and I HATE it. There is no space at the top now to double-click to send the app to the dock. I do this constantly, and now every time I do it I have to try about 4-5 times to do it and it just really pisses me off. There was no reason to change this. I'm already packed with memory leaks due to all the add-ons to try to do basic things and configure the browser to how it looked in the past when it was more useful. PLEASE, please stop changing things for no reason. Please focus on memory leaks, and leave working designs alone.

When you hover over the new tab "+" button so that you can see its full shape, then move the mouse off it so it is no longer highlighted, there is no space left to double-click on? I think there should be, but I run Windows and there probably are some little differences I don't know about.

In case it helps, do you want to restore the classic menu bar? You can either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Customize, then on the bottom "Show/Hide Toolbar" and choose Menu Bar
  • right-click the new tab "+" button on the tab bar > Menu Bar

I've been annoyed by this for awhile and finally took the time to find the solution. Why the default changed in one of the recent FF updates is beyond me. Totally irritating.

1. Make sure you have "Double-click a window's title bar to minimize" clicked (on) in your System Preferences. It's either under General, Appearance, or Dock preferences, depending on which version of OS X you are running.

2. In the title bar type: "about:config" (no quotes) and hit return.

3. Click on the button that says, "I'll be careful. I promise!"

4. Scroll down until you find "browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" and double-click on that line to change the value to "false".

Everything should work the way it used to, minimizing the window, when you double-click the title bar.
