I saw an announcement on the Wikipedia front page that Firefox 1.5 has been released. So, like a fool, I download and install it.

Now every page has a large grey area beneath the status bar. Nothing I have tried to configure, click on, or enlarge will overwrite it or make it go away. It occupies maybe the bottom 1/6th of the screen, and is annoying as hell.

Is this a local and idiosyncratic result, or are you suffering the same difficulty? If you are also getting this problem, how do you get the blank space to go away and get your pages to appear in the entire window once more?

The Mozilla equivalent of "try rebooting" is "try a fresh profile". I believe most internal config file details have changed between 1.0 and 1.5, and what you're describing sounds like profile confusion. Try a fresh profile and see if that works. You can copy the bookmarks file across (it's not hard to find, it's in the old profile called "bookmarks.html").

There are other issues I found. Linky no longer works with the new version, even though it said it did. Neither does Flashblock, apparently.

Since both of these things are vital to me, I'm going to stick around with the older version for a while yet. (And will anyone be updating AllowRightClick anytime soon?)

Yeah, waiting for extensions can be a bugger. OTOH, the dev versions of 1.5 have been around quite long enough for the extension writers to arse-enable themselves ... I'm waiting on more than a few extensions myself.

The fundamental misbehaviour - did that go away with a fresh profile?
