Firefox display problem on imac

[RayOfHope]

I have an emac and use firefox with no problem. I just set up firefox on my parent's new imac, and am having a problem with the side scrollbar.

When a page loads, I either see no scrollbar, a tiny 'sliver' of the page, or grey space up and down the side where the scrollbar should be. I can scroll, I just can't see the bar.

Any idea how to fix this? I've played around with every setting I can, but it didn't help.

1. Does the new iMac have system 10.4?

My new one does - got it about two weeks ago, and several web sites that worked fine on my pld system (10.3.9, Safari 2.0) don't work well, or at all, on my new system.

I don't have any fix for you, either. Just curious about the new system.

2. No, it's 10.3.9

And its bugging the crap out of me!

5. Don't have that problem here

Using FF 1.0.3 on OS X 10.3.9

3. the only thing i can suggest

is delete firefox AND all the prefs and libraries, and reinstall

4. it sounds like you have a theme installed...

Many of the themes for mac for Firefox have this scroll bar problem. I don't know why someone doesn't fix it. It has been like that forever. I would just switch back to the default Firefox theme (the other one I use that works is Plastikfox) and restart Firefox and you should be fine!
