After starting Firefox, a blank rectangle appears inside of Firefox. After selecting a tab, the blank rectangle goes away, but reappears when Firefox is minimized as the same blank rectangle now covering a portion of our desktop image. Logging off and logging back on did not change this problem.

Thank you,

Dan

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>

Home page is "Bing" as shown... the second image is my desktop image with the rectangular hole I am hoping to get rid of!
