Downloaded new version. Now I can't respond/forward emails because the window automatically minimizes no matter what I try.

I use SmarterMail for my work email. Normally, when I respond to or forward an email, a small window pops up in order for me to respond. After downloading the new version of Firefox today, the response window automatically shrinks, even after I click maximize or hit Alt plus space bar. I cant even type in the box. It shrinks down to only reveal the subject line of the email. If I push tab, it only tabs down one line (nowhere near the subject box). The same thing happened on my home laptop but I am only now figuring out that it is because of downloading your new version.
