Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Whenever I open Firefox, it starts out covering over both the top and bottom gnome toolbars on my desktop, the only way to correct this is to enter and leave full-screen view (F11), as opposed to other applications that maximize within the bars.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

Changed in firefox-3.0:

I have a similar prob; although firefox seems to cover the Ubuntu bars when I follow a link from thunderbird. I also have found the only way to show the top and bottom bars is to go into fullscreen, then go back. Irritating.

firefox 3.0, ubuntu intrepid. No proprietary hardware drivers.
