I have around 4 tab groups open. I organize them by resizing and moving them around the screen. Then I click on a tab and start browsing. When I go back to look at my tab groups (either by clicking the button or using "Ctrl + Shift + e"), they have all shifted up beyond the edge of the window, cutting off the group title and the top part of the top tabs. As soon as I click to move them back into place, they move back down again. It doesn't happen every time but it is very frequent.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Hello,

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).

Then perform these steps:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and select Options on Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.
  2. Select the Advanced panel and then the General tab.
  3. Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  4. Restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

If the problem is resolved, you should check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in these Knowledge base articles:

Thank you.
