249374 - Phantom Windows Over Browser and Desktop

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[David]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

This may sound nutty, but I've been living with this since I downloaded Firefox
weeks ago.  I'm seeing small rectangles of various sizes and shapes (always a
dark gray) appear over and around the browser window.  I can't determine whether
they're related to filtered ads, phantom popup windows or something else.  I've
disabled/re-enabled any/all plugins and went through every iteration of
everything else I can think of, but without success.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sit in my chair.
2. Load Firefox.
3. Visit Slashdot, NY Times, etc..  Hell, close all your tabs and try visiting
the Mozilla Bug Report page. 

Actual Results:  
More phantom windows.  Sometimes I think they want to really annoy me and
instead of appearing separately, they join together in little clumps. ;-)

Expected Results:  
Not display them?

If you think any of this is funny, ask me for a screenshot.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
