Hi,

for information, it is not a nvda problem at all, it only affects 64-bits firefox releases with some specific registry settings, that can alas be modified by unrelated programs like acrobat reader installer. People working on this problem on the firefox side have made great progress in understanding what happens, and seem to plan a release correcting it whenever possible.

It's a known issue with Firefox - but oddly only for some users.
A workaround from Mozilla is to try the following:
1. Start Firefox.
2. Enter the address about:config in the address bar.
3. Accept the warning.
4. In the search box, enter the word skeleton
5. In the table below, browser.startup.preXulSkeletonUI should appear and it will have a value of true. Press the Toggle button to set it to false.
6. Restart Firefox.
