Firefox 17 resizes incorrectly with Sawfish WM

[Mike McCormack]

After updating firefox (and thunderbird) to version 17, the Firefox and Thunderbird main windows don't resize correctly.

Upon opening the main window, everything looks good, but clicking on the lower right corner to resize causes the window to become around 200x100 pixels, and the maximize button to disappear. Trying to make the window larger makes it smaller.

Downgrading to firefox_16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb fixes the problem.

The bad build appears to be: firefox_17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb

Hello Mike,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Firefox window size.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Firefox since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Firefox better.
