Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Maximize Firefox on any of your monitors (use your primary monitor first), with any or no page loaded. 2. Press F11 or select 'View > Full screen' to enter Full screen mode. 3. Exit Full screen. Actual Results: The window should still be maximized but notice the application border now extending into neighboring monitors. Expected Results: Since the window was maximized in one monitor, it shouldn't have extended itself into other nearby screens.
Not a shell integration bug... over to general for triage

I'm still seeing this happen on 3.5... In addition to the above, after exiting full screen and going back to a normal maximized window the resize window control in the bottom right appears for no reason. Doesn't seem to matter if it's a fresh or old profile.
Reporter, please retest with Firefox 3.6.12 or later in a fresh profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Also update your plugins (flash, adobe reader, java, quicktime, silverlight, etc.) Go to the developer's website and download the latest version from there. If you no longer see this issue, please close this bug as RESOLVED, WORKSFORME. If you do see the bug, please post a comment.

Anyone else still having this issue in v82.0.3 (like me)?
Here the maximized Firefox window on my main screen bleeds into a second screen above the primary.
The bleeding area is 8px high and entirely white (fff). It does not contain parts of the tabs which are at the top of the primary screen.

I created an account just to add a comment to this issue.

This happens to me on Windows 20H2, Firefox 83, Nvidia GeForce Game Ready Driver 457.30 (if it matters). On this PC I have my monitors stacked vertically, with a 1080p display on top of a 1440p display. This doesn't happen on my Ubuntu Linux machine running i3/nvidia-graphics-driver-450.

When Firefox is maximized on the bottom monitor (not fullscreened), there is a little bit of bleed onto the top monitor. When I enter fullscreen (F11), the bleed goes away, and if I exit fullscreen it comes back.

This behavior doesn't happen with the about:config setting browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar set to true, so if I had to guess, it's related to the custom title bar implementation - if I hover my mouse over the little black strip on the other monitor I can even grab and drag the window, so it appears that the issue is that the title bar is just a little bit too tall.

Oh, and this same bug is present in Thunderbird 78 as well.

Sorry, I made a mistake in my above comment - I meant to say that it doesn't happen with browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar set to false.

Never had this problem before, did a clean install and now i have the same problem. (Maybe it's a new nvidia driver + browser problem?)

I have the same setup as "rett gerst" a 1080p screen on top of a 1440p screen.
The fix also works, but it's not pretty.

Also it happens in Chrome and edge. Basically only browsers.

So just found this site. Having the same problem. Windows 10 latest updates, Firefox version 84.02 64 bit, when i maximize the browser it bleeds into my top monitor in a quad monitor set up. Annyoing as this happens with many applications not just Firefox

I can reproduce bleeding to top screen not only in Firefox, but also in Chrome and in Edge.
Related community report, with a good screenshot: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/internet-browsers-bleeding-into-top-monitor/1be22140-553d-439f-b05e-55b1c3f653cd

Same issue, Firefox 87.0 (64-bit) Win 10.0.19042 latest NVIDIA drivers.

Also appears with Edge and Chrome but to a lesser extent.

Same problem here. Very annoying. Firefox is hiding last line of my terminal window.

Can't believe this bug report is 12 years old.

Yep also having this issue in Firefox 90.0.2 with browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar set to false stopping the overlap - this would normally be hidden by the Windows task bar but many will not have this on all monitors / this becomes annoying when watching full screen videos.

This bug was opened many years ago and was actually fixed. The bug you are now seeing might be a new, separate, regression. Could you file a separate bug and add a link to it here?

To solve this bug, copy this into your userChrome.css:

:root[tabsintitlebar][sizemode="maximized"] {
  appearance: -moz-win-glass;
}

I have the same problem with a setup of 2 monitors at the top and 1 at the bottom. Maximizing Firefox lets the titlebar bleed into the top two monitors.

Firefox 94.0.1 (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1288]

I can confirm that both:

  • Toggling browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar to false
    or
  • Creating a userChrome.css and toggling 'toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets' to true (see post above)
    solve the problem.

The above fix works - until I toggle fullscreen (F11) on and off, and then the dark grey strip comes back until Firefox is restarted again.

I noticed that spawning new windows from the same process shows the same behavior - grey strip is absent until fullscreen is toggled on and off.

Just reiterating that this bug is still present on Firefox 100.0.2 (64-bit). Managed to fix it by changing about:config > browser.tabs.inTitlebar to 0, although it makes a very ugly text box with the name of the current tab appear on top of the page and i'm not sure how to make it go away. Really hope they fix this soon, as this bug has been around for 13 years now.

How is this marked resolved and why is the priority trivial?
