after yesterdays update, my Firefox browser window is small. The icon in the top RH corner to maximize is gone & I am unable to drag the corner or side of the browser to expand. I can switch to full screen which makes the window full size but then I lose my tabs & menu.

Hello mjsiebold,

Could it be that you're in Tablet Mode instead of Desktop Mode  ?

You can check Windows Settings to make sure ...... and if you are in Tablet Mode, change the setting to Desktop Mode.

Then those minimize and maximize buttons should be back.
