This is probably expected going forward, because if you've used a modernized website lately you should know that computer users are in a minority, and that you should only use a touchscreen on a phone to scroll through your personalized ads. Read more here: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/news/modern-clean-new-firefox-clears-the-way-to-all-you-need-online/ Only nerds and geeks would use advanced features like "Always on top" etc. I've found a workaround where the menu containing "Minimize" and other items shows up if you right-click on one of the window edges *other* than the top: left, right, or bottom (where you would left-click and drag to change the window size). However, neither of these are accessible if the window is already maximized.

More details about that could be helpful. 1) Debian 10 (Buster) 2) FF ESR 91.5.0esr (64-bit) (released at the same time as the instance for Bullseye) 3) Gnome3 with Wayland disabled. I also tried with Wayland enabled and no difference. Perhaps it is a Gnome issue. I'll keep looking. -- Regards, John Boxall

Unable to minimize Firefox 91.5.0esr at top of frame
After upgrading to the latest Debian 10 (Buster) Firefox ESR (91.5.0esr 64bit), I found that I could not minimize the window by right clicking on the top of the window frame and selecting "Minimize", whether the menu bar was present or not. The menu for selecting minimize was not even present. I was able to perform the minimize with the old (78.x) release. I recently installed the latest FF release from the Mozilla site (version 95.0.2 64bit) and noted the same situation. Is this expected going forward or is this a bug? -- Regards, John Boxall
