No, it has nothing to do with Greasemonkey. You need to open Profile
Manager:

To open Firefox's Profile Manager, click Start>>>Run, type firefox.exe
-p in the field, and click OK. Note the space after exe, it is important.

Once its open, follow the directions to create a new profile.

Before doing that, you might try opening Firefox in Safe Mode, to see if
you have an extension causing the display problem.
