Since the most recent update today 08/05/19 I am no longer able to resize the browser window by dragging the edges/corner of the browser window.

The update is 66.0.5, 64-bit for PC. I was just now notified about it and installed it immediately. The bar along the top of the browser window showing the tabs no longer reaches the edges of the display, and reveals the edges of something (?) underneath. The browser window itself no longer has lines around its edges, and the cursor no longer changes shape when I hover it over the edge, and I can't resize the browser window. If I press ALT-SPACE, SIZE in the drop-down menu is greyed out.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full install.

Hi nicotiana, it sounds like the Firefox window is maximized, but for some reason not using the whole display. If you switch between Maximized and Resizable (you can use the "middle button" or Alt+Space > Restore), does Firefox (or Windows?) figure out the correct size?

Thank you for posting an idea for a solution so quickly, although it didn't actually help. I ended up solving the problem inadvertently by re-enabling my theme (minimalist blue) which the update had disabled. I've no idea why that did the trick, though. Even the 'size option in the drop down menu was enabled again.

Thank you. I did that yesterday too. Must have happened during my frantic arrempts to re-enable/download it just after the update that disabled add-ons!
