After running for a few minutes and visiting several web sites, in Firefox ver 3.6.13 the "X" close and "_" minimize and Resize buttons on the top right of the browser window become locked and unresponsive. this has just started recently. I've tried an overlay re-install with no effect. Any fix ideas would be appreciated.

This happens to me too. It used to happen once in a while, probably due to hibernating and leaving firefox open for long periods or with too many tabs. Restarting the browser solves the problem.

But after updating to 3.6.13 and some extensions/addons, it happens almost every time. The minimize, resize, close buttons do not work. I can still switch between the tabs I have open and make new tabs, but the title bar keeps the title of the last tab I was on when it froze. When smaller frames are open, such as download box or save as box, those freezes and can't be close either.

If I minimize through "show desktop," the window doesn't open up again.
