Have they fixed the problems with Firefox on Cinnamon? I ran it for quite a while, and was thoroughly frustrated by dropdowns showing up in the wrong place on Firefox (this on 16.04). Moving over to XFCE was an effective workaround, but other than the Firefox problem, I preferred Cinnamon.

I've been running Mint Cinnamon as my primary OS for a few years on both a Dell Latitude E74xx and a homebuilt mini-ITX box with no such issues. The laptop is integrated gfx and the desktop is a 1050gtx at 4k. FF is my main browser and I have not seen any such behavior.

Hmmmm... I've had the problem on a 960/Ryzen 7 and an old 9600/FX-6100 rig, and also on a ThinkPad X201 Tablet with integrated Intel graphics. However, I installed Cinnamon from the Ubuntu 16.04 repos, so maybe they had a bad version there.
