Firefox 4.0 Navigation Bar icons become stretched (vertically) when adding a bookmark. The problem appears to do with the WOT (Web of Trust) or Adblock Plus add-on and when their respective icons are present on the Navigation Bar.

Selecting the bookmark function, either from the menu or the favourites star icon, results in the bookmarks pop-up appearing just under the yellow favourites star, it's at this point the stretching occurs.

If I remove the icons of the two add-ons mentioned above, using the "customise" function, the Navigation Bar and any remaining icons revert back to their normal aspect ratio. If I in turn add the offending icons back on, again using the "customise" function, the bar stretches again, note that I have not exited Firefox at any point.

The only other way to reset the size of the icons, without removing any icons, is to restart Firefox.

This is a repeatable problem, if I have the offending icons on the Navigation Bar and I use the bookmark's function, the icons will become stretched.

I do have other add-ons, but they do not cause any problem with the aspect ratio of the Navigation Bar.

I have also noticed that when a pop-up appears for when Firefox is asking about saving passwords, similar to the bookmarks pop-up, that this does not cause any problems with stretched icons, even with the at issue add-on icons present.

So is this a problem with Firefox 4.0 or something to do with the icons provided by the add-ons developer?

Are you using the default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) ?

Yes, I'm using the default theme.

I've only installed some add-ons. Everything else is as it is upon initial installation of FF4.0.

Apart from the "Status-4-Evar" add-on, I'm using the same set of add-ons as I had in Firefox 3.6, again just the default theme, and had no issues with stretched icons.

I've tried turning "hardware acceleration" on and off, but it makes no difference, the stretching will occur either way.
