Solved FF 5.0.1 Scroll Bar

[Roderunner]

Hi Folks, if I open my browser by clicking an email link, the scroll bar is missing, opening FF from desktop shortcut works.
I am aware it only shows if needed but not in my case.

You may want to create a new profile to see if there is a problem with your profile or some extensions you can do this to test for problems.
Click on the rb: Start Button and if you have it on the right side of the start menu click on Run if it is not there type "run" without quote marks in the search box and choose Run.


In the Run box type "firefox.exe -ProfileManager" without quote marks and click OK


Click on Create Profile you can also uncheck don't ask at startup now.


Follow the Wizard and click Next.


Enter new profile name and click Finish.


Make sure that you have unchecked don't ask at startup and select your new profile and click on Start Firefox. This profile manager box will open each time you start Firefox until you check the Don't ask at startup box again.


After you have tested your new profile you can check the don't ask at startup box again and you will not get the profile manager starting each time you start Firefox.

Hi Jerry, FF 5.0.1 as in thread topic.
FF forums never replied and I sent feedback.
-
Are you aware of this:-
I was using FF 5.0. I clicked Help > About Firefox. It showed I was using the latest version. I then attempted to send feedback, but was told I could only do so if using the latest version with a link to download it. I am now on FF version 5.0.1. Is'nt life strange.

are you using a theme add on?

 

[Roderunner]

are you using a theme add on?

Yes, in default mode.

 

[Heyyou]

Try using a different Persona. Maybe the trouble is in the theme and not FF. Also, try clicking the Alt key and see if the scroll bar appears. That's a long shot, but that's what I use to access the menu bar.

 

[boohbah]

just try disabling the theme temporarily and then check it.

I don't use any 'Persona's'

Then try a different theme.

During the past 45 minutes, I have had quite a few notifications of replies to posts here and at Windows Secrets Lounge. Before clicking the links, I closed FF and so far the blasted Scroll Bar has appeared everytime.
I'm currently using default theme as you suggested and its still working.

It seems my recent claim of scroll bar not showing on both pc's when browser is opened by clicking an email link was WRONG. Its working perfectly on the Laptop. Will have a go on wired pc ramorra.
