I have the same problem on all my computers, one running Windows 7 and two with Vista.

The three buttons in the upper right corner of the FF windows are not shown correctly. They are soft of cut off in the middle when the FF window is maximized.

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

No, that´s not the problem. It is possible to resize the window and the scroll bar is shown as it should.

The problem is that the upper right buttons are distorted, sort of cut off in the middle. They are all three of them shown in this wrong way. They work just fine, but doesn't look right.

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

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Problem solved! I identified an add-on theme that caused the problem.

Thanks!
