Zotero causes loss of taskbar/panel

loobyloo
Hi
I've noticed that since I've installed Z it causes the loss of my taskbar (or Panel as it's known in Ubuntu) when I open FF. A couple of clicks of F11 solves it but it's annoying. If I open FF in safe mode it doesn't have this behaviour.

I gather this is a known problem with some extensions on FF but I was wondering if anyone had found a way to prevent this happening.

I've already tried unticking the permission in FF which allows sites to resize windows, and I've also made sure that the command that's being used to open FF is simply "firefox" as some people said the %u or whatever it is can cause this problem.

But it's definitely something to do with Z. Any ideas anyone?

    Sounds like a Ubuntu/Gnome problem, not a Zotero problem. Someone here might have encountered it, but you might have better luck in the Ubuntu (or perhaps Firefox) forums. Either way, this is well outside the domain of a Firefox extension.

    Aha...as you predicted Dan I got the solution from the Ubuntu forums which I'll psot here in case anyone has the same problem:

    open firefox....press f11 twice to get to a normal screen.

    next click the unmaximize button.

    close firefox.

    reopen firefox.

    maximize firefox.
