MAC OSX, FF4.0, After closing, FF->Preferences, it does a "genie" effect into a grey square in the upper left corner of the screen under the "apple" "Firefox" area in the main menu. It will not go away and blocks everything that it covers, ie, the "close+minimize+maximize" buttons on the FF window below the Apple Menu Bar. In OSX, the minimize to app icon with the Genie Effect is turned OFF. How do I get rid of this?
Brand new MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.7. Newest Firefox 4.0. This grey block is very irritating! After Preferences' Window is closed, this block remains on screen until FF is closed. If you need further information just ask, for I want to get rid of this bug or my favorite browser. :(
