Indeed, I would have thought so too - but for some reason Firefox in 
Edgy doesn't remember the maximised state if you use the maximise 
button, only if you manually drag it to this state does it remember it 
when you next open it - at least for me (and the original poster). A 
very bizarre bug that had me very frustrated until I discovered this 
workaround!
