I don't have the X button on my client of Firefox.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, but there is no buttons to minimize, maximize or close. I have to do these using things like Aero Snap. This doesn't happen on Firefox 3.6.8

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I downloaded Firefox 4

Are you using a Persona? Does that happen if the Default theme is selected?

Did you create a new Profile to use with the 4.0 betas? You should have a new Profile for testing purposes.

You can also make the Menu Bar visible all the time. Click the Firefox button > Customize > Menu Bar

I see this behaviour in all the Persona themes I've tried.

Only the "Default 4.0b3pre" theme has the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons visible.

Enabling the default theme worked! Thanks for the suggestion the-edmeister. It's too plain, but it will have to do until this issue is fixed.

I use Vista Home and have the same problem. I use two screens and need to "Minimize" before dragging between screens.

Ticking the "Menu bar" option brings them back. If I then "Minimize" and un-tick the "Menu Bar" option, the browser snaps to the top of the screen (still minimized) but I am unable to grab the Title bar to drag the browser.

In my view this is a serious fault in Firefox 4
