Holy Cow, Justin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That did it.  FF is displaying the pop-ups again with a solid background!!!
I set FF back to default with the instructions you sent and it went very
smoothly.
You are amazing!
Thanks ever so much!

wow Cyndi, what an odd situation. may I suggest that you reset Firefox back
to default settings?

here is a guide

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences

try following the instructions under the heading....
Resetting all preferences to program defaultsOh and backup your
favorites/bookmarks in Firefox first. lol

It looks like a bit of effort but it may be some quirky little check box in
the settings that is causing your problem.


Good Luck Cyndi,

Justin
