Problem with Firefox
 

Since closing and restarting my PC today I have discovered a weird thing when I opened up Firefox. I have a blank chunk across the bottom with a little ^ in it. This is making my web pages shorter than usual. Anybody know how it has occurred and how I can get rid of it? I have tried closing off Firefox and re-opening it but that makes no difference. It's still there. See image

Ignore the purple. That's just part of my own customisation which I have had for ages.

Save your profile folder, even saves your passwords and log in details

Don't hold me to this, but I'm 99% sure that Firefox 'remembers' your bookmarks upon upgrading.

Besides all I did was reinstall Firefox and it sorted itself out.

Firefox won't even flippin well open this morning. I am currently using Opera. I much prefer Ff though and will have a do at getting it back later on today. Several other things to sort out first. Emzy will have an idea what a few of them are!!:D

the "chunk " at the bottom of the screen looks like you toolbar has been extended- if you run your mouse over the top edge you should see a double ended arrow once you see that click and pull down the edge of your toolbar to a normal size
hope it helps x

Tried that Keetah but it won't. I think that the ^ is something to do with why not. It looks like some sort of bit of coding stuck in there. Not that I can even get on Firefox at all at the moment to do anything though! :mad: (that emoticon is directed at Ff not you)

Re: Problem with Firefox
 

looks like a config file is corrupt and that is causing teh issue, have you tried renaming/moving your firefox profile out of its default location and then starting it up? this should force it to create a new blank profile, then you can copy teh fav's etc back in.

Re millions of bookmarks, its worth doing an export to an HTML page and storing that file on a webspace somewhere. that way you are secure against PC breakdown etc.

Well I finally managed to get Ff to speak to me and upgrade to the latest one which means I have lost my fancy squiggles and wiggles as they are no longer compatible but at least I've also lost that blessed ^ and the huge gap at the bottom!

Hmmm :D I ought to tidy up a lot of things. I know I should. You should see the state of my desktop for a start off! I keep meaning to get around to it and probably will do eventually. Saving some stuff I don't want to risk losing would be a good starting point. Anyway so far so good. I have my favourites and I have a working browser without a bit gap in its bottom.

Now to do a bit of sewing. :D
