I don't see what could cause this. I can't reproduce on Firefox 3.0.12 on RHEL 5. Does it happen on a fresh profile or on other machines? Does it go away if you hide some things with CSS? If so, what rules make it stop? > Is there a way to turn that added stuff off? It is pure noise, not > helpful at all. (yes, css display:none, but must everyone do that?) No, this is not something that justifies a user preference. It's one line and some tooltips. If it's actually causing significant problems for some users, most likely we'd just remove it altogether (and report a bug to Mozilla if appropriate). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
