Where have the top right icons gone?

[julesshed1]

Hi,

Firefox 145.0 (64 bit) has lost its (-) minimize, ([]) maximize and (X) close options which makes it completely unusable. Why?

Hello

Is it, about, the subject, the title bar.

Try pressing F11 2-3 times.

Can you reinstall/refresh Firefox? And see if that fixes it?

[siffemcon]

That most likely won't fix it.

[Heath]

Nothing hurts trying.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. The F11 trick did work. I know Firefox updated recently (v 145.0 64-bit) and that seemed to cause the top r/h icons to "disappear". I sometimes use Nortons program updater feature which is what I did when this happened. I'll stick to updating stuff properly! Jules 🙂

As far as i'm concerned my update software App is voluntarily deactivated, that's my strategy.

And for information purposes, as far as i'm concerned.

Update Firefox to the latest release https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-release, that's my strategy.

It's not your or Norton's fault - just another bug. You'll have to do the fix every time you restart until the bug is fixed.

Hi All

although I marked the F11 as a solution, I think I should have described it as a temporary fix. I have uninstalled 145.0. Then I went through and weeded out all the bits that related to Firefox manually. I obviously missed something somewhere as on a fresh download and install it wanted to reinstall it (so not a fresh install) as it detected that Firefox had been installed before. The first attempt failed. The second attempt succeeded but the problem still exists (F11 fix). I think you are right in suggesting this might be a bug. 

These are the extensions/plugins I use to give a better explanation of the configuration.

Many thanks for your help & ideas

It IS a bug, as mentioned by Agentvirtuel way above 🙂

Thank you,

I now know its a bug. Unfortunately, due to a combination of ADHD, OCD and complex PTSD, I have to let my brain through its course of my non-standard thought processes so I that am happy that I have proved it myself. It is not denigrating  to those who (most of whom are far better qualified than me) have identified the bug. I submitted further information in case there was something else awry that I had missed. I had hoped my additional input might help. Based on parts of my experience, I don't think I shall use this (undoubtedly useful) forum any more. Thank you for all your responses and I wish you all well,

Jules

I have the same problem. Have to resize the window to make the upper right icons show - only sometimes.

Even running brand-new Firefox 147.0, the problem remains for me. To clarify: "the problem" is that the standard Windows title bar is missing when starting Firefox in the maximized state, which is my preference, despite my having checked the "Title Bar" checkbox under "Customize Toolbar...", running on Windows 10 Home ver. 10.0.19045. (Maybe it's also worth emphasizing that the maximized state and fullscreen mode -- F11 -- are two different things.)
