Resize Window. Cannot Do It

Version 92.0 (64 bit) Ubuntu: 18.04, 20.04

For a couple of months, I have not been able to resize the FF window. Consequently, I abandoned FF for Chrome. I've just upgraded my os to Ubuntu 20.04 (from 18.04) so I thought I'd try FF again. The problem persists.

Minimize/Maximize work fine, but when non-maximized, the resize "handles" don't show up (see attached image). I've tried safe-mode, as suggested by some previous post, but it hasn't helped.

That can happen if you remove the title bar. You can resize with alt+right-click OR your window manager may enable you to add resize handles.

Can you open the system menu via "Alt+Space" ?

Thanks TerryN21 and cor-el. - Restoring the Title bar fixes the issue (but one loses real estate) - Alt-right click does not work - Window manager. No idea how to access it - Alt-Space-R allows resizing IMHO, these are still workarounds. I'm sure there are others like me who have just dropped FF because of this. I'm back, though.Thanks.
