What has happened to the "More actions" menu button - the one that normally is in the upper left corner of windows (see the attached image)?

I have just installed a new PC, with Debian 12 and KDE (plasma 5.27.5); the other windows have this menu button, but not Firefox and Thunderbird. Is there a way to get it back, eg by moving the menu bar out of the title bar and back to where it used to be?

Hi jonzn4SUSE,

After digging and agonizing a good deal, I found the answers:

In Thunderbird, open the settings -> general, find 'Language & Appearance' and untick the 'Hide system window titlebar' option.

In Firefox, right click on the tab-bar, select 'Customise Toolbar'. At the very bootom in the left corner is a tick-box labeled 'Title Bar'. Tick it to see the normal title bar.

Looks more like a desktop / OS issue. There are times when that option is not there. Are you in your distro version of Firefox or Mozilla? Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release It shows for me on KDE6 on distro version and Mozilla. see screenshot Let me go to my laptop running KDE5.

On KDE5, I do see the issue in Nightly and Waterfox, but not Firefox. Interesting...
