Bottom Part of Firefox window is showing while window is maximized.

For some reason, whenever Firefox is maximized, part of the browser window is showing down at the bottom of the screen. I don't know why it is doing that. I tried disabling classic theme restorer and it didn't go away, I tried updating to the latest version of Firefox and it still didn't go away. I am using a laptop with a touch screen built in and I notice that whenever I scroll up along a page using the touch screen, it starts glitching where the window will repeatedly try to jolt downward and come up. I think that has something to do with why the bottom part keeps showing. Other than that, there isn't any other problem with it.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

OK since midday today firefox 3.6.24 apparently no longer executes javascript on ebay. Can't use the "add to watch list" buttons or the enlarge photo buttons. It says 'javascript at the bottom of the firefox window but nothing happens.

just as I wrote above.. ebay loads and functions. I can bid and view auctions but trying to either use the "add to watch list" or "add to wish list" buttons or to switch between different posted photos of an item just gives me javascript:; at the bottom left of my screen but clicking the button has no effect.I'm still running 10.4.11 with the last java download.. is this an ebay change to a newer java version not supported by my os or is it a firefox error..oh and one more thing each page seems to have become 4 times longer..ie there is a huge empty space as I scroll down the page before I hit the bottom.Only appears to do this on ebay..haven't found any other sites showing similar errors and everything works fine on my imac running firefox 4 under 10.5

but I can't install windows! During the install I am asked for the product key and it tells me that it is not valid and so I can't proceed.

I can't use the usual methods of activation because I cannot get an activation code. I can't use the activation wizard. I can't call the number because it requires an activation code.
Hi,
I'm a bit confused with this paragraph, as you said Vista already install on your computer, why did you say Windows can't be installed?
According to your description with your problem, it is Product edition and key are not match. Firstly of all, we must make sure the system you installed on your computer was
Windows Vista Business, not matter 32 or 64 bit.
Note: you can check current system edtion at System Properties.
After that, you can try to input your product key and activate your system for test.
If problem still presists, it would be better to provide the activation error message.

When maximized, I cannot see the bottom part of the window, for example, i can't see the "down arrow" on scroll bar on the right side. Is there a way to fix it?

This also means that i can't really see the website address when i hover over a hyperlink.

It is probably broken. You can try restoring it using Recovery Mode, but if that fails its time for a new phone. After all, it is 4 generations out of date. See: Recovery Mode

When in fullscreen mode, bottom of Firefox window ends where Windows Taskbar would be, were it not in autohide mode.

Firefox version: 4
Windows Version: XP-SP3 (automatic updates)
My Windows Taskbar is in autohide mode.
When I launch Firefox in windowed mode and maximize the window, it takes up the entire screen.
When I move my mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen, the Windows Taskbar pops up.
When I select Fullscreen mode in Firefox, the top of the window behaves as it should: Menus disappear, and the toolbar area autohides, reappearing when I move my mouse pointer to the top of the screen.
The bottom of the Firefox window, however, jumps up to where it would be if the Windows Taskbar were not in autohide mode, leaving a black space. While I can move my cursor over this black space, when I reach the bottom of the screen, the Windows taskbar will not unhide, forcing me to use the Windows button if I want to execute some other command.
If I minimize the Firefox window, then select it from the taskbar, it returns to fullsceen mode and takes up the entire screen (no more black space), but I still cannot get the Windows Taskbar to pop up by moving my cursor to the bottom of the screen.
While it may seem nit-picky, this is a dealbraker for me. I set Firefox to run in Fullscreen mode, and expect it to do so properly, without having to go through all of these steps. Furthermore, since I use Windows Start button for everything (my desktop has nothing on it but the Recycle Bin), I often use it while browsing (launching other applications, using the Control Panel, or looking through filesystem, among others).
I am extremely pleased with all other aspects of the browser, right down to the toolbar area not disappearing when my mouse pointer happens to slide off of it after I place my cursor in the search box, and while I would be sad to lose all of these improvements, I will return to Version 3 if I must.
Thank you very much for your time.

I'm sorry, it seems I spoke too soon. The original problem is back: Black stripe at the bottom of the screen. :-(

Strange – Bottom Part of Windows are Unclickable?

Hey guys, I signed up on this forum just to ask this question. I have been a Mac user since System 6, and have obviously had my fair share of problems, but 99% of the time I find a solution. Until this one...
After updating to Leopard a few days after it came out, I noticed that when I tried grabbing the window resizer on the bottom right of the Photoshop document I was working on I couldn't click it. I could't click the bottom window bezel area either.
Nor could I do it in the finder. It's as if theres a "deadspace" on the screen where I can't click anything dealing with the bottom part of a window, be it in ANY application.
If you were to split my screen down the middle and take the bottom 1/3rd of the left half you would have my "inactive" area. All other user interaction in this area works fine.
This seems petty, but try going a day without clicking that part of a window.
I'd love to not have to do a complete reinstall for something so small, but it's looking like my only option.
I hoped a .1 or .2 would have fixed it but it has not.
Any ideas?

Anyone? Anyone?... This issue is killing me.

"tabs on top" doesn't look same wether window is maximized or not

I have the option "tabs on top" selected. But when firefox window is maximized tabs appear sweetly just right of firefox orange button (this is just fine). But when window is normal sized tabs fall under this latter button, leaving an ugly gap.
Where is the option to make the tabs fill always this gap when "tabs on top" is selected?
I'm using firefox on windows 7 os, with unmodified theme. I would like to post images as well but I can't see the link.

That is intended, you can change this behavior by adding a userstyle with the Stylish add-on.
# First install the Stylish add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish
# Go to http://userstyles.org/styles/42417 and click on "Install with Stylish"
# Restart Firefox and you should then have a tabs in the titlebar on restored windows.

The bottom part of my firefox is being covered by my default Windows menu bar.

When it shows (i.e Done above the windows default menu bar) its being covered by the windows default menu bar.

Is the Firefox window too large or off to the bottom of the screen? Try resizing or repositioning the Firefox window. See [[Toolbar keeps resetting]] to restore the default window size/position and toolbar settings if you can't change the Firefox window or position, or if the changes to your Firefox window aren't saved when you next start Firefox.
If you need more help you should ask a new question in the support forum since this question was solved over a year ago and many Firefox support helpers don't look at solved questions. You can use this link as a starting point to ask a new question: https://support.mozilla.com/questions/new

Why suddenly does my Firefox window only use the top 3/4 of the page with a blank dark box and a blank light box in the bottom 1/4 of the page?boxk

I'm using Firefox 30.0 on a desktop PC with Windows XP. When I opened Firefox tonight, a box popped up for about 3 seconds which appeared to say "installing update". Then, when the Firefox window opened, the "normal" page only took up the top 3/4 of the window, with the bottom 1/4 of the window taken up by a blank dark gray square box on the left side and a blank light beige rectangle box on the right side. As I open new tabs, go to various web sites, etc., the boxes remain in the bottom 1/4 of the window, and there's a scroll bar on the right side of the window so can scroll to the parts of the page that are "under" the boxes. I'll send screen prints of this if there's someplace to send them.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar.

When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar. Can't get it to maximize. Please help.

The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

Os 10.7 firefox window shows menu bars only on new login

when I login on our multiuser computer, firefox which was previously open in a full window, is now at the bottom of the screen with only the toolbars showing. You have to drag the actual firefox window open.

Since the 4.0.1 update the first Firefox window I open refuses to open tabs, only new windows, and all refuse to show my bookmarks toolbar. All Sync settings and account seem lost.

I am trying to click on a 'zoom' button to enlarge a table or photo but nothing happens other than "javascript:void(null)" appearing in bottom left corner of Firefox window. How can I correct this?

There are a few tables and photos on the left that I need to zoom into but nothing happens. All I get is the text "javascript:void(null)" in the bottom left corner of my Firefox window.

Dreamweaver design view doesn't show the bottom part of a long div

Hi!
I'm doing a very graphics oriented site, which basically requires me to use a large jpg as a background image and placing text areas against this background using absolute positioning.
My problem is that Dreamweaver doesn't show me the bottom part of my content div's background, but renders it as black instead. This obviously makes placing the text areas correctly difficult, since I can't see them against the background.
If I turn on Live view, then Dreamweaver shows the bottom part correctly. But in live view I can't use rulers and guides (or can I?).
Is there any setting that I can change so that Dreamweaver is showing me the whole div bg in all situations? One possible cause of this problem might be also that I'm using overflow:scroll on my content. Could that be why Dreamweaver hides the bottom part and can I change that behaviour?
Any ideas are welcome!

If we can see the page in question we could probably do this a lot easier. But all you need to do in your CSS for the background is:
background: url(pathto/image.jpg) fixed no-repeat;
If you are trying to absolutely position something in the middle you will be unable to do this without the assistance of javascript to determine the useable pixels on the end-users computer. Horiztonally is not the issue, but rather vertically because you can achieve horizontal centering by defining a width and setting the margin: 0 auto; in your CSS.
As far as working with overflows, if there is too much content in them that you believe the overflow will be necessary (assuming min/max-widths are set) you could consider including the content from another document or store it in a database and query the information out. Then it would make it easier for the client to update the content on their own in the future.

In Firefox window below toolbar, I am unable to click on links in the upper part of the window, ie the cursor does not change into the hand icon and the link is not highlighted.

The toolbar and the lower part of the window works normally, as does the whole window in Internet Explorer.
I have reinstalled Firefox with no improvement.

Many thanks SafeBrowser; I think the Yahoo and Babylon extensions were the problem. Didn't want them anyway!

When Firefox starts options, 'show my windows and tabs' is greyed out??

Tools, options, general - when firefox starts
I wish to pick ' show my windows and tabs from last time' but this is greyed out??

It sounds like you may have some other settings changed that prevent Firefox from restoring your tabs and windows. Here's what to check:
#At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options
#Select the Privacy panel and make sure Firefox will: is set to either Remember history or Use custom settings for history.
#*If Firefox will: is set to Use custom settings for history then make sure that Permanent Private Browsing mode is not selected.
#*If Firefox will: is set to Use custom settings for history and Clear history when Firefox closes is selected, then click the Settings button and make sure that Browsing History is not selected.
#Click OK to close the Options window
