Firefox menu

[EinSTeiN]

i have been using mozilla firefox for more than one month. I am now using version 0.9.1, Although i have no cmplains about the speed and security of firefox i have one problem with the menu.
i have noticed that some shadow like things come up in the menu of fire fox.
At startup there are only one or two of em, but after using it for more than one hour, the shadows get bigger and uglier. plz help me solve this prob

I have already tried reinstalling the software. i have also tried using new themes. New themes make the display much worse than the above so i am now using the default theme

^ yeah, cant make out what are you saying...

Could it be your ClearType settings? maybe you played with that, enabled/disabled cleartype, therefore its looking different.. ?

Look at the forward arrow and backward arrow and refresh close etc. Can you see shadow images of "File" "Edit" etc. Thats what i called shadows

they seem to be there before and after.... so there's no change after its opened. apart from that i have no idea how to solve this problem . try seraching on the net for something along the lines of firefox icon+background text. i'm not sure if it will help. cheers and good luck

Uninstall firefox. Remove everything under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. Delete the Program files\Mozilla Firefox folder. Now reinstall firefox.
If that still doesnt solve your problem, may be a video driver update could do the trick??

I have uninstalled as u said. And i have the latest grafics drivers. still the problem dosent go. An now Fire fox has started to get STUCK.
And i have to restart my system everytime it gets stuck. Maybe i'll discontinue using it and wait for a new stable version.

 

[NikhilVerma]

use Windows ME...
According to me ... It's more stable than XP

Dude ... Uninstall Firefox, delete all the folders mentioned above.. Clean ur registry [ use system mech and then regvac]

Then reinstall into a NEW folder[ new name, preferably new location]..

It should work.

yeah firefox is pretty slow for me too, because of my (lack of) RAM. but it usually comes back if i minimize and restore it about 5-10 times.
