My setup: A remote server running CentOS Linux 7 and Firefox Browser 102.7.0esr (64-bit), accessed via RDP from a Windows 10 Enterprise laptop (No tablet)

Up in the top right corner of the Mozilla Firefox window, I have only the close button, the Minimize and the Maximize buttons are missing. In the same gnome (desktop) environment, all other running windows has those buttons available.

Note: if toggle enable or disable those buttons “Minimize” & “Maximize” [command: gnome-tweaks > Windows > "Titlebar Buttons" > toggle] , all running windows in gnome will be affected correctly, except the Firefox window, with no impact. Reinstall Firefox did not help.

This behavior started after our latest yum update recently.

When connected locally to the Linux server, there are no issues, the buttons are available. (i.e., no RDP involved)

firefox-102.7.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64 xrdp-0.9.21-1.el7.x86_64

Any tip from the community?

Additional info, starting Firefox (firefox-102.7.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64) with cli "/bin/firefox 2>&1" will show:

However, doing as mentioned above, getting a version directly produced by Mozilla (firefox-61.0.tar.bz2) solved the issue, the Titlebar Buttons are back.

Thanks!

Hi

Instead of using the version from the repo, please can you try a version directly produced by Mozilla (the tarball, Snap or Flatpak)?

Does the same issue occur?

Oops sorry, firefox-61.0.tar.bz2 is of cause totally wrong version! Trying with version firefox-112.0b9.tar.bz2 instead, and unfortunately still problem.

But starting firefox as user root, the Titlebar Buttons are back.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

You can also try a different theme and icon pack in Linux.
