Screenshots showing the issue would be helpful. Does this happen with a fresh profile?

Ok.

The suggestion to create a new Profile worked.

It was a lot of work moving my bookmarks, plug-ins etc.  But I'm back to where I was before.

Must have been corrupted by the v3 to v4 upgrade?

Reporter, considering comment2, do you think that this is an invalid bug? If so, please change the bug status to Resolved Invalid.

Comment 4

I wouldn't consider it invalid.  Since the upgrade broke it.

Sorry, it likely is invalid, since this is more likely an extension in the old profile that is causing the issue.

Considering comment5, the resolution is set to Resolved Invalid

I'm having a similar problem with FF16. It's as if the style sheet(s) aren't being loaded.  In fact, if I use FireBug to look at the <link> tag in the loaded code, it indicates that the css file didn't load.  Also, the URL is a relative address (like "/css/global.css") BUT if I edit the address (again, using FireBug [because I don't have access to the server]) to make it a fully realized URL (like "http://www.somedomain.com/css/global.css"), then the page displays properly.  

So, apparently FireFox is having a problem traversing relative paths.  BTW: the same page displays find in IE and Chrome!

I have a couple of screen shots, but I don't see a way to upload them.
