The Ctrl+F search fonction is bugged, the window is slim and I can type anything inside it .

when I press ctrl+f, here is what I see : http://puu.sh/h5q9G/9d7ff3f1fd.jpg

nothing that I could write appears in the box (as it should be the case), and when I press Enter, nothing happens. Out of that, the options such as "underline" seem to be responsive, and I can close the little tab by clicking over the x at the right.

It appears that the tab is way slimer than it should be too. 

I hope I'm not asking for something that has already been solved somewhere... and I apologize for bothering you.

Thanks in advance.

It does look as though the normal style rules for Firefox's UI are not being applied correctly.

Did this just start after a software change, such as a Firefox version update, or a Windows or graphics card software update?

Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.

If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

and OK the restart.

Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).

Does the interface have a more appropriate size?
