My Firefox OSX has been working so well
all of a sudden the page is so tall I can't see the status bar or use the find feature. Anyone know the cure? I'd hate to have to go back to Explorer.

:(

1. strange
Have you tried the green button in the upper left corner? Have you tried selecting "full screen" in the "view" menu?

If those things don't work I would simply trash fiefox.app (the application in your apps folder) and then reinstall. It's free so that would be an easy solution- and your bookmarks and extensions would stick around.

Don't go back to IE ever! There are so many other far better browsers- Safari, Opera, Camino etc...

2. Have you tried grabbing the little crosshatched piece in th lower left ...


... corner and dragging it upward until the page fits the screen? I know that's a simpleton's fix, but I LIKE simple things, they fit my simple mind so well.

4. Working now, thanks!
I re-installed, but no luck. So I went to Mozilla.org's troubleshooting section, and they suggested restarting in safe mode and creating a new profile. And thank goodness, my bookmarks DID re-appear! Thanks, all!
