In the last few days I've noticed that my navigation bar is changing height at random. It has increased in height (my Back arrow is now an oval) but it will blink back and forth to its correct height at will. I haven't added any extensions lately...using Windows 7, 32...FF4.0.1.

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

In Firefox 4 Safe mode disables extensions and disables 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.

Thanks for your reply, cor-el. I have found the problem after going through my addons. Abine did a 5/4 update and that has created the problem. Disabling this addon stopped the annoying jumping of my screen. I've posted to the Abine forum for assistance.
