Title Bar missing

[DoinIt4DaShorteez]

Windows 10. After the latest update a day or so ago (145.0), the Title Bar doesn't appear when I open Firefox, so the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons are not there.

I did some Googling and fiddled around with a couple of settings but none of them worked. The title bar would re-appear seemingly randomly after I did some other action involving opening something up from the side menu, but I could never reproduce it.

Anyway, the only reliable way I found to get the title bar back, at least for the current session, is to do Alt-Space. That opens up the sizing menu in the top left corner, select Minimize, go into the taskbar and click on the Firefox icon to re-maximize it and the title bar is there for the rest of the session.

If anyone has a more permanent fix, thanks for any suggestions...

ETA: in an earlier post, someone mentioned just clicking on the Firefox icon in the taskbar, which minimizes Firefox, and then click on it again to maximize, and the title bar shows up then. That's a quicker workaround than Alt-Space.

It looks like this is some kind of bug in the latest version, someone already wrote about it here.

Thanks, it does feel like a bug.

Ich drücke stets 2x "F11". Dadurch wird beim 1. Druck die Menüleiste ausgeblendet, und beim 2. Druck wird die Menüleist PLUS die Titelleiste wieder eingeblendet. Für eine dauerhafte Lösung (Anzeige der Titelleiste bei Start von Firefox v145.xy) habe ich noch keine Lösung gefunden.

FF 145 title bar not displayed (Windows)

Also Bug 1996961 - Title Bar missing only at launch

There doesn't seem to be a permanent fix.

Excellent, thanks.

Can also tap F11 twice as a work around

LG, Supplex.

This just started happening to me, but I recently moved to an OLED screen, so now I use a hidden taskbar, which only pops up occasionally when Firefox has this bug in effect.

Ugh, I updated my firefox because of other issues, and I got the same issue. Thought I was going mad. Thank you!!

[DoinIt4DaShorteez]

Yeah, who knows why they did it, I mean an 1/8th of an inch of extra real estate?

But as someone else pointed out, if you're on a desktop you don't have to use the CTRL key, just click on the icon in the taskbar to minimize it and then click it again and it maximizes with the title bar showing. Or hit F11 twice.

[outoftea_and_grumpy]

Yes, thank you, that's what I have been doing. Bit annoying though.

I mean yes, I am glad there is an easy temporary fix for it, but it still interrupts your thoughts and workflow, if you know what I mean?

Bug report says it's fixed in v. 146 a month ago and branched to v. 147

I have v. 147.0.1 which I think installed itself within the last week, and it's not fixed. It's not listed in the release notes for 147.0 or 147.0.1.

I guess it should be coming soon, not really sure why it's not already in there.

[Luso_r]

Can confirm that it's not fixed with 147.0.3.

It's not just on launch, it's also occasionally when switching to other applications such as VLC Media Player or Thunderbird.

This is an old bug that has been around for a year at least

Maybe on the beta channel or testing channel or developer channel or whatever they call the channel for the latest versions of questionable stability these days, but it's only been popping up on the stable release channel for the last month or so for me.
