Any graphic or menu that exceeds the boundaries of the Firefox window may leave bits behind. Example:

Over at the right side, you can see that not only did the bookmark display not get cleaned up _outside_ the window, but it even made the window controls disappear.

Refreshing the display will clear the mess outside the window; minimizing and re-expanding the Firefox window will clear it inside. But it just keeps happening.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Firefox 4 Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Cor-El, thanks for the suggestion. It looks like the hardware acceleration is the culprit on my system--once I turned it off, the problem went away.

Now I get to search for updated drivers, to see if I can fix the problem properly... :)
