Has somebody the same problem and maybe a solution? or should I just downgrade Firefox?

Forget to say that iam working with Selenium WebDriver.

Thanks for answering.

From August 2018, Selenium IDE Is Dead, Long Live Selenium IDE!

I'd recommend using Katalon Automation Recorder. I found it to be a great Selenium IDE alternative solution. As mention above, it's an addon work on both Chrome and FF Quantum.

I was able to import my existing Selenium IDE projects into Katalon Automation Recorder. Here the guide Katalon team provided.

Katalon is a very good choice. If you want more alternatives, as said in Top 3 Selenium IDE alternatives for Firefox & Chrome, look into those:

Katalon Recorder with Firefox addon or Chrome addon
Protractor, you can use protractor recorder npm package
Robot Framework (only supporting Chrome addon by now)

Selenium is having a compatibility issue with firefox version 55+

Issue for reference: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/4406.

What you can do right now is revert back your firefox to 54.0.1, for that you can

1st uninstall 55+ version and the maintenance service
download the 54.0.1 installer
while installing choose custom install and then disable maintenance service which auto updates the version to the latest.

https://www.katalon.com might be a good alternative. It's free, but not Open Source. But it is not compatible to Selenium, i.e. test cases created with Selenium IDE cannot run with Katalon.

I did help myself so far with Firefox Portable v54:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%2054.0.1/

It works parallel with other versions of FF.

To disable automatic update of this installation never go to Help->About screen. Rather do 2 things:
