Huh. I've yet to have issues with Firefox on either Wheezy or
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Perhaps one or more of your plugins have gang aft

Try turning off all your plugins and trying again.
ATM there aren't any pluggins, and all the javascript stuff is
enabled, but there is no response to clicking on half the buttons
shown.
If it works then
bring up your plugins one at a time and see which one breaks the
browser.

Been down that road clear outta sight, Mark, no help.
Very odd behavior. Have you tried bringing it up in the safe mode?
Try renaming the .mozilla directory in your home dir to mozilla
without the dot, then bring Firefox back up again and give it a try.
Might be something corrupted there. Which version of Firefox are you
using?
52.8.0, 32 bit, I scanned thru the .mozilla subdir with an ls -lcR|less,
that took about 2 hours. Amazed at how old it was w/o the c option most
of it dated from 2004! Didn't find any corruption, everything read ok.
What surprised me was that ssh'd into the rock64, running an armbian
arm64 stretch install, chrome simply worked. But giggle doesn't make a
chrome for i386. I don't really like their T.O.S. anyway, too darned
invasive. But I'd use it if it worked.
Why armbian? Its the only armxx installer that lets ME be first user! And
changing that seems to be impossible on any other armxx install. Asking
questions about it on the list I get treated like I want to pown
somebody else's machine. Dammit, its my machine!!! Why the hell can't I
be first user 1000????? Boggles whats left of my mind.

So I have not found anything yet. I did go into prefs and checked the
block popups but didn't see any effect from that. The same "hover for
circular" that I have to keep the mouse off of, still causes a crash
advisory.
I've a 2T drive sitting in the quick change bay, waiting for LinuxCNC to
release a 64 bit stretch install, but its not happened yet. I think I
have stretch figured out so I should be able to beat it into submission
to a host file based environment. On this machine, I could just run the
sims altho that needs editing to enable simulating such things as a TLO
probe hit. Also the envelope outline is unrealistically small and
refuses to go beyond it.
Thanks Mark.
I'm on a diet again, just found I'm up to 163, no wonder my back is
giving me hell again. But I'd better go see what my missus wants for
brunch, its too late to call in breakfast now.
Did you try renaming the .mozilla directory to just mozilla and starting
Firefox again, allowing it to create a new profile directory? Sometimes
bad or old data in the profile files from previous older installations
can cause problems with newer Firefox versions. Had that happen a number
of times in the past. Firefox changed a whole bunch of internal stuff I
think starting in V50 or so, and it's possible some legacy data in the
profile directory, while probably not corrupted, may be playing hell
with a newer version.
