I got some Firefox upgrades from Ubuntu recently, and since then Firefox has had the bad habit of opening to the whole size of the screen. My panels are covered, and the title bar at the top is gone so I can't move, minimize, or resize the Firefox window. What can I do? This is Firefox 3.0 running in Intrepid.

Press Alt+F10, then resize with mouse.

Try opening up terminal and type in: /usr/bin/gnome-wm. If that fixes the problem, then create a shortcut on your desktop to that place and run it everytime you need to reboot.
