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.
@JTskulk There is firehall, systemd-nspawn, se-linux, ... and a lot more that can enable similar things.
They all involve more.work on my side though:-) At least I found flatpak the most convenient: Install flatseal from flathub, select the "global" option to tune and block whatever you think relevant.
Then go to the individual apps, check the permissions there and tighten them further as needed.
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.
