Why is the Firefox button causing my minimize/maximize/close buttons to seperate?

I recently updated to FF5 and I noticed that my minimize/maximize/close buttons on the title bar have a separation between them and the only way to make it return to normal is to start in safe mode. It is not caused by an extension alone but by the FF button. Is anyone else having this problem? It is kind of annoying.

Hmm, it worked on a "Basic" Windows 7 theme, but I can't see a way to move the buttons on an "Aero" theme.

Why doesnt the Firefox Button show for my Computer which is a Windows?

My Firefox is the latest version yet i do not have the Firefox Button. I have the old fashion File, Edit, View, etc. options on the top of my page.
''Locking as duplicate, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932725]''

On Windows XP the default setup is to show the old style menus, but you can easily switch to using the Firefox button instead. In the View menu select Toolbars, then click the "Menu Bar" entry to deselect it.

Why do the minimize, maximize, & close buttons in the top right corner disappear (turn to a black void) unless FF is maximized?

I am running Windows 7 on my new laptop. When I bought it back in August, I installed Firefox version 5 (I think) Now that I have updated to version 6, the minimize, maximize, & close buttons in the top right corner disappear when the window is not maximized. It becomes a black space where the buttons should be.

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

I don't have the Firefox button feature on my browser. The one above the back button.Why not?

I've downloaded Firefox 4 on both hard drives and the Firefox button feature that is suppose to be located above the back button is not there on either browsers! This feature is mentioned first on the "Getting Started" tutorial and I'd like to have it. How do I get it to appear?

Usually you have either the orange Firefox button or the classic menu bar, but not both at the same time.
You should be able to switch back and forth this way:
If the classic menu bar is not displayed, tap the Alt key to display it and then use
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
to make it persistent. It should replace the orange Firefox button. To switch back, uncheck
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
Does that work??
Also, the Mozilla ActiveX plugin is defunct and should be uninstalled ASAP. It isn't reliable above Firefox 1.5, and may have unpatched security problems. [http://kb.mozillazine.org/ActiveX#Uninstalling_the_ActiveX_plugin_on_Windows How to uninstall].

Why isn't the Firefox button right at the top anymore?

When I was running the beta builds (up to B8), the Firefox button was right at the top right of the windows (as it is supposed to be). After updating to FF4B9 (and on), the button is displayed here: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w111/troop172/FF4.png
I have tried to uninstall/reinstall FF but it doesn't fix the problem.
I am currently running FF4GM

*There is now one large urlbar container that contains the location bar and the Back and Forward buttons and the combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is located at the right end of the location bar.
*This urlbar container is locked to its position on the Navigation Toolbar and can't be moved.
*This change also has the consequence that you can no longer hide the Navigation Toolbar, so you do not see this bar in the right-click context menu of the toolbar area that shows which toolbars to show or hide.
Firefox 29 and later versions have the Australis interface that looks different than the user interface in Firefox 28 and older versions.
*With the Australis interface the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three bar Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar A consequence of this new menu button is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu
*It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the the Bookmarks menu
You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

Why can't I found the Firefox Button?

In this article ([http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/features/#feature-firefox-bottom firefox 4 beta features]), it is stated that there is a "Firefox Button" at the top left corner, but I can't find it ! I only find usual Firefox icon with this page's title.
My computer is running on Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I install Firefox 4 beta 4 without uninstalling Firefox 3.

The Firefox button will be displayed if the menu bar is hidden. In the main menus select "View", then "Toolbars" to display a list of toolbars, then click on "Menu Bar" to hide the menu bar.

Why doesn't my new install of Firefox 4.0 have the "Firefox button" which is prominently advertised on the site as a huge advantage?

I installed 4.0 the other day, and the very first change advertised in the features video is a "Firefox button" (it's orange) that supposedly has all my menus within it. I still have all my menus and no Firefox Button.

The Firefox button isn't shown by default for Windows XP. If you want to use it, go to the View menu, down to toolbars and uncheck Menu Bar.

I am unable to find the Firefox button referred to in the following: At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options

Every instruction Mozilla offers to find or to do something contains a term or a phrase that is indeciphrable.
I have been trying to change "Cookie Settings" so of course Mozilla advises me to click the Mozilla button at the top of the page. And of course there is no Mozilla button at the top of the page. Then after wading through Mozilla's arcane and moronic help sections I end up at the following:
Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar.
Why don't I see it? (the Firefox button)
Apparently the Firefox button is a new feature added in Firefox 4 to replace the Menu Bar. The menu bar is displayed instead of the Firefox button to make Firefox look like other Windows XP programs. Windows XP? Are you kidding me? Windows XP. Earth to Mozilla: Have you heard of Windows 8 or Windows 8.1?
Then your instructions go on to refer to Windows Vista and Windows 7. JFC!
Then, under "How to get it?" Mozilla offers the following gem:
Right click on an empty section of the "Tab Strip" and uncheck "Menu Bar" om the pop-up menu.
WHAT IS A TAB STRIP; and WHERE IS THE TAB STRIP? Again, JFC!
Since these instructions refer to Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, apparently these instructions haven't been upgraded for more than 2 years. No wonder Mozilla is a non-profit organization. There is no way that this organization could ever be profitable under any other structure.

I have java installed and properly working as a plug in. Why can I not get into Yahoo games and play Card Games? Where is the firefox button when I have the browser open? Only button that looks like anything for firefox allows me to restore, move, size, minimize, maximize, and close. That button is top left hand corner location.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles. 
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

I went to your website to find out how to set up Firfox as my default browser but when I click on the Firefox button it doesn't say options.

When I click on the Firefox logo in the top left corner it only says Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize and Close. Please help.

hello, go to ''view > toolbars'' & un-ckeck the menubar - then you'll get the default layout with the firefox button on the top left of the window...

I can't see "the firefox button" - where is it???

In the starting-up info website, there is an orange firefox button in the top left space of the browser, but on my browser there is none - from this button you can do a lot of the cool things on firefox, but why don't I have it? Is there a way I can add it? Did my browser upload wrong??? Please help.

The Firefox button is a cut down version of the menus. Though you do not have the new interface, you will still have the other new features of Firefox 4.

Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ")

Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ") (from article).
The "Tools" menu has an "Options" selection, but I cannot find in any of those menus a selection controlling the location of the tabs. Where is the "Firefox Button" referred to in the article "Why are tabs on Top?"

If you turn on the classic menu bar, that replaces the orange Firefox button. To get the Firefox button back, right-click the menu bar to display the toolbars list, and uncheck Menu Bar.
You can always temporarily display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.
The toolbar list pop-up also lets you control Tabs on Top.

Everytime I click on the down arrow on the firefox button firefox fills my monitor screen. How do I stop this as it did not happen in the past

Had to uninstall and reinstall firefox several times as something was trying to take it over. The only way I stopped it in the end was to go back to a restore point on my computer. Anyway, before I had this problem I had firefox leave a border down the right side of my screen. Now it is okay when I start firefox, border in place, but as soon as I click the down arrow on the firefox button for anything firefox covers the whole screen. How can I stop this?
