The GTK2 builds of Firefox would look even more "native" and be easier to resize
if they had a resize grip in the bottom right of the status bar in Gnome.
Firefox does have a resizer grip on Windows and Mac OS X, but not in Gnome.
It appears the Gnome resizer is part of the GtkStatusBar element (which Firefox
probably doesn't use?).

Havoc Pennington confirms that Firefox should have the resize gripper:

the current release of firefox (1.0.4) has this feature (resize grippy) -
however the possible "niceness" gained by this comes at a great loss - it's
seriously buggy on the systems i've worked on (from fast to slow machines) -
note that's only linux
the oddball behavior you'll get is things like getting "stuck" in resizing mode
and having the corner of the window follow your cursor around until you manage
to "click" right on the grippy again, a moving target and not fun unless you're
bored. Also it resizes in a jerky, unbecoming fashion, especially with web
pages sporting a more than simple DOM (not even complex, really, having any
block level elements makes it cross that line) because of this i always try NOT
to use the grippy, by using a different corner or side of the window or carfully
positioning my cursor in that corner to ensure that i use the WM's resizing
management and not firefox's
I downloaded the current nightly snapshot and found that the grippy is gone and
resizing is smoother even. i vote to keep it that way unless the grippy's
issues can be overcome

Re: Comment #4:
I haven't seen a linux build of Firefox with a window resize gripper (I've tried
the official releases including the 1.04 release mentioned and some of the
nightlies). Am I missing something?

oh, and exhibit B - nightlies have no such grippes. we should keep it this
way.

sigh, i humbly apologize, the grippy is apparently the result of the Whitehart
skin i was using. suppose the bug report should go to them..?

The weird resize behaviour seems to be universal accross all themes that employ
a custom grippy widget on Firefox. I'mn not sure how this is being implemented,
since GnomeAppBar does not have a resize gadget, but whatever it is, it's likely
not a Firefox bug, except insofar as Firefox should be using GtkStatusbar
instead, and themes should be hooking into it rather than whatever their current
method is.
I can confirm that I've experienced this behaviour on every build so far, but
then all the themes I use tend to come with resize gadgets.

This is one of the biggest firefox annoyances with gnome. Is there really no viable way to get firefox to be resized easily on Gnome?
Here in Ubuntu it is a pain to resize windows, exspecially when compositing is turned on.

I can see a resize grip on Firefox main window with today's build.
Is this fixed by bug 118299?
