As in the heading, since I updated to FF4, my basic page when I'm browsing the internet (don't know what the technical term for it is, sorry), I have a gap at the top right hand side of the screen From the top left of my screen, I have these stepped lines: 1 - The FF logo - then a big black space to the right, all the way across the screen 2 - File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help - then the big black space 3 - Tabs - (Google / Ask a question / FF help - then the black space Below that, my screen looks fine

What have I done wrong?

I've uninstalled FF and reinstalled 3 times now, and it comes back the same every time How can I make it look tidier, or am I just going to have to learn to live with it looking like this? I hope not, because I've been a FF devotee for years. If so, I may cut my losses and try Chrome :(
