When I right click on the space there is a drop-down menu appearing which is normal. But it is keep hanging there and won't disappear when I left click. This happened at the address bar as well and it is kinda annoying.

I've never experience this before. Please help, thank you.

Does the issue occur in Firefox only or in other applications as well? Does the issue occur when starting Firefox in Safe mode? (Hold down Shift when starting Firefox)

As the screenshot indicates your system is rather fresh, there is a workaround to prevent this in Windows 7 in case you experience it in other applications as well:

  1. Right-click "My Computer" and click "Properties"
  2. Click "Advanced System Ssettings"
  3. Under "Perfomance", click "Settings"
  4. Uncheck "Fade out menu items after clicking"

Does that make any difference?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
