1) Go in to the Add-On's Manager. 2) Click the cog wheel that spawns a context menu with the option to force all add-ons to check for updates. 3) Context Menu does not appear to be attached to the cog wheel button and is instead off-set down-right from the button.

Firefox 33 final version.

Edit: I suppose this could be an issue with the "Classic Theme Restorer" add-on.

Chosen solution

Via process of elimination it seems to be caused by "Zoom Page 11.1". Disabling the addon and resetting the browser fixes the context menu position.

Here you go. It affects both of our Windows 7 x64 computers which are running Firefox 30.0 (Now 30.01).

This could be an issue with the Classic Theme Restorer add-on but I don't believe that modifies the add-on window.

Or it could be with one of the dozens of extensions that it looks like you have installed. Or maybe a combination of extensions that interfere with each other - Classic Theme Restorer is probably at the center of this issue, not the direct cause. The best way to troubleshoot that issue is to disable your installed extensions a group at a time until you discover which 'group' is at fault; then narrow it down within that group until you find the culprit.

Quite honestly though, considering that you have Update Add-ons Automatically set, I fail to see the need for using that "cog wheel" button at all. Plus that is such a small imperfection in the UI that it doesn't look like it will affect the use of that feature. I appears to be "locked" to the window border rather than to the left edge of that button.

I clicked the big green button in my email and it seems to have marked FredMcD's post as the solution when I expected the giant green button to simply take me to the thread.

The page did momentarily provide the option to undo it (Had to refresh the page a few times), I clicked the button to undo it and it showed a message that his post was unmarked as the solution but trying to mark my post as the solution still shows the error that the question already has a solution marked for it...
