I use a private web site with drop down lists. In Firefox the lists go off the bottom of the screen and I cannot see the whole list. Doesn't happen in IE

I use a private web site with a number of drop down lists. Dependent upon the size of the list they sometimes disappear off of the bottom of the page and I cannot see the whole list. Short lists are fine, lists with 100 items are fine, about 15 items and I only see 8.

I have tested from Firefox 12 up to the current version and this happens no matter what the version.

I have tested in IE 8 - 10 and this doesn't occur.

IE seems to, almost, center the selection box in the middle of the screen where as Firefox does it to the bottom.

In full screen mode the list just about squeezes onto the screen, but I think if it had 16 items I'd still loose one.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks

Does this happen in a new profile? Have you tested that yet?

May you please attach a screenshot?

Screen shot attached. There are an additional 5 items in the list that cannot be seen. May also be useful for you to know that this it is a pop up form that contains the drop down lists

Hmm i'm not sure, making a profile is the most surpreme thing you can do.

Can you reproduce in the latest nightly.

Tried all that with no result. Done a bit more investigating and Opera and a number of others all have the same issue. Only one I've found works like IE is FlashPeak Slimbrowser
