text from bookmarks menu appears on desktop

Just installed FF4 yesterday and since doing so, have found that text from my Bookmarks menu is appearing on my desktop below my browser window. This is happening even when I haven't actually used my Bookmarks drop-down.

I tried minimizing the browser but this didn't help. The text disappeared only when I either closed the browser completely, or when I dragged the open browser window from side to side on the desktop.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
A troubleshooting mode.
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holidng the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.
