Wait a moment after opening the new window. It may take a few seconds for the Dexpot entry to appear in the system menu.

Hi Patrick,

The system menu does, as you say, only appear for non-maximized windows. After some more testing I come to only one use case when the problem of system menu does occur and dexpot menu is not visible.

Try the following:
  1. Open Firefox window
  2. Create a new Firefox window by hitting "ctrl + n"
  3. Try right-click on top bar and see if system menu appear

I am running a multiple screen setup and I don't know if that will affect Dexpot behavior.

BR,
Jon

And this one has something to do with Dexpot?

With tabs on top, maximized Firefox windows haven't had the system menu for a while. It should still be there for non-maximized windows. Or try right-clicking on the minimize, maximize, close buttons in the top right corner.

Hi,

I don't get a complete crash in Firefox, but the right-click menu of Firefox at the top window bar is not working. Previously I would get a menu with "Restore, Minimize..., Dexpot.." but not anymore. I am running Firefox 25.0 on Win7.

BR,
Jon

Let us know if any actual evidence of a connection to Dexpot comes up.
