loftarasa : Then it might not be *only* resolution related, but here's the result of my observations and test.

I have more than 10 customers that use firefox and compiz, but only one have this problem, which appears every week. His screen resolution is 1280x1024. A clean install and clean firefox profile does not fix anything.

Personally, I never had this problem with 1680x1050 (the maximum resolution of my screen) and I can't reproduce the bug with that resolution, however if I change the resolution of my screen to 1280x1024 or 1024x768, I can easily reproduce it.

Since this bug can also be reproduced when you open a firefox profile on a lower resolution than the last one firefox used, would it be a possible explanation that compiz uses his own way to deal with the resolution instead of working with the real used resolution and sometime assume a higher resolution than the "real" one?

This would explain why some people get this bug and why some people don't, depending on the match between graphic card and screen.
