I'm having a bunch of issues since installing v55.0.3
The first thing I noticed is when I'm trying to submit forms they will not submit. (On Amazon.ca for instance)(I tried with chrome and it worked fine so it's not the site) Later I went on YouTube and videos will not play. The loading animation just spins nonstop and the videos will not play at all. (I tried with chrome and IE and they worked fine so it's not the youtube site) I decided to try to clear my cookies and cache in case that was an issue but when I tried to do that and click on clear your recent history then select everything from the time range to clear the window comes up with the details of what I want to delete and I don't want to delete my browsing history or my form and search history or active logins just the cookies and cache but as soon as I select OR unselect any of the 8 items there the "Clear Now" button at the bottom of that window disappears. When I close the now useless window and reopen it the same process happens all over again. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I do not want to delete my browsing history or search history they're very useful to me. But FF WILL NOT WORK properly. Please 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.
You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:
In Firefox 54 and below:
- Click the menu button
and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
In Firefox 55 and above:
- Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the General panel.
- Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
