Don't ask me. But I don't like it so much.

It should be easy to straighten out mine, because I don't have AdBlock.
But, since the problem is minimal, I may bear with it. I am missing only a small part of the popup, and only at a few sites. The problem with the previous 1.5 was so bad that I was getting only the farleft one inch of the popup. This is so fascinating. I woncer how an extention can affect popups?

I'm having the same problem with popups. I assume this is a bug of the current build. On some of the popups, I can grab the edge & drag it to full size; on others I can't.
One other issue I've noticed is that sometimes when i think I'm typing in a text box, FF will open the ctrl f page find bar & I'll be typing in there without requesting it.
Also regarding the earlier Win 98 SE issues, I have Win 98 w/ 512 ram on 1 machine (said to be the most Win 98 can access) & about 620 on another. Firefox has pretty much always had memory leak issues with Win 98. Someday I'll upgrade, really. To the person with 128 mb ram, I would suggest going to 512 if at all possible.

I forgot to add, I'm not using site advisor or adblock. My extensions are no script, open book, add bookmark here, forecast fox, customise Google, whois, ajax yahoo, show ip, view cookies & pdf download.

I am using Forecastfox enhanced, and Site Advisor has issued an update. I have had no more popup problem. But, I am not sure that problems will not reoccur with more extentions added. or other updates.
It seems pretty obvious that some popups can be resized, and other can't, that the website is, primarily, at fault. Some popups never gave me problems, other popups seem to have gotten better.
As for memory leak, I have no evidence that it is a memory leak in WinXP, but rather usage of excessive memory. How can one explain that K-ninja uses only 6-9 MB, and FF1.5.0.3 uses 53MB (I just openedd it, and I am not using it). Of course K-Ninja has no extention nor Tabs.
