It's a great little detail, but even if I disable it, I still get that redundancy of buttons; it's not so much ugly, but it steals screen height.
It must be that something is not incorporated into the mate-marco-caja. ANY SOLUTION?

is not a solution but when you want to navigate with a little extra space press the F11 key.
As for the title bar, I think somehow it also depends on the desktop manager that has to handle the lack of the decorator.

Thank you

if you use firefox built or fetched via the "Browser Selection & Update Tool" , this doesn't occur.
the "trick" is that firefox is started via a script that runs:
Code: Select all
exec env GTK_CSD=1 /usr/lib64/firefox-currrent/firefox "$@"
this simply re-enables client side decoration for firefox(if you want to use it), that is disabled by gtk3-classic.

well, no, because it's things outside of firefox that cause the issue.

I execute that command and is closed terminal... when I enable or disable again (title bar), only hide the bottons in the tab, same before!

In Porteus 5.01 if I start Firefox via terminal command:
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ /usr/lib64/f*c*/firefox
then fn + f11 works. But not if Firefox started via it's panel icon.

OK done
, thanks! But the following:
> The path is different because I downloaded it manually (mozilla.org)
> I can only run it from the terminal without a launcher

//AFTER

//BEFORE

Code: Select all
exec env GTK_CSD=1 /mnt/sda2/vini/Programas/firefox/firefox "$@"

I don't know, as you can guess I use an appimage for the browser

the truth is that I like portable programs because I can carry them around with all the configurations (using firejail)

That's why I like Porteus and its modules.

I can only run it from the terminal without a launcher
1. turn the command into a script:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
exec env GTK_CSD=1 /mnt/sda2/vini/Programas/firefox/firefox "$@"
2. save the script as name "firefox" some where in your $PATH, ie. /bin /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (or anywhere really)
3. make it executable: chmod +x /path/to/firefox
4. have your launcher's Exec= line point to it .. eg. if in $PATH, simply Exec=firefox %u or anywhere else: Exec=/path/to/somewhere/firefox
