Suddenly the buttons at the top right are not working properly. There is no change in appearance when hovering the mouse over it. This does not occur immediately after I open firefox but shortly afterwards. I noticed by accident that if I open the options box and close it again these buttons will work for a while. It also applies to dialogue boxes that open up as well. I did not add any plugins, but I do believe there was a recent update for firefox installed. Thanks

It appears that you are running Firefox 16.0. Firefox 18.0 was released last week. Open up Help and click on About Firefox to start the update. Then see if that problem is gone.

Thanks, however I am on release 18.0. I am not quite sure yet but I think the problem may have solved itself. Since I first posted if happened a few times but nothing over the past couple of hours so perhaps the issue resolved itself. I'll repost if it does. Thanks again
