Display Problems with Firefox browser

satone · 03-01-2006, 08:28 PM

I have installed Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 over an older version and now I am having display problems. I have attatched mydisplay.jpeg file so you can see my problem.

The grey area at the bottom? I've had this problem with previous versions of Firefox. I think it's more to do with themes rather than the upgrade. Maximize the window and press F11 to go into fullscreen, then F11 again to revert to normal view and it should correct itself. It usually happens for me when I start Firefox in fullscreen mode with more than one tab open.

Check to see if your themes are compatible with 1.5.0.1

I checked for updates for my add-ons and everything is ok and I tried full screen and back the problem is still there.

Any other solutions?

Thanks

Try another theme, they're not all fully 1.5.0.1-compatible. Also, change the properties of your Firefox shortcut to start maximized. Sorry, that's all I can think of. It's not a fix, but it's a workaround that's worked for me in the past.

Ok I fixed the display problem. I reinstalled mozilla broswer into another new directory it fixed the issue.

Thanks anyhow.
