302025 - Preferences dialog box looks weird when opened for the first time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 284713

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

When the preferences dialog box is opened for the first time after installation,
it opens in "Pivacy tab" and the box is displayed improperly. Image is attached. 

It is easily rectified by dragging and making the box a little bigger, 

But reducing the box size spoils it again.

The attached image is how it looks when the box is opened for the first time
after installation. This should be a common problem, because I installed Deer
Alpha2 on two CentOS m/cs and one Mandriva m/c and found the problem occuring in
all the three.  

Dont know wether the problem is cross-platform though

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a fresh installation of Deer Park Alpha 2
2. Open the Preferences dialog box, it should open in Privacy tab by default (I
think so)
3. The dialog box should look like the attached image

I know you haven't attached the image yet, but I have a feeling this is going to
be a dupe of bug 284713. If so go ahead and dupe it.
