Dear Mozilla Support

The other day a strange long square box appeared on the right side of my bookmarks bar.

The bookmarks bar I refer to starts on the left with the words "most Visited" "Start" etc, etc, with all my bookmark links icons displayed going from left to the right... but ... strangely, one day when I started my computer a strange "long square frame" appeared to the right of my bookmarks bar , and then pushed all of my bookmarks over to the left (eliminating most ) and now I have just a few bookmarks on that bar with a double arrow " >> " like this . I have to click on the "double arrow" to see the remainder of my bookmarks. I do not wish to have it this way, I would like this "long square frame" removed , so I will finally have "room" for my bookmarks again. By the way, this frame is "Not clickable" nothing happens when you click it, and it is "NOT A SEARCH BOX" it is just a long square frame taking up space on my bookmarks bar. Can someone help. Thankyou in advance ! Rick

There have been reports that this is caused by the Zoom Page 9.0 extension.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Problem Solved ! Thankyou !! When I removed the "Zoom" extension, the mysterious square frame "instantly disappeared"

Thankyou again ! Remarkable, I appreciate your help in clearing up my bookmarks bar, thanks for helping me, your very kind.
