Public bug reported:

Open firefox or thunderbird.  Move the window.  Quit the application.  Open the 
application again.  The window is back over on the left again.
The mozilla team leaves window positioning to the window manager on unix/linux 
systems:

The advanced settings to enable Gnome to remember window positions is not 
available at the place these instructions say they were a year ago:

A similar ubuntu bug was reported earlier, but it was about firefox only, and 
it is already marked as having been fixed in Feb., however, I am seeing the 
issue today using Feisty, which was released in April:

One possible workaround is using Devil's Pie:

which requires hand editing xml files and creating pattern matching filter 
rules.
