this is hopelessly useless - makes poor SoBs, looking for a solution, even more p*d off.

Pushing to mozilla.com. I'm not sure what the right component for plugin-check bugs is. Or what exactly the bug is.

Vito -> What is the issue with the page? Page looks to load the same in 3.6.13 and the latest nightly?

Comment 4

[Vito Smolej]

The page loads the same way (sort of minimized, can't change its size) in 3.6.13 as well. Same behavior (!) also ...

normal, as-expected behaviour:

Curiouser and curiouser:
The incriminated pages display correctly in IE8

What's the "enclosed frame" to which you're referring?

Comment 8

[Vito Smolej]

"enclosed frame" is a misnomer: what I meant, was the complete page/frame/thingy, that should behave like any normal page but it does not: it sticks to the middle of the display, no way to change its size and position; however, it is clickable: if you play cool (no nervous, trembling hands on the mouse pls), you may even succeed to click what you intended to. 

Compare the two attachments (comment 5 and 6).

red ears alert: I had www.mozilla.com zoomed down in my profile. Sorry for the chatter.
