I'm having is that when I go to the website http://cranburydigitalcameraclub.org/ and try to click on any of the dropdown menus, nothing happens. e.g. Hover over Calendar and they click on Main calendar. I've tried this with Chrome and it works there. Another member has spotted the same behavior.
I'll guess that it is java related. Did something change recently? I know java hasn't been supported but this has worked for several years now.
thanks in advance Will

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

- How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
Hi FredMcD I'm afraid TroubleShoot Mode didn't help. I tried re-installing Firefox and that also didn't help. Disabling smartblock didn't help either.

Right. For now you can enter about:config in the URL bar and switch the dom.keyboardevent.init_key_event.enabled preference to true, then refresh the page.
This javascript function is deprecated in Firefox, also above pref will be removed in the future.
See MDN Page for details.
Hi TyDraniu Thanks that works for me. However, I'm a little reticent to be asking my club members to go through this process. Is there a coding fix that I could apply to fix this? (Other than the obvious "don't use javascript" as that would require a complete rewrite and the "webmasters" are volunteers who rarely program java)

Yes, there is a simple coding fix in a link I provided earlier.
