No close, restore and minimize buttons when Firefox 4 is maximized with Win 7 Aero

Since upgrading to FF 4.0, I have had some weird behaviour with the top taskbar, transparency, and close/restore/minimize.
When I maximize the FF window, I see the top sectino ofthe application window (with FF menu), then address bar, then bookmarks toolbar, then tabs. In the top taskbar, however, there is not close/restore/minimize section at the top right. Clicking or mousing over doesn't change anything in that area. I can restore or minimize the window using keyboard shortcuts (alt-space > r, etc.).
Is this by design? If so, it's a bit annoying to no longer have one-click access to these common window operations.
Maybe a separate issue and maybe not: When I restore the window down to a non-maximized size, the Aero transparency behind the top section as well as the address bar go away -- I get an ugly black background instead. Also, still no close/restore/minimize.
Not sure if these issues are a failure to fully comply with Aero, or a bug, or just a misguided feature..
I have tried resetting everything in FF to defaults, and, also disabled add-ons like Synch, Awesome screenshot, ReaditLater, and Xmarks which have their own buttons.
Looking forward to your input.

Any news on this.
I think it has something to do with the add on : Tabgroups manager.
If i disable this add on then everything works normally.
Also when this add on is enabled my tabs are always below adress bar ,no matter what.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Here is how to go to the default theme in case you don't know how to.
    1. Press '''ALT''' to reveal the menu bar
    2. Go to '''Addons, Themes''' and enable '''Default Theme''' to reveal your Buttons.

    Hello,
    Unfortunately I believe you will actually need to change your whole Windows desktop theme in order to change those buttons. Perhaps this link can help you:

    EDIT: The relevant part might be:
    * Right click the Desktop and select Personalize.
    * In the top Themes section scroll down and click Get more Themes online.

  • Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

    Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything.  Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously.  Has anyone had this problem?  I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!

    Hi n_man2000,
    You need to move your mouse to the top of the screen and then click the
    Close button in the title bar.
    For more information about how to close an APP in Windows 8.1, please check:

  • How do I get my Close, Minimise and Maximise Buttons to Show

    When I first installed Photoshop CS6 Extended on my Mac it had a bar running along the top that had the program name in it (Photoshop) with the red, orange and green, close, minimise and maximise buttons in it.
    Somehow I have turned this off and the three buttons no longer show. Below is an example picture of the bar I'm wanting to turn on:
    I have the application frame turned on and they still do not show. I'm sure the answers simple, however any help would be hugely appreciated.

    Would this help solve the following issue:
    Like most people, I work with most of the CS6 programs open at the same time.  If I tweak a graphic from Photoshop and then return to Illustrator or InDesign to see how the updated graphic will appear, my usual mode of doing so would be to hit "Command-W" to close the Photoshop window/work environment/application frame - or whatever one calls it.  Then, I'd click on the program beneath to see the update occur.  In CS5, that worked just fine.  Command-W and Photoshop was out of the way.  With CS6, I hit Command-W and the opaque application frame/workspace is still there and I can't seem to get it out of the way without using Control/Comman/M.  I figure that I'm missing something rather elementary.  The new GUI of Illustrator and Photoshop is bad enough (flat Windows mess) without this little annoyance.
    Thanks.
    PS: Well, it was my "minimized" brain.  I had "Application Frame" selected in the Window menu.
    PPS: the GUI is still Windows-Ugly.  Any ideas?

    How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog. I have an application which has JDialog box, but in that i should not have maximize and minimize button.If any one come across this problem and got a solution please helpout me.

    Btw, isn't it a little strange to ask thisquestion...
    Actually, I thought it was meant to be sardonic...
    Dialogs don't have those buttons, so the question
    n should be to the OP how did he/she get them in the
    first place? Cuz they aren't using JDialog to do it,
    unless it's something to do with a specific look &
    feel.I somehow missed that, good point :-)

    Hi bubbles213,
    The best way to move information from one iOS device to another is to back up the device using iCloud or iTunes (or both), and then restoring the new device from it.  This article will walk you through the steps:

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.  It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing.  Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app.  I also tried syncing wirelessly.  Also unsuccessful.  I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed.  Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

    See

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
