Top edge of browser window

Hi,

When I installed Firefox the browser had a small edge at the top of the window, above the row of tabs, so that you can click, hold and drag the window to reposition. This is a pretty basic design element which allows you to move the window around by clicking and dragging.

For some reason, that small edge has now gone - the tabs extend to the very top of the browser/screen so that the only space on the window where I can click and drag the window is small square around the minimize/maximize/close icons in the top right corner.

Does anyone else have this problem?

It's a small thing but quite annoying because obviously I use two screens and move my Firefox browser around all the time. I just want the edge back so that I can manoeuver it more easily.

Thanks!

Could you attach a screenshot, to make your point clearer? I think I understand, but it would help :)

Somehow, the browser window was raised so that the edge is outside the viewing area. Have not seen that problem here in years.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved You may have corrupt xulstore.json or Localstore.rdf files.

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:

  • Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
  • Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data
    \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Search for the above files. Then rename or delete them. Restart Firefox.
