I was using Firefox just fine until I had to reformat windows 7 and now whenever Firefox is not Fullscreen mode I get a clear windows explorer border around my Firefox. (like it does to normal folders). It did not do this before.

notice the clear boarder around firefox and the 'firefox' upper left hand button is in the windows tab instead of it's own tab like when it's full screened.

It looks just fine fullscreen, thats how it looked at all times before.

Please help.

Disable all add-ons and use the Firefox default theme.

If this fixes your issue then it is caused by extensions.
