how to enable the menu

davidmaxwaterman

I want to have the menu back in the window and not at the top of the screen.

Until an upgrade this morning, I used to have it in a little FF icon on the top left of the window, but not any more. Now I can only get the menu if I have the window fullscreen. There used to be an option on the 'View/Toolbars' menu to enable it, but not any more :(

NB, I have focus-follows-mouse, so I can get the menu at the top of the screen if I avoid passing over any other windows on its route to the top of the screen.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

To Enable SafeMode

  • You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
  • Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I tried it in safe mode already, and I also moved the ~/.mozilla folder somewhere else and tried again, including a reset...as per all the instructions I already found; but it made no difference.

Did you try to reproduce it and fail? It seems to be due to a recent update...nothing to do with my environment as such.

Try this (using ubuntu-64 13.04):

1) install 'unity tweak tool' 2) run it and under 'Window manager'/Additional, set "Focus behaviour" to off, and "Focus mode" to mouse. 3) in a terminal, run :

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences raise-on-click false

Then install/upgrade Firefox and make sure it is the same as my version :

22.0 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0

4) To put the menus back in the windows (where they should be) : sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt

5) then run firefox and see if you can get the menu back in the window...it is supposed to be as simple as disabling the ubuntu plugin(s), and it used to work, but it doesn't any more.

Suggestions welcome.
