My Firefox has lost all its application frame, and toolbars. It basically looks like an extremely zoomed in borderless window, and whenever I zoom in or out, everything is locked into the top right corner. Nothing is displayed properly. I reinstalled it, and that did not change. I looked at my Macintosh accessibility settings, nothing is changed there. Please look at the screenshot.

Chosen solution

I erased the entire Firefox applications support folder. Then using Activity Monitor, force quit Firefox. Then restarted the computer. That solved it.

Try to rename/remove xulstore.json and when present delete localstore.rdf in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

That did not fix it at all. I will try completely removing all the Firefox stuff and reinstalling. Thanks.
