Display issue with vertical windows start menu and dual screen
Hello everyone
I never reported it and I didn't find any information on google or mozilla support about this so here it is :
I am on windows 7 and I set up my windows start menu vertically. I also have 2 screens. These both points are important. If I put the start menu horizontally I do not have the issue anymore, and If I turn off one screen to have the display only on one screen, I do not have the issue anymore, which is a rare setup I guess so it could explain why this bug has never been detected.
HERE IS THE ISSUE I have display issues on website with a big width, even the default add-ons Manager firefox page doesn't display correctly. Here is a screen shot: http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/368172bugFirefoxDisplay.png
So as you can see the disable and remove button on the right are not displayed, and at the bottom there isn't any scroll bar to scroll ! So I have no way to display the information on the right of the page, and it happens on a lot of other website (gmail, etc) It is not such a big issue because my start menu is on my left screen and I can move firefox on the right screen to have a correct display. I still think this is worth reporting this bug. I hope it is clear, feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

thank you for your reply but this doesnt solve the issue !
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
Try to open the System menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize this window.
