Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

Clicking the maximize square in the top right works for half a second then it goes back; dragging with the mouse does not work; Alt+space and Resize or Move does not work; F11 does not work; right-clicking the shortcut and going to properties and selecting Normal or Maximized does not work. I know I pushed something on accident. Please let me know what it is!!

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I had the same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work. Try right clicking on the FF icon, then click Troubleshoot compatibility and run it in XP (I'm running Windows 7). That solved the problem for me, although I can't think why!
