Forward message box comes up very small, can't ajust the size, any fix?

FF just updated and now, when I try to forward an email from my company's email system, the 'forward email box' comes up as a narrow strip that won't allow a full-screen view and the box can't be dragged out to make it bigger. The box goes back to a narrow box by itself. It's never happened before, any ideas?

Perhaps this is a new problem in Firefox 28 Beta, if you did not encounter this in Firefox 27 Beta, but just in case, have you tried the usual things:

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache

Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.

Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"

If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
