After a Firefox crash both it and Thunderbird show no title bar - how can I get it back?
The Firefox crash was a "not responding" error when all I had done was try to switch tabs. I could not get out of the program using Taskbar or Alt Tab and CtrlAltDel got nowhere so having given it time I just had to press the power switch. Since then most programs seem to be working as before but both Firefox and Thunderbird are running slow and without title bars. I can't find how to get them back. I hope you can help

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
While still in Safe Mode,

I see you updated the flash player. Did you also update Firefox to v50? Any reports using v50?
If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
- see if there are updates for your graphics drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
- disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

I;m really sorry but I am afraid I don't understand all this and it will take me far too long too sort. Thanks for trying and I will save the advice and call my local teckie to see what he can do to get everything - I suspect the problem goes beyond Mozilla - working as it should. Thanks to all for a great pair of products
