After the browser has been open for an hour or more, check boxes, text boxes, and command buttons do not render on web pages. Restarting Firefox solves the problem. Happens on WinXP SP3 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. Using Firefox 3.6.13.

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.

See:

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thanks! Apparently the culprit is Xmarks, which is unfortunate as I will continue to use it.
