Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

After I un-dock my laptop (using 1280x1024 on external monitor) and
switch to using the laptops internal 1024x768 display, firefox is in
some strange way maximized even over the top/bottom panels. The top bar
is not visible.

I have attached a screenshot which shows all that I see on my screen.

I try alt-space to get the menu which you can use unmaximize from but it
has no effect. I also try resize but it doesn't work.

I can from the bottom right corner get the mouse pointer to change to
the one that is used when resizing windows but I cannot resize.

I know of no other way than to re-dock the computer, start firefox and
close it unmaximized with a small window size and leave it on the top
left corner.

$ apt-cache policy firefox
