How do you restore a disappeared Top Menu in Thunderbird 24.4.0

I have Thunderbird under Ubunbtu in two Lenovo notebook computers. After the automatic update to version 17, the Top Menu disappeared from one computer. This is a quite annoying bug, as Thunderbird is always maximised, as there are no buttons to close or minimize, so Thunderbird completely covers over the menu buttons for the operating system.
With every update from version 18 to version 24 of Thunderbird, I hoped this bug would disappear, but it remains. Upgrading the Ubuntu operating system from version 12.04 to 12.10 to 13.10 to 14.10 made absloutely no difference. Thunderbird has no Top Menu and no Close or Minimise button.
Some said they stopped this bug by setting mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar to "false". It makes no difference to either computer setting this to either "true" or "false." One computer retains a Top Menu (Title bar" and the other never gets one. I am not using any themes, and I have many times compared EVERY setting between one thunderbird installations and the other, and there is no difference (except one has my email and the other has my wife's email.)

Can you provide a screenshot?

  • How do you restore your macbook to original settings?

    how do you restore your macbook to original settings?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    If you upgraded from an earlier version of OS X such as Snow Leopard, the procedure you want is not this one. Let me know.

  • How do you restore a password on a locked folder made in disk utility?

    how do you restore a password on a locked folder made in disk utility?

    Hello there, HoseDwellers.
    The following Knowledge Base article as a great step by step instructional on how to change the password for the account:
    OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    Resetting a user's password in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion
    Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.
    Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
    From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
    Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
    Select the name of the user whose password you want to change.
    Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
    Enter a new password in both the New Password and Verify fields, and add a Password Hint if desired.
    Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.This should get you taken care of.
    Remember, also, that you can restart the computer (you will be prompted to enter your administrator password) and this should log him out  so that when you log back in, you can then follow the above steps with success.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Bookmarks - how do you restore from backups?

    My bookmarks disappeared......... something happened while I was trying to copy old folders into the new User - and it made it disappear from my old user account!
    How do you restore the bookmarks from the BackUp on MobileMe iDisk, or even the one that is on my iPhone? Should still be there............
    everything says it's Syncing but the bookmarks don't seem to want to restore..........
    Thanks

    Hi
    Let's try a different approach as something odd has occurred with your iDisk.
    What is your "old folder" source? If it contains the HD>Users>Your User Account>Library>Safari folder, inside there you'll find bookmarks.plist. Move it to the same location on your computer, replacing the existing file.

  • How do you restore Lightbeam data

    How do you restore the .json file that Lightbeam saves when the "Save Data" button is selected? The Firefox browser (ver. 33) has become slow and I want to disable the blocked sites temporarily to see if that could be the problem. Thanks!

    I'm trying to determine whether I can restore the blocked sites in Lightbeam if I choose to reset Lightbeam to solve a slowness issue with my current Firefox browser, ver. 33. The json file that Lightbeam created when "Save Data" is selected does not include any other Firefox data to my knowledge, such as bookmarks and the like. If I restore the bookmarks etc. using the Mozilla instructions, will that also include the Lightbeam-created blocked sites? The list of blocked sites is extensive. Thanks for your help!
