Why is the messages feature no longer working properly in FF?
I get a notification that there is a new message, but when trying to open the messaging feature it opens the frame at the bottom, but then disappears below the rim of the edge. And when I scroll down it briefly shows up, but then drops down again. Ultimately I have to open Messenger website proper, in order to do a basic message.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
