[Bug 274713] [NEW] firefox opening minimum blank dialoge boxes wirh no content

[Pete Appleby]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I Have just  updated my system as at 26 Sept 2008 at 0800 GMT.  
 I cannot give you a screen shot of the about box because of the problem that has arisen.  

The problem is that the 'about' dialogue and the 'bookmarks/organise'
and other dialogues are opening as a small orange and white  rectangle.
When resized the boxes do not contain any information.   This seems to
be happening to any and all firefox dialogue boxes.

Have just tried running profile manager and a new inatance of firefox
appears with a micro dialogue box - which is empty when resized.

I have attached 2 screenshots - screenshot-1 is the dialogue box as it
first appears and screenshot-2 is after I have resized the dialogue box.

My system is Xbuntu 8.04 and is updated daily.
desktop is Gnome 2.22.03
Gnome apt reports the following:
firefox-3.0  version 3.0.3+build1-nobinonly-Oububtu0.8.04.1
xulrunner1.9 version 1.9.03+build1-nobinonly-Oububtu0.8.04.1
