Firefox appearance changes when called from within another app, such as livemail or objectdock. Appears normal if started from desktop
Win 7 32 bit 4GB ram
Firefox changes appearance when called from within another app. Bookmark folder icons are changed, font size and line spacing are much reduced. Menu bar is opaque, when normally it is partially transparent. Runs sluggishly, especially in a web page that uses shockwave
Firefox appears and runs normally when run from desktop icon or menu

Could you send a screenshot of Firefox with wrong appearance please? It could be easier to identify the problem.
Hi Banban
I've attached 2 jpegs showing the 2 different forms of firefox, depending if I cal direct or from within another app
Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
EDIT: Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder.

Hi cor-el
Did as you suggested, all compatability unticked, problem persists.
Strangely if I set compatability to Win 7, on a win 7 PC all works as it should.
But this seems to cause shockwave plugin to lock up and freeze the page I am on
Thanks Nik
