Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

using ubuntu 8.10 with firefox 3.0.10 (canonical 1.0), firefox always uses all the screen; no top buttons are displayed(-,[], x), firefox hides the ubuntu system menus, and is not possible to use the ubuntu system menus or another application without closing firefox, also the only way to close firefox is by menu (archivo->cerrar pestaña, archivo->salir (spanish)).

By the way: in some previous ubuntu kernels the firefox was working well.

1) .- Ubuntu Release:
Gracias por su interés en Ubuntu 8.10 - la versión Intrepid Ibex - publicado en octubre de 2008.

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

Linux xxxx 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 15 18:59:16 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux.

2) .- firefox:
  Instalados: 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1
  Candidato: 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages

3) .- I expected to happen: i want to see the three normal buttons to be able to close or minimize the actual firefox window.

4) .- what happend instead: firefox always shows full screen without buttons, and the focus is always on it.

Here is the console errors:
----------------------------------------------------------------
