Problem
Firefox taking up the whole screen problem
Solution
What you need to do is for a temporary fix is press "F11" twice
Permanent fix
Go into the Compiz Settings Manager and find "Windows Decorations" add the following line to "Decoration Windows"
(any) | class=Firefox
Once you've done that close out CCSM, then open CCSM back up again, then change that to:
any
Then that should solve the problem, it worked flawlessly. If that doesn't work you can always revert back to metacity
metacity --replace

Ha! This gave me the idea to do the opposite: how to hide the titlebar in Firefox to maximise vertical screenspace.
e.g. use the ! sign to invert such as
(any) & !(class=Minefield)
I already use plugins to hide the menubar and the statusbar but this is the icing on the cake, thanks.
can't find "Windows Decorations" .. do you mean "Windows Rules" ?
i added this:
class=Firefox
in "Non resizable windows" and "Non movable windows" ..
don't know if this fix the problem!
Window Decorations is in the Effects section
Do you mean take out the parenthesis around "any" and keep the rest of the "| class=Firefox" or replace the entire string with just "any"?
