I am no longer able to resize my firefox window horizontally, any ideas?
I noticed earlier that I can no longer resize my firefox window horizontally, the border seems to have disappeared. I've searched, using google and various other sites to find a solution to this and I'm coming up short. I've tried multiple things, safe mode, hitting F11, clearing the cache/cookies, even reinstalling. The issue still exists and I don't know what caused it. It is also affecting various flash applications, they no longer scale to the window size and parts are cut off. Any ideas?

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Window sizes and positions are stored in the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If the right edge of the browser window is off-screen, you can get it back on screen using the windows control menu.
First, use the window control menu to make sure the window is "restored" rather than maximized. Press Alt+spacebar and if Restore is not grayed out, choose Restore.
Next, resize the window width using the control menu. Press Alt+spacebar, then choose Size. Press the right arrow key once, then press the left arrow key repeatedly until the right edge of the window comes into view. Press Enter to complete the resizing. From here you should be able to resize with your mouse in the usual manner.
Any luck?

I can resize it using the arrow keys after selecting size but it doesn't solve my issue - once resized I still cannot use my mouse to resize it like I've always been able to. I can resize it Vertically fine but Horizontally doesn't work regardless of what I've tried. I gave thought to the localstore being corrupted as well and even tried making a new profile, it didn't solve the issue. I have added a screenshot showing the window, I don't have it maxed, I used to have 2 borders - 1 on the left and 1 on the right that I could hover over and it would let me resize using the mouse. They no longer exist. I'm using the default theme even since that was suggested as a solution on another forum topic.
Also, small edit, I apologize for choosing the solution as the fix, it's 3 am and I'm half asleep so I clicked the button meaning to click reply.
Second edit: I noticed one of my explorer windows having the same issue and part of the border not being there at all so I unloaded Windowblinds and the problem is solved, looks like my profile on it got damaged. Thanks for the replies. Topic can be closed.

Did you delete the file localstore.rdf in the Firefox Profile Folder ?
If you use a desktop shortcut then try to create a new desktop shortcut to see if that helps.
