Minimize, Restore and Close Window buttons don't work (in one of my profiles)

The minimize, restore and close window buttons don't work in Firefox 94. I can perform these operations other ways, such as pressing Ctrl+W, or double-clicking the title bar to restore. But the actual buttons don't work, even with all my add-ons disabled. They work in other profiles, just not my main one.

Has anyone heard of a problem like this before? (I'm on Windows 7 x64)

Do you mean when you restart Firefox in Safe/Troubleshoot Mode, or when you disable them individually in a regular session?

The difference is that Safe/Troubleshoot mode would also disable any userChrome.css file in your profile, if you have one of those, so we could rule that out as an issue.

jscher2000, thank you for your reply and sorry that I forgot to check back on this thread.

The problem has got worse with the most recent Firefox versions, as now I can't even double-click the title bar to maximize/restore, which I used to be able to!

I tried Safe/Troubleshoot Mode and this DOES stop the problem, but the problem DOESN'T go away when I manually disable all my add-ons OR completely clear my Userchrome!

Any ideas what it could be?
