I have 2 monitors. I open a firefox window on the primary, I then try to "grab" the window and move it to the 2nd monitor. I can't "grab" the window. After multiple attempts I can finally "grab" the window and move it.

-> click Firefox button and click Options -> Advanced panel -> General tab -> Remove Checkmark from Use Hardware Acceleration when available

-> click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox

Check and tell if its working.

The only thing that worked was to start in safe mode. Disable add-on only did not work. I do not wish to delete bookmarks or reset tool bars.

I will work around the problem before is reset & delete...

The problem does not occur in Safe Mode
