890549 - Latest version after Windows 7 update, entire Firefox window is translucent, see thru it to wallpaper, nothing visible in Firefox except logo in upper left and buttons in upper left for minimize, maximize, exit

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[vjmilne15]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Happened after Windows 7 critical update. Firefox window translucent, essentially invisible except as noted for logo and 3 buttons. Faint diagonal lines run from top left to bottom right. When I close it (x), a dialogue box appears to warn me I am about to close 2 tabs. I tried to fix it with a system restore. 


Actual results:

Firefox was back to normal for ONE day. I shut down at night. The next morning it was again completely useless, unable to see anything. I have had to switch to Google Chrome.  


Expected results:

Should have remained visible instead of creating a blurry window through which one can see the wallpaper or any window behind it.
