Hello, I recently upgraded Firefox to the latest 82.0 (64-bits) version. I am quite sure that with that version a new problem appeared by which the Firefox windows have no border except the window title bar, and cannot be grabbed for resizing. I believe it has to do with Firefox because other windows doe not have this problem, and the firefox window has the menu "File|Edit|etc." inside the window title bar. The versions are: - Firefox see above - Compiz version : 1:0.9.12.3 - Ubuntu 16.04LTS - gtk2-engines-murrine : 0.98.2-0

Incidentally, when starting firefox on the cli, I receive the error messages copied below. Thanks for the great work, firefox must continue and grow. Regards, xgiannak

Today I found a solution from https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=331078 The key is to modify or add a line in 

"/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/"your name profil"/prefs.js

Open file "prefs.js" with text editor. Change browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar true to false or add the line if it is not there.

Cheers, xgiannak
