Thanks for the quick response. I am not sure what made the "script-selection-not-possible" problem go away. But it is gone now, without any adjustment of the "hardware acceleration" settings, which on my system is still set to "use when available."
Also, the description of that bug<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679287>is that the menu item appears transparantly. That was not what I was seeing. The dropdown(s) would continually flash at high speed, but they were completely unselectable, for as long as you would keep the tab selected. Once I was able to clear all breakpoints and exit and restart several times, and progress my code, I have been able to make good progress using the latest release, with no further incidents. My code has evolved considerably now, so it could have been anything. The problem wasn't just that the "*script*" file tab selector dropdown was not selectable. When this occurred, also the "*Breakpoints*" tab had the same problem. This made it almost impossible to do anything except exit and start over. But for a while Firebug was stuck in that state or it recurred several times. When I attempted to drop down the selector triangle it flashed the choices, which were instantly overlayed by the content of the source code display frame or the content of the Breakpoint list. It was possible to drop down Console and DOM during this failure. If it happens again, I'll make a better effort to isolate it. But first I would need to take myself off the auto-update, otherwise isolating anything is impossible...
