in addition, my little close, minimize and expand buttons overlap onto the tab bar, I can't select a tab without clicking on its very bottom, and for some reason, these problems don't occur in full screen mode.

Hi ninjaondemand,

I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.

You could also try Creating a new profile.

Hopefully this helps!
