Autofill/drop down boxes, going blank on latest version
when typing in an address it begins to create an autofill box which flashes then goes blank.. just leaving the outline of the box. When I mouse over the box it fills or shows up for a couple seconds before disappearing again. There is a similar problem when I click on the "firefox" tab to access tools, edit, history, etc. It form a drop down box which disappears close to immediately after forming. The difference with this vs. the autofill is that when I mouse over this box it stays and does not disappear after a few seconds.

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 > Appearance/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"

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
- Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
- Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
worked like a charm! thnx!
You're welcome

Problem appears related to multiple monitors. Problem does not exist on 1st and 3rd monitors.
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
