Is it ONLY with the one site?

Try clearing your Cache and restarting Firefox.

Yeah, let's have a look at that puppy.

Better yet, copy the address from your Address bar and post it.

Ok, but it is in your bookmarks (or should be) under Firefox and Mozilla links

But it was messing up a lot worse earlier today, and as you can see it runs off the page, but look at it in IE to see what I mean about messing up

Ok, they look normal in my Firefox and I also typed in the address in my IE and the page loaded normally, no scroll bar on the bottom of either.

So, let's eliminate these as suspect:

Check this...
Tools → Options → Web Features → Enable JavaScript / Advanced → Move or resize existing Windows...make sure they are checked.

Also, try holding Ctrl down and rotate center wheel on mouse to change font size.

Something to peruse...

Let us know how it goes GoJo.

I'll be interested to hear if your 1.0.5 was removed from Add/Remove, unlike your previous experience...


Hope all goes smoothly!

I installed 1.0.6 over 1.0.5 and all seems fine. Add/Remove Programs is correct showing only 1.0.6. I waited until Firefox notified me with the update just to insure that the update feature was working correctly.

Alright!

That's great news and should be encouraging to others pondering the big
question of whether to install over or not.

I haven't received my update through my FF as yet and I'm curious to see how
much longer it will take. When I get it I'll do what you did and install over.

Thanks for the update GoJo! Happy browsing.

lol..I guess I was waiting for "Room Service" (slaps forehead with heel of hand).

Just as you say neon, I checked in the Tools>Options>Advanced>Software Update...
lo and behold, there it was.

I'm off to update my FireFox.

Thanks for that.

Done!!

Wow! that was the easiest update yet.

My ZoneAlarm correctly asked me for permissions for the new version.

Add/Remove only shows v1.0.6.

I'll be looking for any hitches with my Extensions as time goes
on, but so far....NO PROBLEMA!!

Good deal, hopefully future Firefox updates will go as smoothly as this one ...
