Software Update popup window too wide

The Software Update window, when it pops up, is WAY too wide, at about 1.4x my screen width. It has been like this for quite some time, and has stayed this way even after migrating to my new computer.

I realize that probably means it's an issue with my profile data, but I don't relish the prospect of resetting my bookmarks, preferences, and addons in the process.

Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Done, thank you for the quick reply! I don't guess I'll know whether or not it helped though, until the next update.

I'm going to bookmark this, and try to remember to come back to it when I see the Software Update window again.

Until then, thank you!
