I recently updated FF 1.5 with all the latest security updates.

Since that time, I've lost the scrollbar. I've looked through all possible settings, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the browser three times. I even tried going back to 1.07, but I could never get the browser to open.

Another problem is a hanging, partial dropdown box, which won't go away no matter what I try.



Any suggestions on how to fix either of these issues?
