My Firefox windows continuously get hidden behind the top bar of ubuntu 21.10.
I can get it back to normal by changing the windowsize twice (superkey
+left arrow
, and than superkey
+upper arrow
). Is there a way to get this back to normal. I have tried to reinstall firefox but that did not work.

Did you install FF 94 beta, FF 95, and/or use my answer? ps: you have WAY too many FF extensions installed.– heynnemaDec 30, 2021 at 15:46

1By looking at your image file. You have more than a dozen installed. Didn't my answer work? I'm not sure that FF v95 really fixed your original problem.– heynnemaDec 30, 2021 at 18:52

This was a known problem and the solution is stated in Ubuntu's release notes.
The firefox snap has a known renderer process crash when switching VTs or resuming from suspend. This is caused by the same issue that renders WebGL non-functional in Wayland sessions. The problem is fixed in the upcoming 94.0 release (beta at the time impish is released), so a possible workaround is to temporarily switch the snap to the beta channel:
snap refresh firefox --beta

Don't use a beta. Why not just use
Software Updater
and you'll get Firefox v95?– heynnemaDec 27, 2021 at 2:28
Position the mouse cursor in the current Firefox
window, hold down the SUPER key, hold down the left mouse button, drag the Firefox
window out from underneath the top panel.
