My firefox screen extends just slightly below the windows status bar making it very difficult to scroll down or across since the scroll bars are hidden by my windows status bar along the bottom of my screen.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== After the next to last FF update.

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window. If that works then close Firefox to save that setting. See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window --- Window sizes and positions are stored in localstore.rdf in the Profile Folder. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)

Note: Deleting the file localstore.rdf will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults. You can rename localstore.rdf to localstore.rdf.sav to test if that solves it. Then you can restore the customization by copying localstore.rdf.sav to localstore.rdf if it didn't work.
