Firefox has no title-bar/border in emerald & compiz fusion [SOLVED]

I am running compiz-fusion in gnome with emerald as the window decorator and everything is working fine apart from firefox. When it starts up it has no title-bar or window border and appears to be in full screen mode (since nothing else is visible) but actually isn't. I have absolutely no experience working with window managers and am clueless as to what the problem could be.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks

I've also found myself facing the same behaviour of the firefox window; I got bored of the F11 x2 workaround, and tried to start firefox from the terminal, to see if there were any strange error message.
Magically, it started with the correct size, not covering anything it should not.
And now it always open correctly from the usual launcher.
Maybe it can be another way to try... for me it worked.

  • CS4 - No title bar in Windows 7 64 bit

    A couple of weeks ago I installed CS4 64 bit in the 64-bit beta of Windows 7. All I did was open it, look at it, do a bit of minimal adjustment to the Prefs, open a couple of photos and pretend to edit them.
    I opened it 2 days ago, and it was still fine. It Photoshop had a standard Windows 7 Aero title bar.
    Today it has no title bar, just a bit of space above the menu line. Bridge still has a title bar, however.
    I've trashed my prefs; no good. Trashed them, rebooted. No good.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I've got egg on my face. The reason I don't have a title bar is (quoting from a CS4 review), 'There’s no longer a title bar to consume extra screen real estate unnecessarily.' !
    I must have been running it maximized before yesterday, and didn't notice the 'no title bar' phenomenon.
    After reading Steve's post, I googled harder and found the answer.
    Sorry for taking up bandwidth. (On the other hand, if I hadn't seen that Steve, using Vista not 7, had the same, er, feature, I might have gone through a horrid cycle of reinstalling etc.; so posting did help me!)

  • Title Bar Captions in OHJ

    Though a window title [<wintype><title>] is specified in our .hs files it is not used as the title bar caption when our OHJ is opened docked. Instead the caption of 'Help Navigator' is used.
    If the OHJ is opened undocked the Help Navigator has a title bar caption of 'Help Navigator' and the Help Topic has a title bar caption as specified in our .hs file. If the Navigator and topic are subsequently docked the title bar caption reverts to 'Help Navigator'.
    Is there any way to specify a title bar caption to be used when OHJ is docked thereby replacing the 'Help Navigator' caption?
    Thanks in advance,
    Graham.

    Sorry, Graham. There's no way to change the title from Help Navigator for the situation you've described.

  • How do I remove the title bar from a Palm PDA front panel?

    On several PDA screens, I need all the real esate I can get. The title bar chews up a lot of it.  Is there any way, in the vi settings or programmatically, that I can remove the title bar?
    I've already tried the obvious step of unchecking "window has a title bar" in the window appearance catagory of the vi properties.  No apparent effect is seen.

    Hello,
    It sounds like you are referring to the GUI actually on your Palm devices.  I believe on Palm devices all applications have a title bar, and there isn't a way to get rid of it.  My guess is that perhaps this is a feature you can enable/disable as a Palm OS setting, or may simply be the way the Palm has defined its user interface.  If you have your Palm devices handy, check out the display settings to see any has an option to remove the title bars in general.  If you find out either way, definitely repost so the community can find the answer here as well!
    Thank you,
    Best Regards,

  • Custom title bar

    Hi All!
    How do I add my own title bar to a JFrame?
    I have managed to remove the default one. but I cannot figure out how to add a custom one.
    I also want to place it above the JMenuBar so adding it to the content pane will not help.
    Any advise will be welcomed.
    Thanks,
    SIJP

    My Look and feel is working just fine.
    my problem is that I can do two things:
    if I add the default title bar my l&f has two title bars and if I choose to make my look and feel have one title bar the windows L&F has no title bar at all.

  • After installing the add-on compatability add-on, Firefox will no longer load web pages or allow me to enter anything in the address bar and has added an additional title bar at the top of the page.

    When I open Firefox now, instead of opening up the standard Mozilla start page, it simply opens up a new tab page. Typing in the address bar and then hitting enter results in the address bar being cleared and the page staying the same. Attempting to send feedback via the add-on just opens another new, blank tab. For some odd reason, the Windows title bar has also come back above the orange Firefox button and the tabs.
    I am unable to access the add-ons page to uninstall the add-on compatibility add-on to see if that will solve my problem and I have tried uninstalling the beta and reinstalling it, but the problem still remains.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Firefox 4 beta 1/2 dont have the window title bar

    If i choose to hide the menu bar, I can see the orange "firefox" button but there is no windows title bar that has the min, max, and X buttons. Like this title bar is cleanly chopped off.
    However running firefox as admin doesn't have this issue.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after installation

    Are you using a persona?
    See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574833 - Installing Persona theme completely covers the caption buttons

  • Why do the title bar on Firefox and taskbar on Windows 7 leave distorted image when a list of bookmark folders crosses either one ?

    I use lots of folders in my bookmarks list. I have noticed that with both AMD and Nvidia based video cards, that if I am using a folder in my bookmarks list that has lots and lots of bookmarks, the list of bookmarks will cross both the title bar area of Firefox and the taskbar on Windows 7 at the bottom. When this happens, both the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom will leave images from the bookmark list that don't go away (unless I use F11 view fullscreen to clear away the image and restore to normal ). If I am using a Matrox video card, this doesn't happen. Why is this?

    Hey cor-el,
    Wow. That did it. You are a genius! Thank you, thank you. It's very important that I be able to use the folders with saved bookmarks feature for my business which I rely on daily.
    I unchecked the "use hardware acceleration feature" where you said it was in Firefox 9 browser and it resolved the problem immediately. I am using an Nvidia GS8400 video card. I was having the same problem on the new ATI/AMD video cards too (haven't tested though on ATI computer yet). My Matrox M9120 doesn't do that at all though. Do you have any idea why that is ? Is it a software conflict between Nvidia or AMD drivers and Firefox?
    One more question on your response solution, why do you recommend upgrading to current video card drivers since un-checking the "hardware acceleration" feature in Firefox works? The video card drivers on the disc that came with the card I am using were supplied by the manufacturer and released last year. Shouldn't that be good enough?

  • Removing JFrame title bar WITHOUT removing window border

    I've been searching for a while now, and the only solutions I found were just using
    frame.setUndecorated(true);But this also removes the window border, which removes the ability to resize the window.
    I need the title bar removed while still retaining the ability to resize the window.
    There has got to be some way to do this.

    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    class Testing
      public void buildGUI()
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.getLayeredPane().remove(f.getLayeredPane().getComponent(1));
        f.setSize(400,300);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
      public static void main(String[] args)
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){

  • Firefox title bar caption

    Firefox version: 30.0
    I need to set the Firefox title bar to "Anonymous Browsing".
    I've seen many add-ons that can do this on a per-user basis, but I am working with a multi-tenant corporate environment and need to lock it down globally.
    I'm aware of the mozilla.cfg file and have been searching the about:config page for options that would allow me to do this, but have come up empty-handed. Additionally, any documentation I've found online has been relevant to much, much older versions of Firefox (3.0, for example).
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Do you mean to start Firefox automatically in Private Browsing mode?
    Note that Firefox doesn't show that on the title bar if you run Firefox in permanent PB mode.
    mozilla.cfg:
    <pre>pref("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", true);</pre>
    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • Firefox has spontaneously decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and some menu bars have been messed up. How can I fix this?

    My Firefox has spontaneously (apparently) decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen (the margin is there, but it is blank), and some menu bars have been messed up. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of these changes is the fact that I have to use alt-tab to move from a Firefox session to another session.
    I can find no way to fix these problems. Can you help? Am I going to have to uninstall and re-install Firefox in order to get back to the default settings? If so, is there any way to preserve my bookmarks?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

  • Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 jumpy, window title bar pops in and out, window resizes.

    Question pretty much sums it up. Windows Title bar keeps flitting in and out, causing screen to jump. Concurrently, right and bottom window margins resize a bit smaller. No apparent rhyme or reason, but leads to a lot of bad mouse clicks. Unrelated to whether the bookmarks tab is open or not. Happens in safemode as well, and my theme is the default. I don't want a plug-in to fix this, I want Firefox 5.0 to behave properly on its own.

    The Views menu is only meant to view bookmarks in a different sort order (hence the name of that menu). It doesn't have any lasting effects.
