My Browser Is Having Issues

My notifications at the top of the screen seem to have a mind of their own. When I hover my cursor on the icons the list appears, but whenever I move my cursor down to click on one of them the entire list disappears. So requests to make contact have to be completed on my end by my visiting their profile because their link disappears when my cursor is moved off of the icon. Any suggestions on how else to overcome this? At the moment the only thing I've been able to figure out is to click their name on one of their comments...however I have one now that has not made any comments so I have to try to post his name myself using the @ key to attempt to get to his profile....uuugggghhh.
