The left hand side of my Firefox browser is always cut off... when minimized or maximized... I reinstalled Firefox a few times and has not fixed the problem. It cuts off about 0ne quarter of an inch of the browser (relatively speaking). I can still browse but a tiny part is always cut off. I have a screen shot I can send you.

Normally I would just point you to

Type (paste the following):
javascript:top.resizeTo(screen.width*0.8,screen.height*0.8);self.moveTo(0,0);

into the Location Bar and press Enter.

The Babylon toolbar has been causing problems with oversize, windows. but you say yours if only very slightly off. Did you try moving the window by its title bar, or use Alt+SpaceBar then M (for Move,, or S to reSize) and drag or use arrow keys to reposition.

The following might be better resize for you:

javascript:self.resizeTo(1024,screen.availHeight);self.moveTo(768,0);

The MozillaZine KB site has been down for several hours, see a cached version and for some reason the cached version takes quite awhile to come up (maybe Google didn't speed up the internet for googleusercontent.com)

I had the same problem. I did a number of Google searches about it and looked at a bunch of stuff. Disabling a vshare plugin finally fixed it. I have no idea why.
