You might also check to see if you are running maximus or some other addon that is mostly intended for netbooks to maximize your use of screen real estate.  BTW, that is standard for distros like ubuntu NBR (UNR)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br>
<br>
  Whenever I maximize Firefox in Ubuntu, it takes up my whole desktop.<br>
 Its really irritating because I have to press Alt-F9 to minimize it,<br>
as the window controls are gone (it super maximizes it, the header on<br>
the window is not visible nor is the other Gnome desktop controls).<br>
Any ideas on why this is happening?  This is the Gnome environment.<br>
<br>
thanks, jmz<br>
