+In some configurations this can look very ugly like above. But it's possible to change this, therefore navigate to ''More tools'' > ''Customize toolbar'' and tick the check in the lower left corner that says ''Title Bar'':
+{{:linux:linux-tutorials:waterfox_settings_titlebar.png?1200|}}
+Finally your Waterfox should look like this:

+==== Fix missing fonts ====
+It might be, that some webpages will be displayed in Times New Roman font, to fix that install the missing fonts by just installing the packages ''ttf-mscorefonts-installer'' and ''fonts-lyx'':
+<code bash>sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer fonts-lyx ffmpeg</code>
