Menus disappear
Using FireFox ESR 17.011.
This just started recently. When opening a menu from the menu toolbar, the menu pane will open and initially display the menu options, but will disappear, sort of. It is almost like it is putting the menu into the background because there is a faint outline of the menu option box and if I click in an area where a list item is, that item will open.
Initially, this was just an annoyance, now it is a hindrance.
Steps to resolve: 1. Restarted in Safe mode - all menus work as expected. 2. Disabled ALL addons - menus still do NOT work 3. Reset FireFox - menus still do not work 4. Uninstalled/Reinstalled - menus still do not work
On the reinstall, I did not delete all of my content and settings. I will need to export my personal data first before I can do a new clean install. I would rather not do this as there is obviously an issue here.
From what I was able to find online, the steps reproduced should have helped resolve this issue, they have not.
What I would like to do, is reset FireFox back to default, removing any and all addons, but retaining my personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc...).

hello radi8, that's probably an issue with hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver, or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general.

You are right, this appears to be working so far.
Thanks!
Note that the 17.0.11esr may be the last update for the old 17.0esr channel once Firefox 26.0 and 24.2.0esr(based on Firefox 24.0) is released in a week. It is possible there may still be a 17.0.12esr then.
I hope that the new ESR's work with corporate applications like JD Edwards. FireFox was the browser of choice up until release 20+ came out, then it absolutely fails to work with JDE. We had to revert back to IE and remove FireFox from corporate use.
big parts of oracle's cororate applications seem to be certified by oracle to work with the firefox 24 esr release: https://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/firefox_24_certified_with_oracle
i have no idea if the JD Edwards one falls into this category though, and i also don't think it is mozilla's task to support third-party apps that hook into the browser (there are countless ones) but it's rather the other way round...
You guys are awesome and have been a big help, so I ill only make one comment before closing down my comments on this one. The last thing I want to do is start a flame post, not my intention.
While I agree in principle that is Oracles responsibility, I could also argue that FireFox puts out too many updates to quickly and then states that issues of this sort are on our end. Backwards compatibility is important. Updating the JDE system is not a trivial process, and will not be done for browser issues.
That is all, sorry for any diversion (hijacking) of thread topics.
