    Works for me, too, FF 4 32 bit.

    The problem, btw, only happens on my right-hand monitor which is taller than the left. Graphics board is ATI Radeon HD 5450.

    How do you access “Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General ->” If the dropdown menu is unaccessible?

    Does not work for me on Kubuntu 12.04.2. My hardware accelaration was already turned off before, but the problem still occurs.

    And weirdly, I haven’t encountered this on Windows 7, but only on Linux (KDE, E17, Gnome).

    Hey, Could anyone please help me how to increase the width of dropdown menu list for firefox browser only (do not want to increase the main control width like). Because default dropdown menu width of firefox browser is smaller than chrome browser.
