    Strange issue...

    Everytime I open firefox, it is maximized (not filled screen, just maximized), but without a window border...easy to fix...just tap F11 to toggle fill screen mode on, then off, and everything is normal....

    any idea what might be causing this? Not a terrible bother...just slightly inconvenient.

    Uhm, what are you running?

    I configured my system (a crunch-bang) to behave this way. Why do you want to waste screen real estate with boarders?

    Did you install compiz over gnome? That is a common bug. If so search compiz on this.

    Or maybe you are on Kuki and they did it right (IMHO) :)

    i had the same problem in 8.10 which i managed to resolve by going into Compiz settings manager. In the workarounds section uncheck legacy fullscreen support.

    Seems to sort the problem for me.
