Since recent updates, but not the ones I've downloaded today, if I have display effects set to anything other than 'none', when I use Firefox the blue page header with the - o X controls in the corner is missing. This isn't true of any other program, be it Opera, Seamonkey or OpenOffice, and using defaults suggests it's not due to something I've done.

My theme is an unaltered one, though I've tried others to make sure that wasn't involved. I have to quit Firefox through the File drop-down menu. In fact it's only since just hearing the pop that happens when my battery's low that's made me realise my bottom toolbar isn't their either.

I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it to no avail. In fact it didn't seem to properly uninstall even though I checked the box as 'complete removal'.

Is this a bug since those updates a few days ago? Can I put it right?

Thanks.

Whether or not it's a bug I seem to have solved it. I clicked on the maximise 'o' in the corner, then went into Compiz and turned the effects from none to normal with Firefox still on. Things are back to normal now.

With Compiz, you can expect these little exciting events to occur. I am glad you fiddled and adjusted enough to get back on track. Have fun.

Thanks for posting this fix. I had the same problem. This fixed it.
