I've tested this issue on Windows 7 x32 and connected remotely from a Windows 10 x64 pc with a lower resolution than the main pc, using the native windows remote desktop connection. I couldn't reproduce the bug on latest Nightly(45.0a1), neither on latest Firefox release build(42.0). Also, verified this on 41.0.2 and it worked perfectly. Please provide us more information on how to reproduce this bug or let us know is this still reproduces in the latest builds.
