This has been a problem for some time. Running Mageia 8.
Every time I get a kernel update, Firefox functionality is lost: right
click doesn't work (I have to use the centre mouse button to open links
in a separate tab), menu buttons don't respond, nor does the three-line settings button. These problems magically go away after using it for a
couple of days.

What happens when you boot with the previous kernel
What happens when you boot with the previous kernelI could try that, but this has happened for many months over a number of kernels. And as I said, the problem resolves itself each time after a
few days running the new kernel.

Well are you updating Firefox on a regular basis? I have Kernel
5.18.16 and Firefox 103.0.1 and do not notice that sort of problem.

I am impressed with your kernel release. Prinstion came up a day or so
ago and I thought I had to install the latest kernel.
$ uname -r
5.15.58-desktop-2.mga8
I have firefox-103.0.1.tar.bz2 installed/running and have not seen the problem.
Sounds like a junk test account should be created to verify if the problem
is a user or system level problem.

I just try whatever Bill Reynold packages and he is good at his work.
I am a simple minded user.

So you roll your own Firefox? You should not have any problems keeping
it running on an even keel.

A good idea for everyone along with frequent backups.

Not rolling my own, Just downloading/installing latest release from the vendor site.
Same for Thunderbird into /local/opt so I do not overwrite Distribution install;
and put a link to it in /usr/local/bin.

need them. As I misunderstand it, the main difference is in the area of
new hardware support.
TMB, our kernel maintainer, is pretty good at keeping up with added
security updates in the 5.15.series. I'm sure that he would advance
Mageia 8 in general to the 5.18 series if he thought there was a
pressing need for it. He already did that when he switched us from the
5.10 series to the 5.15 series.

What extra do you get with the latest and greatest

I'll look into getting a non-Mageia source.
