Firefox download, library and menu buttons not working sice last update
I'm running Firefox 61 on up-to-date Kubuntu system. After the recent update, the buttons in upper right corner - for Download, Library and Menu are not working properly. After clicking them, nothing happens. Surprisingly, if I afterwards click below them, the actions (for example opening the downloaded item) happens. So the window is there, but invisible.
The bookmark button works fine.

Do not try the generic try a Refresh suggestion as that is not going to help with this.

A number of people using Firefox on KDE desktop on Ubuntu and Mint for example has had this issue.

This is how it looks like, even after clicking any of the mentioned buttons.
Hi, where are you getting your install from as that maybe the problem when they put it together wrong. Can try and use one from here :
Or try doing a Refresh : Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st:
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
then
TEST.......

Thank you. Changing to xrender works for me.
However, this is a workaround - I recommend still treating it as a bug which needs to be solved for everyone.
