Drop down lists are no longer functional for pages that utilize jqGrid since upgrading to Firefox 40.0
We have many pages that use jqGrid to display data. After upgrading to Firefox 40.0 all select lists on the page will not allow you to choose an option on pages that also use jqGrid. These pages work fine in all other browsers and previous versions of Firefox. No JavaScript errors are thrown.

Could you provide a link to a page that exhibits this problem? I started poking around http://www.trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html but wasn't sure whether anything there matches your scenario.
There is a known issue in Firefox 40 with select controls related to a different jQuery plugin, so it could be this:
Regression:<option>cannot be selected in certain circumstancesThe
<option>element cannot be selected and the parent<select>element won't be closed, whenEvent.preventDefaultis called in amouseupevent handler on<select>or its ancestors. The iButton jQuery plug-in is known to be affected. Mozilla developers have identified the cause and are working on a solution.

The examples we have are all for internal applications that are behind authentication. We could probably put together a sample and post it somewhere public. The problem we are having sound exactly like what you describe though. The option element is not selected and the parent does not close for any select list on a page that also contains a jqGrid.
If there's no update available for that plugin, I would check with the authors on whether they know of this issue and have a temporary workaround.
Hmm, it's more confusing than I thought, since they changed the branding and licensing last December. Do you have the newer "Guriddo" version?
