When I click on the word "File" on the menu bar, no drop down menu appears. In fact, nothing happens when I click on any of the menu options. I can print only by using the keyboard shortcut. I can't even tell you what version of Firefox I'm using, since I can't access the "Firefox" or "Help" menus.

-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the Option key while starting your Mozilla Firefox application. (If the Profile Manager opens, select a profile and then hold down the Option key again while clicking the button to start Firefox.)

  • As an alternate method, go to Utilities (in the Applications folder) and open Terminal, then run:
    • /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode

-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode

Check and tell if its working while using Firefox Safe Mode.
