Coming out of a web page, Firefox was left with a partial window (on the left). I can read the full window only by scrolling to the right. I cannot restore the full window. I have tried quitting the application and restarting it (to no avail). I write this on my wife's computer where there is normal function. My computer is the last of the iMacs with a PowerPC processor.

Your help will be appreciated (for sure)!

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

Please update to the current Firefox 26 release.

The Firefox 3,6,16 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
