Using version 10.0.1 with Win XP 5.1 SP3. Firefox opens & seems to work properly, but controls in upper right corner of title bar do nothing.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Shortcuts do not work either. I will investigate from the windows end. Thanks!
