Can not read menu bar: mini menu opens instead

When I select one of the menu options in the menu bar, another mini window pops up obstructing the list of menu options. However if you move the mouse slightly, it allows you to read the menu list. It's quite difficult to describe. It's easier to see a screen shot of it in action. It's infuriating as it makes it very difficult to select anything.

hello Pochepoke, maybe it's 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.

Hi philipp,

Thank you so much for your assistance ^_^b Unfortunately, there was no update for my graphics driver and so had to disable to graphic accelerator within Firefox.

Everything is all fixed and I can read the menu options again!

I wish I had asked earlier!

Many thanks again!

Cheers, Pochepoke
