OK, I looked through the diff between my working and buggy ~/.mozilla/firefox/ folders.
I first discovered that deleting my ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/localstore.rdf fixed firefox (and deleted my toolbar customizations). Then I searched through that file and found the bit that was causing problems: <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window" screenX="-1" screenY="-15" width="1024" height="768" sizemode="maximized" /> I changed the X and Y to be 0 and the width and height to the size of the content area of the pane (1022x737) instead of my monitor, and replaced "maximized" with "normal". Now when I open firefox with that ~/.mozilla it works as it should. Now the really strange part... When I tried changing just the sizemode to normal, and leaving the 4 numeric settings shown above as is... it was still buggy (fullscreen). Could other people try changing these settings to various values in metacity and compiz and see what happens? -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
