Half black/half white screen...

Lee, I present to you the first screenshot of The Black and White Cookie. It offers absolutely no clues as to what the source of the problem is but I'm sure the engineers would like a copy to place in their Cnet Forum Bugs 2006 scrapbook. Happy

Heres another screen shot,http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitlediiaa3.gif

I have no script add on for firefox,"Extra protection for your Firefox: NoScript allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content only for trusted domains....."

As a test i disabled the add on and did not see any more problems.Maybe this points to a java issue.

No extensions here...

When I grabbed my screenshot I was running Firefox 1.5.0.3 off an Ubuntu LiveCD...no extensions, tweaks, etc. as well as no security software in general. One thing in common, though...all reports from you, phil66, and myself are regarding Firefox. I don't use IE enough to see if it happens there too, though.
