When minimizing firefox to smaller size, [maximize,minimize,close] buttons are not visible.

Is it a bug? [Alt-space-x can maximize the window] but why the buttons are not visible?

I was able to reproduce the problem on [http://nightly.mozilla.org/ Nightly] so I went ahead and filed [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761594 bug 761594].
Thanks on reporting this and helping make Firefox better =)

Maximize/Minimize/Close buttons are all greyed out

Hello. Ever since a few days ago, the green, yellow, and red maximize/minimize/close buttons at the top left of every window have all been greyed out. They're all still completely usable and they do what you would expect them to do...there's just no color in them anymore. This is happening for all applications.
I'm not really sure what's causing this. I don't remember exactly when it stopped working or what happened right before it, but it may have started happening right after my computer shut down, possibly from overheating (My friend was trying to be funny and opened the application window in finder and then pressed Cmd+a followed by Cmd+o --- To open all of my applications. We watched it chugging along for a while and then the screen just went black and the computer turned off). I don't know if that would cause the problem, I'm not really sure why it would.
I tried a google search but came up empty handed. Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

No problem at all! Do remember to check the smallest things first before thinking that it is a big thing.

My Minimize, Maximize, and Close Buttons are not functional in Firefox 13.0.1

I recently downloaded Firefox 13.0.1.. For the past several days the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons located in the top right hand corner have been non functional almost immediately upon starting a browser session. I have tried disabling plugins with no success. I have experienced the same problem when running safe mode. I have attempted to disable hardware accelerators. I have even tried resetting to default settings.. For the record
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with 2 GB of RAM as well as Norton Antivirus.. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi rosmaninho
Can you please start a new thread for your question?
Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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 or otherwise make changes.

Maximize Minimize Close buttons missing

Using Firefox 3.6.10 with Ubuntu. Maximize, minimize, and close buttons seem to have disappeared. Went to View and Navagation is checked. Also went to customize to reset to original. Neither have worked. Buttons are still not there.

F11 key - I hit it once and it cured the problem.

Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons are invisible

I have rather werid problem with Firefox since yesterday. Mainly the three buttons at the top corner are invisible. I can still click on them but I cannot see them, as if they are obscured by upper tab.
I tried to launch Firefox in safe mode and I use standart theme. If I restart the computer it is fine, but once I close firefox and then open it again( or even if I just open new window) problem returns.

If you use a non standard windows theme or made other appearance changes then try to revert those changes and use a (different) standard theme or Windows wallpaper.
* Control Panel > Personalization > Theme & Window Color and Appearance
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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

Minimize / restore / close buttons are not themed on Windows 8.1

Hi, I use latest version of Firefox, I'm running Windows 8.1 64
After i installed theme, my top right buttons (close etc..) are not themed but have default window color, it's a little annoying and i'm not the only one who have this trouble.

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:
* https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-desktop-window-decorations-changed/b1abd464-8a7f-43fa-ae56-849a974eddd1
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.

Minimize, Maximize, and close buttons are missing and nothing fixes the problem. What can I do next to fix this problem?

I use windows 7. These buttons work but invisible. I saw someone on this forum that had the same problem but he uses xp so I think his solution will not work for me. Please, someone help me.

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. 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 [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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

How to Remove maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view [MAC]?

Hi.
My Q. is pretty much as the title implies.
It's a small thing, and maybe kind of trivial,
but I'd like to know how to get rid of the maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view in Adobe Reader on the Mac.
I am definitely in fullscreen view [I hit command+L], just so you know,
but I still have that top grey bar showing with the maximize/minimize/close buttons [the red, yellow, and green].
As I said, kind of a trivial concern, but I'd like to know how to hide that in full-screen mode.
I tried searching around a few places for an answer, but there is nothing too obvious.
I can't find anything in the full-screen preferences of reader either. Maybe I'm missing something...
Thanks!

Version 11.0 , so I guess that is the most recent?
I think this is an application-specific problem too, because I don't encounter this in full-screen mode with other applications.

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. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(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. 
''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.

Minimize, maximize and close button when there is no border

Hi all. I have created a login page that has no border around it. Is it possible to get the minimize, maximize and close buttons in the top right hand corner but inside the actual form?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
If you are working with ASP.NET Web Application, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

Even in Safe Mode, minimize, restore, and close buttons are missing, though the functions remain, and a dialog box now comes up when opening FF.

Ever since I installed the latest Firefox update, the minimize, restore, and close buttons are visually missing, though their functions are still present.
I have also started to have one of those dialog boxes asking whether or not I would like to allow a program to make changes to my PC come up when I open Firefox.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

How to relocate the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons on the window

I am a right-hand user, and would prefer if all my Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons on the window are relocated to the right hand side of the window. Anyone got any suggestion to do it ?

This is just something you end up getting used to, at least it was the case for me.
It is not possible to move this, without the help of third-party software.
ShapeShifter is offers customisation of the look of the Windows, but I don't know if it can move the buttons.

But I don't know if it is compatible with Leopard yet.
