Firefox opens tiny window instead of web page

[Adi]

  I just updated and this bug doesn't allow me to see the current version. Trying to open anything in Firefox results in a small window (tiny almost invisible), the same happens if I try to get to a web site using the address bar or search using the google toolbar. Trying to get to preferences has the same result.

Can you use a new profile, as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#head-fa398dbbff0621c74659f3a1303dfde9b46f221b

and see if it still has the problem?

That indeed cleared up the problem. Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in firefox-3.0.

For future reference you might be interested to know that a lot of applications have bug reporting functionality built in to them. This can be accessed via the Report a Problem option in the Help menu for the application with which you are having an issue. You can learn more about this feature at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
