Maximize/minimize and close buttons do not work properly

Suddenly the buttons at the top right are not working properly. There is no change in appearance when hovering the mouse over it. This does not occur immediately after I open firefox but shortly afterwards. I noticed by accident that if I open the options box and close it again these buttons will work for a while. It also applies to dialogue boxes that open up as well. I did not add any plugins, but I do believe there was a recent update for firefox installed. Thanks

Thanks, however I am on release 18.0. I am not quite sure yet but I think the problem may have solved itself. Since I first posted if happened a few times but nothing over the past couple of hours so perhaps the issue resolved itself. I'll repost if it does. Thanks again

  • Missing maximize, minimize and close buttons

    I see that people have been having problems with these issues before the finalized FF4, I have the most updated version on my PC. The answers all seem to say it was a problem with beta versions. When I stay online for long periods of time my full screen, minimize and close buttons disappear. I have 2 screens and have found that when I pull a tab to the other screen the buttons reappear with that tab. But all the tabs still on previous screens are still missing. If I pull the whole set of tabs (opened together) I still can not get the buttons to reappear. when I am ready to close all the open tabs at once I use task manager and close down FF4. Right now I see my background screen where the button should be.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    You can also try a different Windows theme.

  • When I start it up it shows two two nested windows on the screen, has a Firefox yellow tab in the corner, does not display the toolbar bookmarks, the back and forth buttons do not work and there is no page refresh. No clue what is going on.

    Every time I open up Firefox it appears to open two nested and linked windows, each with their own minimize, maximize and close buttons but the both work the same. The homepage does not come up, the back and forth buttons do not work. Both the refresh button and F5 do not work. The Bookmark Toolbar does not show up until I disable it in View and then re-enable it and this causes the outer nested window to disappear or close.

    This issue can be caused by an extension or theme that isn't working properly.
    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 > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

    I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • Volume and mute buttons do not work. no ringtone

    Volume and Mute buttons do not work. Ringtones and alerts all silent. Sound working for music etc...

    Sounds like you have a speaker fault and the phone would normally require servicing. But seeing as you have had the screen replaced, you will not be able to do this via the Genius Bar.
    You will probably need to go back to the place where you got the screen replaced and ask them to look at the speaker for you.

  • The forward, back, refresh, and stop buttons are not working. Even after installing the latest version. Anyone else having this issue?

    The forward, back, refresh, and stop buttons are not working. Even after installing the latest Firefox update. Also my home page stopped loading upon startup even tho I have it setup to do so. Anyone else experiencing these issues? This is my second request for help and of course, Firefox on-line support is always closed.

    Those are all symptoms of a problem with the places.sqlite file, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

  • My Ipod nano 6Th sometimes shuts down when I connect the phones, sometimes it not shuts down, but the volume and standby buttons do not work.

    My Ipod nano 6Th sometimes shuts down when I connect the phones, sometimes it not shuts down, but the volume and standby buttons do not work. If I not connect the phones everything works fine. But with the phones connected it goes crazy. I alredy reset, restore and nothing. If I reset and let the phones connect the up and down volumes buttons start to work. But the power/stand by button don´t. I need to disconect the phones to the power/stand by button starts  to works. Anyone already have simmilar problem?

    A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
    let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
    Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
    drwtsn32 -i
    And hit return.
    This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
    prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
    Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Speaker and main button does not work

    My iphone suddenly fall down and after my speaker and main button is not working. other things are ok. So how can I fix this hardware problem?

    Send it to a Apple Store to request for repairs.
    Or restart the iPhone and see if the home button will work again. It could be that the OS is not detecting it or is not responding.

  • Tab and control buttons do not work in Firefox (they work in other browsers) AND I switched to a new keyboard.

    The tab and control buttons are not working the Firefox browser (My browser is up-to-date). The buttons work in IE and Chrome, however, before I realized that, I even switched out my keyboard to a brand new one hoping it would solve the issue.

    Thank you--there were a few random extensions I had not added (spyware, maybe?). Once I removed those the issue was fixed!

  • TS3274 the sleep and wake button can not work

    2.You press home button to RESTART ipad?? what home button? the one at the bottom of the screen or at the top?

    Changing your password won't help. It is a touchscreen so if 7,8,9 are not working then that part of the screen will not work if you were to get it unlocked.
    TeeKnows is right. You need to contact Apple for a repair.
