I reinstalled Firefox 61.0 (64 bit) without deleting any folders, before reading this post, and the lost function returned. That was the beginning of my plans, but it is obvious that further steps are no longer tramping. At least now.

Allows me to enter the Title, allows me to enter Short Text, but blocks the entry of Content. Can not click and enter the pointer in the form. I can not enter anything in the form for Content. In some recent Firefox versions, there were some bugs or problems. It has become irritating. I do not have enough time to find solutions to each problem. What is left of me - it's asking you to let me download the version 60.0 for which I've solved all the problems.

HI, please see if any Extensions are the issue: Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

SafeMode-Fx35

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Safe Mode did not help solve my problems. It just made me mess in Firefox. I think the worst way is to let me download version 60.0 and install it after uninstalling version 61.0. This tremendous correspondence and jumping around the problem is just a big waste of time, which I do not want to leave. When you discover a problem - please let me know, you have my address. mountman

If you go to uninstall FF delete the Mozilla folder as well to prevent anything there causing the new install problems. Then reinstall FF61 and see if anything changes. Make sure to get FF61x86 or FF61x64 based on your system O/S. That the biggest change I got when I update from FF56 to FF57+ FF matches to your O/S bit version.

I know the pain. When I upgraded from FF56 to FF57+ I had some odd issues happening. For me what helped like I mentioned was complete FF uninstall and Mozilla folder deletion just in case any legacy files or bugs remained from past FF. And then did a clean FF57+ install and that in my case fixed my odd FF behaviors. But remember to backup any bookmarks just incase you made some and them import them back to the new FF if you use bookmarks.
