Running FF3.6.8 on Windows 7, 3 window buttons not in top right hand corner ( minimize, maximize and exit) . how do i get these to appear ?

when FF 3.6.8 loads it loads everything except the the classic window buttons (minimize, maximize and exit ) do not appear in the top right hand corner as the normally would. it seems as though the page has been cut off or the monitor screen is to little for the whole page to load.

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

  • Today each time I use the minimise button in the top right hand corner of the window in order to mininmise it it completely disappears instead of being "parked" on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen ready to be maximised. How can I fix this?

  • How to move the Firefox 'close window' x icon to the right-hand corner?

    I've just been given the option to upgrade my Ubuntu Linux (from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx). Although the updated colour scheme and Fire fox look great, one annoyance is that the 'close window' X-icon has moved from the right-hand corner to the left-hand corner.
    As a right-handed person, my mouse pointer drifts over to the right-hand side of windows, so moving this icon from the right corner to the left corner doesn't make sense to me, as a right-handed person (~90% of the world are right-handed?).
    I know that there's almost definitely a keyboard shortcut for 'close window' but I would like to see the 'Close window' 'x' back in the right-hand corner, or an option/preference to put it back where it always used to be! (as far as I know...).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I upgraded Firefox to 3.6.3 as part of Ubuntu upgrade from KK to LL release. Think I might have been running an older 3.6.x version of Firefox prior to this.

    This problem is not particular to Firefox but rather a design scheme that is applied to all programs running Lucid Lynx.
    Solution 1.
    Go to System > Preferences > Appearance. Choose a Theme that has the right orientation rather than the left.
    Solution 2.
    Open up a Terminal and run this snippet to move everything to the right again:
    gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close

  • Hi, in almost every other browser, when i save a document or attach a file in my gmail i have a search bar in the top right hand corner of the window pane that opens. Does Firefox do this?

    for example, those of you running windows, if you key;
    start/computer/C drive you will notice a search bar in tope right hand corner. Can this happen in Firefox.

    Go to this address: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?country=AU
    Item 24 lists 3 installable major search engines for Australia.
    You can also restrict your search in Google by including ''country:au'' or ''location:au'' or ''city:perth'' (for example) in your search terms. Example: ''city:sydney plumbers'' in the Google search box will list plumbers in cities named sydney.

  • Update available window upper right hand corner of desktop and won't close

    '''Firefox 3.6.13 available
    get the new version...'''
    update available window has parked itself on my desktop and won't close

    Here's my suggestion:
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Cellular (where you would turn on cellular data if you could).
    You can actually scroll that menu down a bit so the "Cellular Data" button is not necessarily in the far upper right corner of the screen.  Hopefully you can scroll it down far enough that you can successfully set it.

  • The search box in top right hand corner of the firefox window has disappeared.

    Search box has just disappeared. Everything else seems to be as per normal. Don't know what I did to make it disappear but it has and I can't figure out how to get it back.

    Hello,
    # Try restore the Firefox layout to default.
    # Go to Menu bar(Press Alt or F10 to show).

  • Every once in a while, a black box will cover the windows minimize, maximize, and close buttons, and then I can't minimize firefox quickly or easily.

    After a bunch of browsing, a black window takes over the windows caption bar and covers the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. When this happens, I can't close firefox except by accessing the firefox menu. And there is no way to minimize or maximize the window.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Sometimes a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear.

    Sometimes, after its been going quite a long time. a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear, making it impossible to resize or close the window. The only solution I have found is to individually move the tabs to a new window. The original (bad) one then disappears as soon as the final tab is shifted.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Window Goes Off-Screen When Mouse arrow Is Moved To Upper Right Hand Corner

    It seems like this happened recently. When the mouse is moved and pointed to the upper right hand corner of the screen everything displayed goes off-screen to the right and left sides. The edge of the window is shown on the right side and a shadow on the left side- when I click on those everything pops back on-screen. I have a bad habit of moving my mouse quickly and this has become annoying.
    I thought it may have been a "Hot Corner" but I checked and this feature is not enabled(in Expose/Dashboard)
    How do I disable this feature?
    Thank you in advance.
    Steve

    Hello Steve:
    It definitely sounds like the hot corner "all windows" is enabled. There is a preference file that needs to be trashed, but I cannot figure out which one (no help to you).
    Be sure that none of the hot corners are enabled and then restart.
    You might also try resetting PRAM (although I do not think that will do anything).

  • I am adding new photos to my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad.  how can i get these photos to sync

    I am adding new photos to  my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad when I sync the Ipad.  How can I get these photos into my Ipad?

    Skydiver.
    you and I know that your answer works because that is how I sync my ipad.  I don't have a mac, just a PC with itunes. Now this guy might not even have itunes and is using Windows Media Player or something like that.
    Or maybe he just do not want his problem fixed.  I read these forums and too many of the questions are just way beyond basic computer knowledge, but it seems to happen that they can never resolve a very simple problem.  It makes me wonder if people just post bogus stuff.
    I would like to see registration to the forums attached to the product serial number of the forum you are posting to.  I bet you that the posts would drop dramatically.
