GOOGLE SEARCH WINDOWS SHRINK TO LEFT OF SCREEN, HIDE

Hello Experts:

Pls see attached screen shot right away - this question is hard to describe in words. It's all about Google search return windows shrinking/disappearing.

Anyway, here goes: any Google Search I perform - whether from Google's own search box, or from the add-on "Groowe" Search Toolbar - ALWAYS returns a mostly-hidden Search Results window. The results window  always appears at least 1/2 hidden, to the left of my screen.I can not drag it or "open" it out to fill the screen.  

This only happens with Google searches. All other search engines return normal, full-sized results windows. i.e. Yahoo, Dogpile, AlltheWeb, etc - they all work normally.

I'm on a Mac,  OSX ver 10.6.7, using Firefox 3.6.17 (I've already test-run Firefox 4 and HATED it, so pls don't ask me to update Firefox!). I have numerous Firefox add-ons, including Groowe Search Toolbar, Firefox Showcase, Cooliris (these are ones I am guessing may be related to this issue).

This problem did not begin with any newly-installed anything - add-ons, etc. It just began spontaneously. User generated image

I just ran the full set of maintenance tasks using Onyx, which includes cleaning Firefox cache. No difference. Oh well, it worth a try! Any other ideas?
