Try changing the setting at Edit > Preferences > Advanced > HTTP

on, but I've found that several parts of Google (and a few other
sites) only work properly with it off. Either way, try changing it
from whatever it is at the moment and reload the Google page.
If you have the Lightning extension installed, also ensure that
"Advertise Lightning installation" is off; that seems to interfere
with some sites' browser detection.
This is very intriguing - never noticed the problem before. I checked,
and I get it, too.
I have a number of browsers installed for testing and comparison
purposes. I tested Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi, and Pale Moon, and the
problem does not occur there - the required drop-downs open as they should.
The problem therefore seems to be SM-specific. I tried turning off
Advertise Firefox Compatibility as you suggest. The result was that the
the Tools button and its three drop-downs disappears completely, and the
full contents of the later are listed down the left side of the top of
the citations resulting from a search. All very strange.
