I tried safemode, and was still unable to detach tabs.
I also found something interesting, from the "about:preferences" page
when I first start the web browser I can select the drop down menus, eg,
default fonts, size etc, however once I attempt to detach a tab the
dropdown tabs no longer work.
I guess the next question is, could there be some sort of browser
interaction with Gnome that isn't working right?

Good point.
The only exception may be that the OP has a FF account and that it acts like having a
Chrome account
where your bookmarks and extensions are restored when you start with a clean system and
login.
