Unusual "Lost" Composition Window using FireFox

For the past hour, most of the contents of any page where I'm supposed to enter text, be it Post New Topic, Reply, Quote, etc all are missing.  I have both FireFox and Opera running, and I realized that I may not have tested Quick Reply.  

OK, it isn't affected.  But the others don't have the edit window in the middle at all, just black between the word "Text" and the button for "Submit" (well, the two rows of smilies are down near the two buttons.  

I shut FireFox down and restarted it, but the symptom remained.  I've not heard of this happening before.  I like FireFox better than Opera (this site looks better in FireFox than Opera, for instance).  

Anyone want to hazard a WAG?  I dislike having to reboot the PC, if I don't really have to do so!

Rebooting Windows did not fix this.

The only time I had anything remotely like this, was about 9-10 months ago when I was running Comodo as my AV/Firewall package, and it registered the "standard form" coding as a false positive, as refused to display it.
I had to set an exclusion rule for it to work properly, and took about 2 months for it to get sorted out by Comodo.

If it was my AV, it should also interfere with Opera as well as FireFox.

True, unless its the particular way that Firefox handles the code compared to Opera, and that triggers a heuristic alert. Its been too long for me to be able to recall.
Do you have any AV addons for Firefox, such as BitDefender that may be tripping it up? Or something like NoScript that may prevent the text box from showing?
I assume you've purged Firefox's cache.

With my "narrow version" of wideband (bundle of services, but the 'Net speed is slow), I hate losing all of the stuff that's in there. FireFox bogs down for DAYS after I have to do it.

Backup your cache folder before you do so. Check the site, and if it then works, restore the files, and say no to any overwriting.
