Firefox 3.6.3 About panel shrunk to almost nothing

[NZjelle]

Binary package hint: firefox

Just had a strange experience after running update manager just now. I think there was an update included for Firefox, although I did not pay close attention. After the updates I started Firefox (I already had 3.6.3) and clicked on Help-About to see if anything new had been installed. At first I thought nothing happened. Then, I noticed a few pixels on my screen looking funny. After mousing over them my cursor changed and seemed able to resize the screen area. So I did, only to find to my pleasant surprise that it was the About window, shrunk down to almost nothing. Resized it, and it's OK now. However, I don't know what caused it.

I have not tried reproducing, because I cannot rerun all those updates and see if the same thing happens again. I am curious if somebody else has same experience.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Was Firefox running while you installed the updates?

Thank you for the question. I'm pretty sure I closed Firefox before the
update started to install. I know there was a large number of updates,
so I thought it would be wise to close all applications while update
manager was doing its thing.
