Nothing happens when I try to minimize firefox 10.0.3 by clicking the - in the upper right corner. Also if I go to Help-About to check my program version, I can't close that window again. The X doesn't work. The minimizing problem is making me crazy!

Hi,

You can try to update Firefox to check if the problems are solved: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Alternatively via Firefox Help (Alt + H) > About Firefox. If the problem persists after updating, please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location (profile folder) separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings in Tools (Alt + T) > Options and about:config, and usually would also be empty of Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons, and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website cache/cookies/data/preferences etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).

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).
