Confirming on 0.9. I have also noted that this area is all green (no bubble with
the 'i' in it). This however I cannot reproduce or say what causes it.

FYI, that 0.9 has "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8" in the about box.

I have had a similar problem since the .9rc was released.  Everytime I launch a
Firefox browser windows I get a small popup in the bottom corner notifying me
there are updates available for my browser.  I click the little I balloon icon
and it takes me to the download page.  I download the windows install file form
the site and I still get the same message.  This has happened on .9rc, .9., and
now .9.1.

This only happens on a sony laptop I have.  The other computers I own work fine.

Using the following build on Win XP Pro SP1.

I'm getting the same behaviour since installing 0.9.1, except that clicking on
the "click here" popup in the corner of the screen does nothing. The icon in the
bottom right of the browser window always shows 1 and, when double-clicked,
tells me there's the update I just installed.

Uninstalling and re-installing does not appear to fix the problem.

furthermore, this area should simply be removed when no updates are avaible (and
thus disabled if you uncheck the "check for firefox&extensions on startup" from
advanced options

this would be something to fix before 1.0; on a 800x600 resolution, even this
small space is something I wish to have free on my status bar.
