Drop down menus in Firefox 4 disappear

Running Windows 7 64-bit and drop down menus in Firefox 4.0 disappear. Fix this by disable hardware acceleration in Firefix.

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Browsing:
Disable “Use hardware acceleration when available”

    How do you access “Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General ->” If the dropdown menu is unaccessible?

    Does not work for me on Kubuntu 12.04.2. My hardware accelaration was already turned off before, but the problem still occurs.

    And weirdly, I haven’t encountered this on Windows 7, but only on Linux (KDE, E17, Gnome).

  9. K says:

    Not work for me on Gnome2 and 3.
    I turned off already but that problem still occurs.

    Hey, Could anyone please help me how to increase the width of dropdown menu list for firefox browser only (do not want to increase the main control width like). Because default dropdown menu width of firefox browser is smaller than chrome browser.
