    I am using the latest verison of FF on my WixXp Pro SP2 machine and I encounter a problem when a web site launches a frame popup, like a bank site payment calender or schedule. The frame shows up but the window is too small to view the complete frame and I can not stretch the frame to a larger size. The result is that I can not view the info and I have to use IE on that particular site. Is anyone else having this type of problem? It's frustrating because other than this FF works like a charm and I prefer it to IE.
    Thanks.

    I have had a problem like that, and it was due to an extention. I am not sure if the problem is the same for you, but try to launch Firefox in Safe Mode (from All Programs|Firefox|safe mode, or Start|Run, select firefox.exe through Browse and append the path with -safe-mode, with keyboard space before the minus.
    Your path should be:C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -safe-mode
    Firefox will start with all Themes and Extentions disabled. Try to get to your site this way. Even now, and with Firefox1.5.0.6 only, I have somewhat the same problem, but it is not so bad. I can select the date, and a keyboard enter does the job. May be I reinstalled the same extention, may be it is something else, but safe-mode start will tell you if it is the program, or something which you did to it.

    Thanks Westside! It works fine in Safe Mode. Now I will try to see what extension is causing the problem.

    Brett,
    I did not use have many extentions, so I narrowed down to three, and removed one at a time, putting them back if there was no effect. Needless to say it was the last one, which I must have put back, since the problem is back.
    I will try again, and see if we have a match, one of us could contact the author, or, just dump the extention.
