What is this annoying bar which keeps appearing above Firefox?

Post by basijan »

I suddenly keep seeing this stupid bar at the top, so I have double controls

How can i remove this thing?

I've checked in system settings - windows and there is nothing obvious really:

I'm using Cinnamon

...


I've disabled the title bar in Firefox customisation menu, and that does work .. until I click and drag the window out of a tiled position, then the title bar reappears!!

I've used cinammon maximus to undecorate using a hotkey - this is a more permanent fix (persists after clicking and dragging), but I have to do it every time I open firefox!

Can anyone please help?

Under 'View', the only thing I have checked is Toolbars > Menu Bar

Everything else is turned OFF.

and as the pix shows, all I have is the Menu and the Tabs and Command line

And on the right hand side? How many minimize, maximize and restore buttons do you have?

This is how it looks in full screen, or if its snapped into place:

After dragging it out of snap:
