Firefox '3 bar' menu not opening
I'm running Linux Mint KDE and have been having an issue with Firefox lately. When I attempt to open the the Firefox menu (the one on the right with 3 bars), clicking has no effect.
Pressing alt opens the more traditional file menus so I am able to access everything that way. However I would prefer if Firefox functioned as intended.
I searched the Firefox website for people having similar problems, but the answers on how to fix it have varied. I've tried the following but none of them have worked:
- Starting in safe-mode
- Refreshing Firefox
- Using the default theme (I already was)
- Disabling hardware acceleration
- Running Firefox from command-line and looking for errors (there were none)
- renaming
~/.mozillaand reopening firefox
apt purge firefoxand reinstalling
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
