Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121119183901

Steps to reproduce:

Been using firefox since version 1.4 or something and have also been using a program called filebox extender from hypersonic for about 4 years in both vista and windows 7. The program has some fuctions to extened window options ie. always on top and window rollup (shows only the title bar of a window).

I rolled firefox window up with filebox extender.


Actual results:

The last update to firefox 17 has broken the window rollup function. Instead of rolling a window up to the title bar, it rolls the window up to the bottom toolbar in firefox. Since I use the old interface and have some toolbars, it makes the title bar five time bigger than it should be when rolled up (hidden). It also includes toolbar space used at the bottom of firefox.


Expected results:

The window should have rolled up into the tilebar space.

I wouldnt complain for it defeats the purpose when the bar takes up such desktop space. Thanks for sending to the team to research.  I am using the same version of filebox extender for years. I dont know if it effects other windowing programs but I suspect so if there is something wrong with the oder of childs and parents windows in firefox. bug might be similar to 360112 I dont know. If the window is minimized and maxmimized while rolled, it then shows the toolbars.

With WebExtensions being the only valid way of doing extensions in Firefox 57, I don't think this bug is still relevant.
