When opening FF6 the window is immediately resized and moved but I can't see where. Screen Shot 1 It opens up minimized.

Then I have to open a new window that then opens very thin column on the right of my screen. Screen Shot 2

I can also Maximize the screen and it will show up but when I "restore down" it will minimize.

Click on the Firefox on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen - It won't appear but you have focus of the application now - You can confirm this by pressing F11 which will put Firefox into full screen mode - Press F11 again and it will vanish since you are just using this to confirm you have focus.

Now press Alt-Space and a menu will come up - Use the arrow keys to select Move and press Enter - Now use the arrow keys and eventually you will be able to move the window back onto the desktop.

This has started to happen to me more and more these days, so it must be happening to lots of other people and yet there doesn't see to have been a fix posted anywhere - Weird. Anyway, here's one now :)
