Dialog boxes on web pages no longer work
Recently I have noticed that more and more web page dialog boxes are no long working. For example, one site I go to wants me to click on a drop down menu box to select the issue. Nothing happens when I click it. Another place, it wants me to enter what I want to know about my account. Nothing happens when I try to enter text.
This DOES NOT happen in Internet Explorer v11.0.31 or CHROME v51.0.2704.84 m. They work just fine.
As much as I like Firefox, I've been using it for years, if this cannot be corrected, my default browser will no longer be Firefox.
Thanks.
