Anyone using a few extensions in firefox at 800x600?

The problem is with more than two extensions the menu tab (on right click) disappears into the tool bar making the 'open in new tab' a real pain in the butt to use, is usable if you postion the page to suit (very high or very low).

I tried doing a search for the problem but couldnt find much.

Anyone had this problem or know of a fix, apart from removing the extensions or getting a bigger screen size (involves getting new moniter)

Cheers

Oops, forgot to mention it's only with linked images (right click new tab on image)

Try the Avatars on here, place it (the avatar) about mid screen and right click as if to open in new tab, a fraction under half and I loose the open options

using firefox v1

I can't replicate the problem.

Have you tried a reinstall of firefox? A reinstall usually fixes more problems. Smiling

I had a weird problem with FireFox the other day that reinstalling didn't fix. I ended up running Firefox Profile Manager.

firefox.exe -profilemanager

After exiting Firefox, run that from the command line, then set up a new profile. I think you also have to change it to the default profile.

If it doesn't work, you can always change the profile back.

I've got the problem at 1024x768, let alone 800x600. You might say that I like extensions. The solution? Just give in. Do a right-click, hit "T" and return. That will bring up the link in a new tab. At least in Windows! Wink
