selecting cells in Google Sheets is not working
Yesterday when working in Google Sheets, all of the sudden I was unable to select the cells I wanted with my bluetooth mouse OR with the track pad on my MacBook Pro. This is still happening after rebooting the computer and after updating OS software (this was happening before the update, so the update is not the cause). When I try to select one cell, it will not do it, but instead when I move my mouse (without the select button pressed anymore) it highlights all the cells my mouse runs over. I've checked in Chrome and I do not have this problem. Much of our business is based on using Google Sheets. I favor Firefox, but if I cannot select certain cells, then I may need to switch to Google Chrome. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, and yes the update could be the problem still but please try in : SAFE MODE
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
- all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
- default theme is used (no persona)
- userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
- default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
- Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
- hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
- plugins are not affected
- preferences are not affected
TEST''''is issue still there ?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Hi, Thanks for your suggestion, but the problem was happening before the update. And yes, it is still happening when I go into safe mode. Any other ideas? Thanks again for your help.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
