If the Menu Bar is visible, the Firefox can be draged only by using a "line" where the title of a tab is shown, i.e. the area/line above the Menu Bar. If the Menu Bar is hidden, then the whole windows title area can be used to drag the window. Is there any settings which can be used to "fix" this problem?

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Thank you.

I'm not aware of a way to circumvent this.
If the menu bar is visible then you can't drag the window otherwise then via the title bar.
If you have the Firefox menu button then things can be different and if the tabs are in the title bar then you can probably click that area to drag the window.
I'm on Linux, so can't test with which part s of the user interface dragging is possible.

Can you actually drag the window if you do that via the Navigation Toolbar or other visible toolbars?
