An annoying grey box with the text "100%" is displaying on all of my Firefox screens. I do not know what this is or how to remove. Any ideas? thank you.

This box appeared on 1/31/11, I believe. I cannot move it by clicking and dragging, and a right click does not display any additional info. I've goggled around and not found any references to it either. The box is displayed in the upper left quadrant of the screen.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:
