I do not see an option to allow Firefox to be skinned anywhere in the latest release. So, am I missing something? Or, is there some special change like what was done for Chrome to get it to work?
Hello,
and do the titlebar enabled in Firefox. 3 bar menu -> Customize -> tick the "Title bar" box in the lower left
Thank you,
BasjStardock Community Assistant.
I couldn't get it to work on Firefox 70.0.1 (64 bit).
I am on 70.0.1 (32bit) but not sure if its matter if its 32 or 64 bit. Did you do the restart?
Edit: Same thing on my laptop. Also 64bit btw.
Please try the 3 bar menu -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled..
if it still does not work please try Reset Firefox : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-preferences-fix-problems
Sorry, but I still do not see that option. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WB without any luck. Take a look here:
Please try to do purge and reinstall steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling
Just make sure to re-download the latest version : v10.84 again. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again. Retest and report back here.
That got it fixed! Thanks for the tip. Firefox is skinning properly too.
Great, glad to help.

Thanks Basj. I've been using Vivaldi and it's a good browser but it's not skinned. Your tips worked for Firefox and it's skinned! YAY!!!! Working pretty good so far. Thanks again
Great, glad it work for you.
The correct version now shows on my downloads page. Thanks for your help, Basj, and Sean.
It was a big mistake getting this program...
I cannot download via the link provided as my windowblinds was purchased along with obj desktop and the stinking auto update only updated to 10.82! I can't even download via the main program link as Malwarebytes has it flagged as a scam site!
Such a crying shame as the program works flawlessly otherwise, but for the truncated search bar in explorer!
Hello dunmer2007,Sorry to hear you are having issues.
Not really sure why you can't download via the given link since its working for me. What is the error or problem you facing?
I think, that can be consider false positive by Malwarebytes.
That is one of the main issue on Win10 V1909 that solved on WB V10.84

I do not have the option to skin Firefox on 10.84
I have 10.82 installed and went back to the standard OD app, and it works fine on my system. Yesterday, OD notified me that 10.84 is again available. Can someone share what benefit there is to switching to 10.84?
The information on WB V10.84 was mentioned at the beginning of this thread, did you missed it?
In short its solved the Windows 10 v1909 issue of Missing search box in File explorer. If you still not using Win10 v1909. WBv10.82 is still good for you.
Quoting dunmer2007,
Basj,
Indeed, which is why I want to get the update in the first place, yet the auto/manual updater for the program is broken due to it not updating to vers 10.84.
EDIT: Just installed 10.84 and it now works properly!
Thanks Basj it was a false positive!
Yes you do.. it is in your account
The windowblinds update popup for 10.84 resulted in the setup file being flagged as infected by bitdefender.

As a result windowblinds failed to install.
When I downloaded manually from 'My Downloads' it worked fine.
False positives are common for files the app / service has not seen before...
Thank You! So many annoyances fixed with 10.84! 👍👍👍
When I push and use the CTRL + ALT + DEL menu on my Windows 10 Pro 64 bit OS running WindowBlinds 10.84, when I escape back to the desktop some of the colors are no longer skinned. I am reporting it since I have been able to do it a few times now but I am not always able to get that result. Thank you for listening (reading).
