[Bug 311392] [NEW] Firefox only opens in a form of windowed mode

[Darkgryffin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After an update of Ubuntu 8.10, Firefox started to open in a form of
full windowed mode.  The only way I have found to manipulate the window
at this point is to hit F11 twice, once to actually put it into full
windowed mode, then again to pull it out of full windowed mode.
Additionally, when clicking an active link opening it in a tab, it will
likewise put Firefox into the this strange pseudo Full Windowed mode.
Visually the only problem with the window is the top bar is missing, the
window edge is the File toolbar, with no way to close the window,
minimise, or grab it.  I am running a fully updated Ubuntu 8.10, with
Firefox 3.0.5+nobinonly-Oubuntu0.10.1, on a Gateway MT3707 standard
configuration.  Firefox has been updated twice since this problem first
appeared.  I was wondering if there was known problem between the two
programs, or this is something that is a result somehow of the hardware
I am running.
