Menu button on v29 keep clashing the Firefox

Installed v29 and notice couple of issues.

First, whenever I press the new menu button on the top right corner, it clashes/closes the Firefox (as if it's a close (X) button).

2nd thing I've notice is that with multiple tabs open on the last/bottom row, only half of the tabs are visible when the window is not on maximized screen.

I've upgraded from v28 and no other settings were touched except from the previous version. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop.

Can you please provide a screenshot of where you are clicking on the first issue, I would like to forward this to the team.

There is a drop menu next to the last tab that you can click on to drop a menu with the reset of the tabs.

This is good to hear that there are no settings that were changed.

Unfortunately, I revert back to v28. The drop down menu has 3 horizontal lines. I don't recall seeing minimized, maximized, and close button anywhere on the v29.

On and I should mention that the tabs are set to show on the bottom of the window/screen.

Were you using extensions or code in userChrome.css to make changes to the default appearance?


You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted or otherwise not working localstore.rdf file.

Ok, so Firefox automatically upgrade to v29.

First thing, the menu button (3 horizontal bars) is now working.

As to the tab issue, I've attached couple of screenshots. I'm using latest version of Tab Mix Plus to have the tabs on the bottom of the screen. As you can see from the screenshots, with the Menu Bar enabled, you can see the tabs. However, with the Menu Bar disabled, you'll see that the tabs are only half visible. Not sure if this is Tab Mix Plus or Firefox bug.

PS...This only happens when I customized the size of the screen. This issue doesn't happen on a full (maximized) screen.

So, as of now, looks like enabling the Menu Bar is a work around.

Ya, let's tell Tab Mix plus about this? It looks like a UI conflict.

Try their forum as well: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/

Yes, I've posted a question regarding the tab issue in tmp forum. It seems other people have reported same issue. Hopefully I hear something back.
