Sometimes, when I hit Ctrl+F, the find bar doesn't come up all the way. I have to exit out of it, go into full screen, enable it, then exit out of full screen. It may have something to do with the add-on bar. I attached a screenshot.

Also, I just typed out this whole ticket and when I clicked submit, it said "Access Denied." I think this is becuase I created an account, started the ticket, confirmed my account, then submitted the ticket. It's obviously a session error if this goes through. I bet that's happened to a lot of people.

Chosen solution

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.

  • Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
  • Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.

If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Yes I think it was just an issue with my resolution and changing monitors. Thank you.
