Problems with several web pages to save files or attach files
In the past I could open a bug report, but somehow I am redirected to help :-) Anyway.
Since the upgrade to version 77.01 I cannot attach files anymore to mails in outlook (business mail). When clicking on "search my computer", nothing happens.
And on some web pages, when trying to download, nothing happens (example: pcloud.com). Have not tried upload yet on pcloud.
I run Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04, installation is via snap, if this makes a difference to the normal installation (some directories are not accessible from the snap, default access: directory of container, but can be tweaked).
Not clear if this is a Firefox problem or some incompatibility with scripts.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Cache clears after I quit Firefox. I deleted what I found in the "current" folder. Works now without problems. But your tips helped, thank you very much.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
