Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Using Ubuntu 9.10 (have seen this on previous versions as well)
Firefox upgrading from 3.5.6 to 3.5.7 (have seen behaviour on previous upgrades)

Allowed Update Manager to update vaious items including FF whilst FF was running.
I expected the update to complate and then to either be able to continue using FF or to have a message telling me it needs to restart. I got neither.
Once the upgrade was finished, FF would attempt to display a dialog, but it come out at about 8px X 24px. When expanded this dialog is completely blank.
You can see this dialog as in the attached image as a black blob just to the right of "The Register" on the red background.

This dialog should either not display or give a meaningful message and allow the user to restart FF.

338785 has just be set to "Won't fix" as 3.0 is EOL, but the problem still persists in 3.5. Can't this be de-duped, please? Otherwise this issue will not get addressed.

No, this probably will not be fixed in 3.0. Did you look at the other bug? There is an open Ubuntu task for Firefox 3.5 and an upstream task where the work will be done.
