Ubuntu

Can Not Drag Firefox Window

Asked by tomdean

I can not click in the title of the firefox window and move it. I can with the teminal, etc.
I use 'special'(?) +left click and can drag the firefox window. On some keyboards this is the windows key.
Why only the firefox window? Is it borderless?

What is the output of:

apt-cache policy firefox

Are you using Xorg or Wayland as well, please?

dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 and gnome-session allowed dragging the firefox window.
