Hello,

After upgrading to Firefox 4, when I open a new browser window, it displays as a new tab. But with the tab under all the toolbars, the address bar missing, and my bookmarks gone. Back, forward, and reload buttons are not functional. I have to open 3-4 new windows before getting one that's "normal". Has anyone else seen this? A fix, please?

Thank you.

You can try:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
