Remnants of bookmark lists remain on screen; also Master Password issue

Question

Problem #1:
1. Display a long (vertically or horizontally) bookmark list from the Bookmarks menu, the Bookmarks button or the Bookmarks toolbar.
2. If the menu extends past the Firefox window and onto the desktop picture, when closing the menu the section of the list that extends onto the desktop picture remains on the desktop --- it doesn't disappear with the rest of the bookmark list.
This has only started happening since the last Firefox update.
My sys specs are below. This may be important: I am not using an Aero theme in WIN 7 SP1.
Problem #2
In previous revisions of Firefox when using the Master Password security function, the dialog requesting the password would appear the first time I visited a site where a login is required. And it would appear only once in a Firefox session. Something changed since Firefox 5 because now the Master Password dialog seems to also appear randomly during a Firefox session which is annoying.
But the main problem is that if I have a bookmarks list open when the Master Password dialog appears it sometimes causes Firefox to freeze completely. I've had to use Task Manager at times to quit Firefox because there's no other way to continue with the program once the freeze occurs.
Note: both of these issues were seen in Firefox 5. Firefox 6 is now released and the issues are still present.

Answer 1

It depends, I mean if iChat already works with no problems; then no I wouldn't worry about it. From my take on it, if you have to port to fix things then it's an ISP problem but that's do to being stuck behind a firewall. The ISP does this to prevent viruses and what not infecting there systems. All porting does is allow your apps to reach the "internet" with out the ISP's firewall hindering you. In the end if you have the time to port in my opinion it will only benefit you for the long run, incase your ISP decides there going to change there firewall up. I have to port because of my ISP's firewall blocks all sorts of traffic coming from my computer. So it does help in my case cause now iChat works flawlessly, WoW can now download updates in an hour or two versus a whole day. I can download stuff faster because some ports my ISP "chokes" and I have ported these apps to avoid the ports being choked or blocked. porting really isn't that difficult to do but it can get time consuming loading ports and addressing those ports to go to your main computer where those apps you want to use reside. Finally it should work with airport extreme or Express as I use both on top with my ISP's router so I have a dual router setup and I stream music to my Express and it all works flawlessly. I am here if you need more help and if you can chat on iChat and need assistance then I can try and help you through that, just let me know I am at [email protected]
but do check out www.portforward.com they have lots of guides and instruction on how networks work and why you should forward your ports.
