My menu button dropdown is blank
Firefox has had some glitches for me lately like menu drop down is blank, engine switching to Yahoo, suddenly images telescope in and out on the page. Since the drop down menu is blank I cannot utilize the tips on these Firefox help pages.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
