same here, I cant see any panels or borders around firefox. switching to other applications is possible and the they are not effected.

It occurs since the update yesterday evening.

[semon (simon-renard)]

confirmed here also

[Miguelángel León (migueleonm)]

Same here (intrepid stable branch)

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

most likely compiz issue.

[Kyle Gordon (kylegordon)]

Having just upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, I can confirm that the issue is still present. It's a major showstopper for average users trying to use Firefox. The current workaround seems to be to hit F11 (fullscreen) twice.

[semon (simon-renard)]

it seems to be right to normal with the latest update of compiz...

[B Murphy (brantlymurphy)]

Yes thank you, easy fix. Took ME long enough...

[Miguelángel León (migueleonm)]

It was fixed with an update but i opened two firefox windows at the same time and the window manager is gone again, tested in two pcs, no window manager now, i have to press f11 twice every time i open firefox.
