Weird glitch on session restart

Post#1 by dreadbird » 21 Dec 2024, 09:54

Whenever I reboot or logoff and back in my firefox doesnt allow me to resize the window. I have to go down to the bottom and right click and select resize.
Is this a bug? its super annoying. only solution I can think of is just close firefox so I dont see the annoying popup with a window that you cant resize.

Maybe you can run firefox in the terminal if that is possible, maybe it give some helpful logs, which I am not sure if it does and if it would be helpful

I found out how to fix firefox not resizing.

go to View - Tools bars - customize toolsbar

then at the bottom of the page uncheck toolbar.


This fixed the very annoying glitch where when firefox is started logging in or rebooting you couldnt resize the window.
for what its worth this is very good as firefox runs better than chrome on linux and supports plasma sessions for porteus
