Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 314768

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Ian Weller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060918 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060918 Firefox/2.0

One of my friends recently download Firefox 2.0 RC 1 from the Mozilla website. The browser had a bug which I have never experienced before on the same version on the same platform: A large, about 1-inch tall gray bar exists at the bottom of the screen, right above the status bar. Hiding and reshowing the status bar didn't help. Relaunching didn't help. I couldn't find it in the chrome.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
I do know that there are some mirrors that have the gray bar and some that don't. I can't tell you which ones; I haven't logged them.
Actual Results:  
About 10% of the Firefox installers produced the gray bar after launching the newly-installed Firefox.

Expected Results:  
It should have not displayed a gray bar.

No themes or extensions (other than the default DOM and Talkback) were installed: this was a fresh installation of Firefox 2.0 RC 1.
