Title: FireFox...drop down windows don't work
Post by: jwfilion on June 24, 2009, 01:41:10 PM

In the upper left of the fireFox window are two drop down arrows next to the "Go back/forward one page" arrows. Mighty handy creatures. The main arrows still work, but about two weeks ago, the small drop down arrows stopped working. Have no idea why. Don't recall doing anything different. Any ideas of how to get these working again. Hate to have to hit the "page back" button a dozen times, when once will do. Any response appreciated.

Close Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?

Will try it out and get back to you.

I did as you suggested. I checked off each box, one at a time and it only works properly when the add-ons are disabled. I guess I'll have to go through them one at a time. The only one I've added lately was called "Save Images 0.5.1" I'm going to deal with it first. Thanks Broni.

This is exactly what you have to do.
