I recently updated to version 6. As I type in information the auto fill menu drops down as normal then disappears leaving only a partial outline of where it used to be. If I move the curser around in the menu outline the options flash but disappear if I stop moving the curser. If I stop on the disappearing option I want and click it works but is invisible Same thing for the spell check as I type this information. Further the second tier of the bookmark menu does the same thing.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
