Hello, recently I've been having issues where if misclick anywhere on the title bar (even in the small space between bookmarks) firefox will minimize/restore when I didn't want it too. How do I disable this in about:config?

The double-click action on the window title bar is a Linux OS setting that works for all applications, so you need to check there. For me this is the Tweak Tool: right-click on the desktop -> Settings -> Windows -> Titlebar Actions.

I've tried switching those settings around (even in dconf) but none of them worked; however, in doing so I realized the crux of the issue is that the entire firefox window excluding the actual webpage acts as the titlebar. So clicking and dragging anywhere in that area that isn't the webpage will move the entire window and thus, 'restore' it. AFAICT only firefox does this.

What OS? What Desktop? Think about it... there is nothing about Titlebar Actions in Firefox settings. see screenshot
