No longer works

It's likely a compat issue with my extensions & browser ver (3.6.28+).. but 
I have 2 bars at top, the transparent location/menubar (all in 1 bar), and the 
win7 transparent caption bar above that.

When I install this extension, I get a half-height opaque title bar. :-( It may 
be half a bar less space, but its darn uglier.

Of course I will admit to be a bit strange -- like setting my background IN THE 
BROWSER to transparent...
and having web content display on my desktop...

Problem with that was it was hard to move the 'window' around and resize 
it..(not impossible, just hard)... AND ... I usually have a variable background 
pic and depending on the pic it either worked very well, or it was pretty 
unreadable.

If only I could get an opposite color fringe around the lettering or a shadow, 
like the desktop does on it's text. Then it would always be readable.

Here's a pic of my extensions page:

The green part was my desktop... an old foxgirl logo was my 'about blank' 
background..so the extensions page plotted on top of an about blank... rather 
confusing...

But if I had this extension installed, I would have had a half-height opaque 
bar at the top of the browser -- delineating it -- which, in that particular 
situation might not have been a bad thing... But barring such extremes, when I 
want the at least the edges to be transparent, having it come up opaque was a 
bummer.

Can' you apply the mini window function buttons to the stop of the highest 
toolbar (in my case would be the menu bar (which doubles as my location bar) -- 
menu is hidden away in 'personal menu'...(the extension)..

Was neat when it used to work...sigh.

P.S. Please let the user decide on an icon for the menu -- like personal menu 
-- nice and unobtrusive rather than a 1 orange-fits all, jarring color...good 
for getting attention, but you don't always want attention on the menubar....

Hi

Firefox 3.6.* is a pretty ancient version. I didn't see it since looong ago.
However I've installed it again (portableapps version) but couldn't reproduce 
any problem with HCTP 2.3.0.

Also, could you try this using a new (blank) profile?  Issues may be to 
incompatibility with other addons.

Please install Firefox 3.6 portable from here: 
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%203.6.28/FirefoxPortableLegacy36_3.6.28_English.paf.exe/download?use_mirror=ufpr&download=

and try to reproduce the issue there. That way I could instantly reproduce it 
in my Fx3.6 here too.

Please give details to reproduce the problem. Including items below:

Tks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output?

What do you see instead?

What version of "Hide Caption Titlebar Plus" addon are you using?

What version of Firefox?

** On what operating system? **

- Please provide any additional information below.

- Please provide your system info by using this url (with installed hct+):
  chrome://hidecaptionplus/content/system_info.html  (can be copy/pasted as
text also)

- If there are visual issues, please provide also screenshot/s (preferred
uploaded here instead of external link)
