Could you confirm that Firefox is not in full screen view? The F11 key switches between full screen and regular views.

Have you customized your Windows XP theme? Maybe Firefox is not fully compatible with it. If you hover your mouse over the area where those buttons normally appear, does it behave as though there are invisible but working buttons there?

Myfirfox2, typing in all caps is considered shouting.

The spelling of username is what was submitted when you created it and not the forum or Mozilla's doing.
