    Unhappy [SOLVED] Firefox Oversized?

    For some reason , whenever I start Firefox it appears to be bigger than the actual screen, as in the window is resized larger than my screen.
    Firefox didn't do this up until about half an hour ago, and this happened on another account on my system too, oddly enough.
    I've already tried restarting; quitting Firefox fullscreened; quitting windowed and looking through about:config, but I don't understand all of it.
    Any help? Reasons for why it happens?
    Causes help cures ;D

    Open Firefox. Select View. Click on full screen. Then Go to bottom taskbar where Firefox tab is showing. Right click and pick resize. Grab the top Of firefox and drag it down to where you want it. Then hit the minimize/maximize box on tthe top right window of firefox. See if that fixes it. Worked for me.

    Also, a handy trick for moving/resizing windows that you can't see all of...
    • Hold Alt and left click anywhere on the window will allow you to move it, as if you were holding the titlebar
    • Hold Alt and middle-click (Click in the mouse wheel) and you can resize the window from anywhere as if you were dragging from a corner. It will act like you are holding the corner closest to your cursor
