Why are the menu buttons not working in Mozilla firefox?












1















So whenever I try to click a button in the menu option in firefox with my mouse it won't respond. I tried to reinstall firefox but it didn't help. The menu button is located on the top right side of firefox.

          Go to this website
          https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings



          and select the button saying refresh firefox:






          1. Click this Refresh Firefox button directly, if you are viewing this
            page in Firefox. This won't work if you are using a different browser
            or on a mobile device
            .




            • You can also find a Refresh Firefox button at
              the top of the Firefox about:support Troubleshooting Information page.



          2. To continue, click Refresh Firefox in the confirmation window that
            opens.

          3. Firefox will close to refresh itself. When finished, a window
            will list your imported information. Click Finish and Firefox will
            open.

            In my case, refreshing Firefox didn't work. What worked for me was to turn KWin compositing on (which I didn't know I had deactivated). That can be achieved by pressing Shift+Alt+F12
