I have tried restarting firefox (using version 6.01.). Didn't help. I clicked the colored circle at the top left but each did what they are to do (closed the tab, the yellow sent the screen to my dock (I'm using a Mac running 10.5.8.11) and the green one just enlarged the screen. I am not in full screen mode. How do I get the bottom scroll bar or whatever it is called back so I can see progress and also resize?

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.
It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

You can also try to move (delete) the Firefox plist file.

Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Thanks Co-rel for replying. I tried all of these but nothing worked. Any other suggestions?

I think I figured it out because it started happening in my applications too (Word, etc.) I reset the display size and everything is back the way it should be. Again thanks for helping.
