Bookmarks/PlainOldFavorites may be acting up

more options

I am running Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with PlainOldFavorites 1.1.3 plug-in among others and when I access a large favorite/bookmark sub-folder that is longer than the screen (1600 x 900 landscape) the task bar gets trashed. I use PlainOldFavorites instead of importing into Bookmarks because I occasionally have to use that horrible Internet Explorer 9. I do not know if it is Firefox or the plug-in. I am leaning toward the plug-in because it does not stay within the display area of Firefox. I had a screen shot but this box would not accept it. I posted this on PlainOldfavorites site also.

The bookmarks drop-down menu does extend below the bottom of the browser window, covering the Windows Taskbar to within like 2 pixels of the bottom of the screen. That's not new to Firefox 4.0 though, it's been like that since Firefox 3.0.

Thanks for the reply. I did not notice it before and just tried bookmark current news and it also trashes task bar until I run another program that puts a tab on task bar.
