Sometimes Firefox doesn't register my clicks (e.g. in Google Translate, certain maps, etc) - what can I do?? All other apps register my clicks except Firefox

more options

I cannot register my clicks in certain sites, like Google Translate, Google Maps, Yahoo search history. Please see attached screenshot for example when I click on a language there, my click is not registered, the language is not selected. The only way for me to select a language there for example is to use arrow keys and Enter , not mouse click :( I only have this problem with Firefox, I don't have it with any other browser

Does your computer have a touchscreen (not a touch pad but a touch-sensitive display)? Sometimes on a computer with a touchscreen Firefox will only work with certain drop-down menus using touch and not the mouse. In other cases, you can use either. A couple users reported that earlier this year with the HP Spectre x360.

I don't currently know of a solution for that. You can review an earlier thread for possible inspiration: Dropdown-toggle bug with HP Spectre x360?
