User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1

I have a wordpress blog.  Everything has been fine, until the latest update (FF 3.0).  Now, all my embedded flash slideshows that I use on the blog look like the display windows are too small.  The bottom right of the slideshow window is cut-off and I can't see the whole thing.  Additionally, a flash plugin within my wordpress admin is not displaying correctly either.  I have installed an older version of FF and that one is still displaying everything just fine.  Same with IE, just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any embedded flash slideshow on my site.  one is listed above for ease.
2. See how the black stroke/border is missing on the right and bottom of the display?  My slideshow is getting cut off.
3.


Expected Results:  
there should be a bottom "controls" bar that shows at the bottom of the flash slideshows...that's when you know you're seeing the whole thing.

I have flash player version 9,0,124,0 installed.  I also tried 9,0,115,0.  Both gave the same errors.

Be warned though...I'm not the most tech saavy person.  Just a girl looking for help.  I'm pretty sure it's something with the FF 3.0 version, as the problem didn't exist before...and it works fine on FF 2.0.

In case it makes a difference, the program used to create all the flash shows has also not changed.  wordpress had not changed either.

Sigh...any help would be most appreciated.  Even if it's just a "hello, so sorry.  I can see that problem, too"

Alas, I'm not able to reproduce this, at least not on Windows. I see all borders.

Works fine here on OS X 10.5.

I noticed from your screenshot that you are not using the default theme for Firefox 3. Maybe that theme is messing up something ?

Could you switch to the default theme (using the Add-ons manager, from the Tools menu) and see if you can reproduce the issue ?

Thanks for your comment philippe and Ria.  Since philippe said it was working fine on his OS X 10.5, I decided it must be my version of firefox.  I did a complete erase and reinstall...fixed the glitch!  YEAH...back to normal!  I can find other things to go wrong elsewhere in my world again!  THANKS for your help!!

Possibly the theme you were using ? Or an (old) extension ?
