I have has this problem with version 1.0.3 and now 1.0.4
Sometimes when clicking links or just opening a new window (whether firfox was
already open or not), the windows spawns blank. No messages in the status bar.
The title bar on the other hand shows the title of the page you are "viewing."
The address bar appears blank and when you try to use the pulldown it is blank
and shifted to the left of the address bar. The google-yahoo-imdb,etc.. search
bar appears normal, but when you attempt to use the pulldown the menu drops, but
it is on the left side of the screen and down about 1/2 way. The updates button
that appears when updates are available also appears, out of place. It shows up
next to "Help" above the address bar. If you click it, it will attempt to search
for updates, but it won't find any even if some exist. You can hit Refresh and
Home and the title bar will update to the new page, but nothing else happens.

It does not happen in safe mode, but now i can duplicate the problem.
If I run safe mode, close the window, then run the regular mode it happens, I
then have to close the window and open it again 3 times before it goes back to
normal function.

It's an broklen extension if it doesn't happen in the safemode.
Safemode is just FF without extensions.

Use try&error to find the extension and notify the author of that extension
