Help! What the hell did I do to Firefox, and how do I fix it?→[More:]

There's a weird scripty thing at the bottom of the screen. No vertical scroll bar. And there's no horizontal scroll bar, either, even though pages are extending off the side of the screen.

I've restarted Firefox and my computer, both. It showed up at startup this morning.

Hep me.

Have you tried disabling your add-ons? Did you try to start it in safe mode?

I tried disabling gmail manager, since it's not showing up. I'll try the others. No to safe mode. What do I do then?

Thanks, fbk -- I turned off the add-ons, enabled them one by one. Greasemonkey was the culprit.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Saturday. Here is a picture of a baby panda.

Mup, that is a good question. I wish I knew the answer.

The only time I've had problems, disabling the add-ons and/or starting in safe mode has fixed the issue for me.

Did you try restarting firefox after disabling gmail manager? (I'm assuming you did and that didn't help.)

Excellent. Glad my half-assed advice could help you.

Not a big fan of pandas. I do like Predator, though. And it's on now.

P&C, did you mean "Alien vs. Preditor"?

Wow, that's a tiny panda. Are they always that small, when they are young?
