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?

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.
