Full Drop Down Menus Instead of Scrolling Ones

When I right click, or when I use the "Tools" or "View" menus, rather than seeing the full menu, I get a partial menu with a downward black triangle at the bottom and an upward facing triangle at the top. If I hover over that triangle, the menu scrolls up and down to let me see additional items on the menu.

I would prefer to see the whole menu. How can I do that?

I can't think of any place to set that, except... I noticed you have the add-on ChromEdit Plus listed in your "More system details" info. If you check that extension, does it mention anything about the number of items on a menu (e.g., max-height or similar rule)?

As far as I know (and I'm a relative newbie) chromedit plus isn't like when you type "about:config" in the browser bar and you get this list of options that you can toggle on or off. You have to know a sequence that you want to type into your profile, which then causes changes. I only have it because when I'm googling questions about firefox, occasionally an answer will say to cut-and-past this into your chromedit profile, which i can do because i have add on.

Do you know if there is a way to set my profile so that I get an email when someone (like you) replies to my post? right now, i am just coming back occasionally to see if there are responses.

Thank you for your help!

I don't know how notifications work on this forum. (I'm not getting any.)

If you have added new rules in the past, then take a look at your userChrome.css file. It is in your Firefox profile folder which is roughly here:

C:\Documents and Settings\windowsusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profilename\chrome

If you like, you can paste the rules here for review. If anything looks too personal, delete that from your text before hitting Post Reply.

Here's what I have. Thanks!

#urlbar-icons > #star-button
{
display:   none !important;
}

/*Remove magnifying glass button from search box*/
.search-go-button-stack { display: none !important; } 

/* Eliminate the throbber and its annoying movement: */
#throbber-box { display: none !important; }

You need to place the @namespace line at the top of userChrome.css before any rules.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */

#urlbar-icons > #star-button
{
display:   none !important;
}

/* Eliminate the throbber and its annoying movement: */
#throbber-box { display: none !important; }


There aren't any rules related to autorepeatbuttons.

Thank you! I have changed this in my userChrome profile, but it has not helped the problem.
