Hello there,
I suggest trying the "Refresh Firefox" feature which usually fixes most problems. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings
The "Refresh" feature works by creating a new profile folder for you while saving your most important data.
If the above won't work then you can go ahead and reinstall Firefox.
Give those steps a try and see if the issue still persists!
Hope this helps!
