I reinstalled my windows, and I have the latest firefox with latest addons on it.
What could go wrong?
I get a Big notification for everything I have - downloads, emails, etc.
The red square is the actual BIG notification.
The green Square is as it used to be before reinstall.(some days ago).
I want to re-dimension it. Is there an about:something to tweak from?
Thank you.

Moving to Firefox Support as no bug has yet been identified here.

Re: changing the Big notification window.
Try running in Firefox "Safe Mode".
> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode
or... Help > Re-start with Addons disabled or hold down your Shift key as you click the Firefox short cut..
Do not check any boxes.
This is a fault finding mode.
NB: Be careful of the "Delete all bookmarks except for back-ups" option.
Don't add any extensions or themes until it's working O.K.
If Firefox is O.K. in Safe Mode then it's possibly an extension/theme...etc causing it.
Run Firefox in normal mode & disable them all. Re-start Firefox.
Enable each in turn, or by ½'s, re-starting Firefox each time, till the faulty extension is found.
Either update or un-install it.
See this incomplete list,
> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
When in Safe Mode...
* The status of plug-ins is not affected.
* Custom preferences are not affected.
* All extensions are disabled.
* The default theme is used, without a persona.
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
* The JIT/Javascript compiler is disabled.
* The default toolbar layout is used.
* Hardware acceleration is disabled.

Re: changing the Big notification window.
Just another brilliant decision by Mozilla to make a completely unnecessary change. Nothing that I'm aware you can do yourself, although you can install the Classic Pop-up Alerts addon to get the look of the old window back.

Re: changing the Big notification window.
eheeey, ReggieNJ, thank you !
Your addon suggestion worked. It reset the notification to original position/dimention.
Though I have a bit too many addons installed and I wished to be a way to do it manually from about:config (or similar).
But it worked!
1000 thanks!

Re: changing the Big notification window.
Daaa, I did what mr. LIMPET235 suggested.
I disabled all addons and the BIG notification is still there!!!
I think is a firefox joke. haha, now get it back as it was before OR I may suggest to make a bigger joke- make it full screen )) lol
