Hi there, every now and then when i maximixe or minimize a window. The top of the window is above the screen so I am unable to see the tabs or anything above the address bar, is the a way to minimize using the menu, or a configuration file I can alter to stop it going above the top of the screen. It's a pain having to restart the system / firfox when you have a handfull of tabs open while researching and then having to remember which sites you had open to reopen them. thanks

Use the F11 key or move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen.

I am using Ubuntu 12.0.4 with various versions of Firefox installed, I think that works with them all.

You can try to open the system menu via Alt+space if you do not see the title bar and thus can not move the window.

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
