  I can remove all the buttons (like refresh, back, forward, address bar, etc.), but the small right 3 "minimize, maximize, close" buttons I can't delete, how can I do it with userChrome.css or another option.

  Minimize/maximize/close buttons do not work when you run Aero.  Whenever I change my Aero, reduce it and expand buttons work but the close button still does not work.  This happens with all the windows and I'll have to use the Task Manager to close the windows and I have to close the task with the exit button Manager because the close button does not work on either.

• Minimize/maximize/close, missing

  Not sure if it's a problem of Windows 7 or AFX but Ive noticed that the top of my AFX interface disappeared.

  Sound the band that runs across the top of the screen with minimize/maximize/close buttons on the right and the Project Details AFX and icon on the left.

  It is not a space where he was... the rest but just straight interface to the edge.

  Any ideas what I could have done (or says) to lose? Sees nothing obvious in any prefs or settings, but it would be useful because it is there!

• 6.6 without minimize/maximize/close Lightroom (Win10)

  The Menu bar on Lr6.6 is different from all my other apps in Windows 10: it's gray (not blue) and it is not the familiar minimize, maximize, and close icons at the top right.

  I have to use Ctrl + Q or Alt + F4 to close Lr6.6.

  Some features of the keyboard are not Win10 standards:

  Windows + left and Windows + right to not work,.

  Windows + up and Windows + down are not going between a window and full screen, but the size of the window can not be changed by click-and - drag.

  How can I rectify this?

  Just found the answer myself: SHIFT + F (Menu bar disappears completely) then SHIFT + F again and the menu bar is back to normal.

  Sorry to have troubled you.

• Cannot minimize/maximize/close/move/resize Windows.

  The right upper buttons to minimize, maximize, and close a window do not work. Respond to mouse pointer, they don't take any action when you click it. Also, I can't move or resize windows by dragging them, etc. I can always shut down windows with the task bar or the Task Manager and everything within a window function normally. In addition, some pop up dialogue boxes (that is to say, "do you want to save this document before closing?") have no text in buttons, while maintaining their functionality. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing these issues?

  After further investigation, it seems that not all programs are affected by the present. Google chrome, iTunes, Adobe Photoshop, and all work normally, but not Windows Explorer Microsoft office, the Task Manager, Control Panel, etc., that all work.
  Any help is appreciated.

• Lost all my tabs open with the last update

  I've updated Firefox with your last update of security and since then Firefox would freeze with a script error when I tried to go to one of my tabs. I followed the troubleshooting instructions and he created a "Old Data" folder in my office, but the new page of Firefox did not my tabs. How can I get back them? Can I cancel the update and return to the previous state of Firefox before the update?

  (edited to replace labels with tabs - c)

  Thank you all for trying to help. Here's what needs to be done to solve the problem when Firefox is installed on a mac. When you tried to reset your profile, note that there is a folder created in your desktop called 'Old Foxfire Data' or similar to this one. It contains all the data that has been cleaned up in the new profile. Delete the Firefox application and download a new application of Foxfire. Then launch Firefox. When open go in the tab 'Help', above. It's the last of them. Once you click on help, then click on "troubleshooting information. The first section is called "Basic application". In this section, click on the tab "show in Finder". It will display your profile folder. It starts with a letter and then a bunch of numbers and letters. But it will contain '.default' and some other figures. Now go to the first folder in your office called old data Foxfire and open it. Note that it will also have a similar profile folder. Open it and go to this folder copy all 80 more files. Now go to the new profile folder, open it and paste all files in this folder from backup profile to the profile folder. Click Yes to replace all the files that you paste into the new profile folder. That's all. Close, close and restart Firefox. You will have all your history, bookmarks and any label that you had open before the crash. Also, I say stop mac and restarted the computer, so that all possible conflicts would be eliminated. PS: The deletion of your profile folder and paste the old folder in its place it will not work! You need to replace all of the files in the new folder with the files from your profile in the old data folder.

• How can I stop firefox from opening a tab in Tools/Options

  Firefox 38.0.1

  Suddenly instead of an open box now I have an open tab when I go in Tools/Options - how can I recover the box and the aperture stop tab, I'd rather be able to see my tab running below the box in Tools/Options, and now I can't. This makes things very difficult.

  Hi, FredMcD advice is what you need: you can return to the old window Options by: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.preferences.inContent and double-click on it to change the "value" from true to False, taking care to not to change what anyone else. You will then need to restart Firefox.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• Menu from the top (minimize/maximize/close buttons) is missing

  In the view of the main Thunderbird Inbox, all above the tabs is missing. It is transparent, but the area is still part of the Thunderbird window and clicking it keeps the focus in this window. I'm under 24.3.0. I met two possible fixes for this (was related to themes, but I use the original theme, the other was to hit toggle full screen - in my case, F11 appears to be disabled or broken), but have not been able to solve the problem. I'm running Windows 7 Pro SP1, x 64

  For anyone else knows this bug (Matt, it's a bug - almost all Windows apps should have at least a red 'X' button close and Thunderbird is without expection), the problem was solved when I updated to 24.4.0 (Win 7 SP1)

  Thank you for taking the time to respond, guigs2 and Matt.

  Note that a very similar question is continued here:
