Bug Description

Since the most recent Firefox update, I've lost the ability to control Firefox's window in Kubuntu 20.04.

Upon launch, it launches in a un-maximized state where I cannot drag it by its title bar. I have to hold down the alt-key an click the window to move it.

Hovering the mouse-cursor on any corner of window doesn't produce any indication that you can resize the Firefox window and "clicking an dragging corners" does nothing (which should resize instead).

The maximize button is completely missing from the title bar of Firefox and the superKey+pageUp doesn't maximize the window either.

I realize that I'm pointing out multiple things in one post, but I suspect all of these things are stemming from the same source problem, because all these problems started happening after the latest Firefox update in Kubuntu 20.04.
