Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
As of lately (no idea what I changed... I think I didn't change anything) when I start firefox it opens up a window that fills the entire screen. The top-end of the window with the bar- (minimize), the square- (maximize) and the cross-symbol (close) on the right hand side has disappeared, as well as the desktop-bar at the bottom, where all running programs are shown and can be switched to with a mouse-click. (see attached screenshot of the ENTIRE screen)
The window is maximized, so no chance of trying to resize it by moving the bottom right corner of the window with the mouse.

Maybe the problem resulted from using an external monitor, maximizing firefox there, and now firefox somehow thinks the screen is a little bigger than it actually is??? Some of the files lying around on my desktop on the right hand side seem to be off-monitor too: I can only see the leftmost part of them. (see screenshot nr. 2 attached here; you can see that on the right hand side of the desktop some files are just barely visible.)
So maybe gnome is giving firefox wrong informations about the actual size of my screen?
