Just upgraded to FF14 portable. Now I have a grey bar across the bottom of my page every time I start up. It has what looks like tabs, and a red arrow that says "click to close" When I close it, the red arrow stays for awhile, then it disappears. The only new add-ons I have are Bookmark Favicon Changer, Check4Change, and Multiple Tab Handler, none of which caused problems in FF13

How about a screenshot of what you are referring to? You have a bunch of add-ons that I have never used, and I don't recognize what you are describing.

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
