309413 - On any webpage, there is a wide bar at the bottom of the screen with the following text "%tabprefsDTD;" and I can't make it go away. The bar it is in is approximately one-fifth the width of the screen.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308742

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[shawn.putnam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

I installed Firefox and downloaded the noscript extension. When I restarted the
browser, it created a bar at the bottom of the screen about two inches tall with
the following text in it.

%tabprefsDTD;
^

Nothing I did, including uninstalling the extension or the entire browser would
remove the bar. In fact, when I uninstalled the entire program and reinstalled
it, all my extensions and bookmarks were still there. Seems like all fo that
would have been deleted if I uninstalled it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install program
2.Download and install noscript extension
3.restart browser

Actual Results:  
When I restarted the browser, it created a bar at the bottom of the screen about
two inches tall with the following text in it.

%tabprefsDTD;
^

Expected Results:  
The bar at the bottom should not be there.  It takes almost two inches off the
bottom of the screen, and I am unsure what the text means that it puts there. I
don't know if it is some kind of java related to the extension or not.

If needed, I can email a screen shot of the problem if provided an email address.
