Hi, I've had this issue since I installed firefox on my current computer. The hover menu shows up on Youtube and some other video websites, but not on Twitter for example.

I followed what a forum post here said about dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled and HID touch interface, neither did anything for me (I don't even have a HID touch interface device on my list, not even hidden).

Need some help :P

You don't have a touch screen, pen tablet or similar input devices connected that don't have hover capability?

Go to about:config and create ui.primaryPointerCapabilities (Number) with value 6 (mouse).
