Window should fill entire page.

Lisa Gibson:  This also happened to me on a PC, Windows XP.  Just downloaded the newest version Firefox 2.0 and that's when I received the empty space at the bottom of window, under the status bar.  Can't resize window, everything remains proportional and there is still lots of blank space at the bottom.  With window maximized, the blank space is still there.
