Bug Description

If I start Firefox with in KDE Plasma with kwin compositing disabled, and the Firefox title bar is disabled via Customize, the whole window has a border. Otherwise my computer is configured to not have window borders, and other applications don't have such a border. I don't know how to make that border go away, besides enabling compositing. Playing with #main-window in userChrome.css shows that the border and margin I can set there exists inside the border which I'm trying to remove.

KWin has a hotkey for toggling compositing, found in Global Shortcuts. Default seems to be Alt+Shift+F12. Toggling compositing doesn't seem to change this immediately. What matters is the state of compositing when Firefox was started.

I'm attaching a screenshot showing this border.
