Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Steps to reproduce:

I turned off "title bar" in "customize" and restarted the browser. Happened in Linux Mint 19.1 XFCE

Actual results:

Firefox is automatically minimizing the browser, when leaving fullscreen while watching a video on youtube (and other websites too).

Expected results:

I should be able to leave fullscreen without Firefox automatically minimizing the browser.

Hi. I don't know, how do I check it? I'm not a nerd at all. If it helps i'm running latest firefox version (64.0) on linux.

You should be able to check by clicking Menu, then System, then Synaptic Package Manager.

Hey again, sorry for the late answer! It says 65.0.1+linuxmint1+tessa
Is that the answer you were looking for?

No. That's the Firefox version, not the xfwm4 package version.

Yes, thank you.

:stransky is this something to fix in Firefox or XFCE?

Flags: needinfo?(stransky)

That should be investigated on our side I think. Adding to the Gtk titlebar tracker.

Blocks: gtktitlebar

This is a low priority bug so I'm not going to work on that. Mozilla project strongly relies on volunteers and we encourage anyone to join in and submit a patch for issues which are important for you. See

how to contribute to Firefox project.

ohh, i don't know any programming language, i'm sorry. I don't think this should be a low priority bug, because it's really annoying to us Linux users. The titlebar is annoying, and we wanna get rid of it, but it's kinda impossible with this bug.

Yes, I understand you. Maybe someone else from XFCE project can look into it as it's XFCE specific and also perhaps a XFCE bug. I recommend you to report it at XFCE project bug tracker.
