I am running Kubuntu 23.10 on Wayland and Firefox (snap version) does not show a Minimize or Maximize Button anymore in the top right corner (see attached screenshot).

How can I bring these buttons back?

I suppose going to the firefox application menu, More tools, Customize toolbar and activating title bar should do it

Your reply solved my problem. Thank you!

No problem. Lots of people don't like the title bar, but i think it looks better since the window decorations fit better for the system theme. Customize toolbar is a great place to, yk, customize the firefox experience xd

Why use flatpak when you can just use deb repositories?

Unfortunately you can't install Firefox deb in Ubuntu anymore (just like chromium). Canonical doing sh*t!

Not true, I ran Kununtu until March and I removed snap and used the official Mozilla PPA. It worked better than snap and probably flatpak too.

You may want to take a look at the @tuxedocomputers repositories, that's how I get my #Firefox.
(Full disclosure: I bought a machine with it preinstalled)

@JTskulk @woelkchen Because I can easily limit which files are seen by applications in a flatpak.

I love being certain that my browsers can not access my ssh keys or actually anything outside the Downloads folder.

This is a good reason I suppose, not sure if the other methods are better.

I listed one way that I know works because that's how I use Firefox on my Steam Deck (which in turn uses Plasma 5 as desktop, same as Kubuntu). If a deb package from some PPA works just as well: great.
