It's actually been like this a while - but my Thunderbird has lost its
title bar. The top bars are the search bar, with the menu bar underneath
it. So I have an "X" to close thunderbird with on the search bar, but
that's it. The "v" and "^" to maximise and minimise aren't there because
the bar they live on isn't there.

How do I get my bar back? -)

(The bar is quite happily on the window I'm typing this email in, just
not on my main Thunderbird window.)

Firefox has been like that here for some months now. Either ALT-F3 and move it, if that's what you want, or CRTL-Q and restart it somewhere else.

If you right click twice near the top edge of the window, then the Plasma window menu show up. From there you can select to minimise/maximise. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

Yes, but why has FF shrugged off the standard presentation of a program window? And why is it allowed to get away with it?

It’s been doing this for very many a year in Windows already (I think Chrome started that trend), and also in Gnome everything “has to be”™ a unified window titlebar now.

A main reason for avoiding Gnome: its adoption of the Windows attitude - we know what you need better than you do - go and sit quietly in the corner.

Because they want to.

Because other browsers do it.

Because Desktop Environments have started to do it.

Because none of these three groups care what users want.

And why is it allowed to get away with it?

Better ask why gnome is allowed to get away with it. The reason why
Mozilla is allowed to get away with it is much more obvious:

Mozilla is a for-profit corporation, and Firefox is a side project for
them which they avoid talking about because browsers embarrass them.

This makes Firefox trend towards being as bad as every other browser
already is (Firefox is still edging by on being a bit better than the competition, for now), but writing a browser from scratch that supports currently existing websites (i.e. isn't a toy like lynx) is a
challenging endeavor and there is very little competition at all.

(It is fascinating that there is actually any competition at all. But
Ladybird does exist, somehow!)
