When I open my bookmarks drop down and it is larger than the Firefox window and I click on a bookmark the bookmark drop down closes, but a ghost image of the part of the bookmark that lies outside the firefox window on the desktop remains, hitting F5 to refresh the screen will clear it, but shouldnt have to do this. Using latest version of Firefox (15)

According to the browser information saved with your question, you are still using FF13. Grab the installer here, run it, and follow the instructions to update.
