I have been having the same or similar problem. I would open Firefox and it 
would only be maximized and could only get out of it by going to file-close or 
alt-tab to another application to get the Gnome menu and application bars to 
minimize it.
 I saw someone had the problem here with stumbleupon so I looked in my addons 
and found I had interclue running. I disabled interclue and the problem 
stopped. I then installed stumbleupon and after running a short period and 
restarting Firefox it returned, disabled stumbleupon, restarted Firefox and it 
was corrected again. 
 I have my ideas as to what it may be but I'm sure someone who can program 
could figure what exactly it may be. The bug seems to be associated with addons 
that search or log information/links on sites visited. 
 My suggestion is to maybe disable all addons and add them back one at a time 
testing them all and seeing what the offending ones have in common. Probably be 
a good Idea to give the bug fixers here the list.
 I hope this helps someone temporarily get running, and the programmers to ID 
the bug.
