[Bug 230485] Re: firefox "blinks" black & removes main menu / task bar at top of Ubuntu desktop screen

[DavidC]

 I have been having the same or similar problem. I would open Firefox and it would only be maximized and could only get out of it by going to file-close or alt-tab to another application to get the Gnome menu and application bars to minimize it.
 I saw someone had the problem here with stumbleupon so I looked in my addons and found I had interclue running. I disabled interclue and the problem stopped. I then installed stumbleupon and after running a short period and restarting Firefox it returned, disabled stumbleupon, restarted Firefox and it was corrected again. 
 I have my ideas as to what it may be but I'm sure someone who can program could figure what exactly it may be. The bug seems to be associated with addons that search or log information/links on sites visited. 
 My suggestion is to maybe disable all addons and add them back one at a time testing them all and seeing what the offending ones have in common. Probably be a good Idea to give the bug fixers here the list.
 I hope this helps someone temporarily get running, and the programmers to ID the bug.
Dave
