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

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.

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 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

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