This happens primarily with www.linkedin.com. Sometimes the drop down menu works on the first mouse click; but often it does not, and I have to click repeatedly until it opens the menu. Very aggravating.

Hi dgerber4, Thank you for your question. It sounds like bootstrap is not responding to the click events on the page, or maybe there is an issue with the driver? If the mouse works on the same page in another browser, then the later may not be the case.

However, can you please check you Javascript settings for interactive web pages?

Also see if this also happens in Safe Mode and after you clear the cache. Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode and How to clear the Firefox cache
