Hello list,
Far too often, Firefox on this box will hide the tab bar, but behave as though it were still there. In other words, I have to aim the mouse
pointer
2cm below the thing I want to click.
Pressing <ALT> reveals the bar but clicking in it just hides it again. I can still cycle through the tabs with the standard <CTRL><left/right>.
Sometimes remerging Firefox fixes it, sometimes rebooting does; mostly
isjust have to put up with it.
Several versions of Firefox have suffered this, and several versions of Plasma. I might submit a bug report if I could work out which component
at fault.
Disabling my three plugins didn't help. I fixed it in the end by removing ~/.mozilla and setting mozilla up again. At least, I hope it's fixed. It's looking good so far.

Hello list,

As the Firefox dir is all text files, I think, when you blow it away and rebuild and get the correct behaviour, grab a copy. When the dodgy behaviour returns diff the copy, with the good behaviour, against the
current dir, with the dodgy behaviour, and see what's changed. That may
lead to an indication of what's being naughty.
I have a recollection of doing this in the past to track down a

Good idea. Thanks Andrew.

Just a small matter of 308 files to check. :)
