User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

it occures often by using multiple separation pages that after some time the task list don't appear anymore by rightclicking -exactly commited it just appear partially... I can see the whole outlines and some separators, but the text of the task are not visible any more. That make the navigation further possible.. but quite more difficult !
Espacially I think for newbies!

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open many separation pages and surf on different sites. Click right on a link, in order to get the task list (for example in order to open the link target in another separation page). The task list box doesn't appear 
2.by moving the cursors of the mouse on the emplacement where the tasklist is supposed to appear, you can then see its outline, but not the text... 
3.by clicking on the emplacement of the location where the wished task is supposed to be you get the functionality.. and its text appear after you clicked.

Hi, Matti,

firstable I am sorry, I must admit that I don't know what is the Firefox safemode. Please be so kind to tell me more about it or to provide me with some links related to it, so that I can build my opinion.

Second, I am a little bit scarred, that my (submersible) english may not be good enough for this. If you notice some communication difficulties due my languages skills, then be so kind to switch in german, I am really (Management- und IKT-)fluent.. it may be helpfull.

Thank you for your help

OK, I know what you mean, I get some links about it. Thank you for the sending. I didn't use this extensions till the days but I will try.

However i am not so sure it is so relevant beacause of followings reasons:
1. I have totally only 12 installed extensions of Firefox, of which only 7 or 8 add something in the content menu (right cliking)
2. the most times I rightclick is in order to execute "open in a new separation page", which comes at the very beginning (2nd ranking psoition) of the content menu (right click). 
3. as far as I can remember I had the problem at the evry beginning too, as I didn't have so many installed extensions.

I underlines the two only items I noticed: it occures often by having a lot of opened separations pages, and as the servers seem to be busy§ May be it doesn't have to do with lower broadband, beacause I noticed it was possible to use fluently other internet apps as Firefox was hanging in the waiting for its downloads.
And it may not have to do with the systems himselfs (as far as I understand...) because it is always possible to work with others apps..!
